《Star Odyssey》Chapter 702: Distant Dream
Advertisement
“I want to go to Armament Weave and follow Master Yi Feng,” a Lockbreaker proclaimed loudly before leaping into outer space.
Once he said those words, more and more Lockbreakers left one after another. Sourcepeak Planet was done for, and there was no meaning in staying behind any longer.
Felynn’s gaze grew complicated. The Outerverse Lockbreaker Society was truly finished.
“Aren’t you planning on doing something? If you allow them to leave, then even if you eventually become the president, you’ll barely have anyone left under you,” Lu Yin commented as he glanced at the surroundings.
Aden had been injured, but not too badly.
The main issue at the current moment was Deng Pu’s location, as he had seemingly disappeared the moment the fight broke out, and he likely still had the three pages of True Insight on his body.
Felynn looked at Lu Yin. “Are you really willing to support my presidency?”
“Of course,” Lu Yin replied.
If things had been the same as the past, Felynn would not have actually cared about Lu Yin’s support. Her original intentions had been to use Lu Yin to expose Saul’s schemes, but the situation had changed. Lu Yin had rallied a large number of Lockbreakers to protect the Hall of Insight, and in the final moments of battle, he had assisted Fiend Li in killing their greatest foe. In the hearts of all the Lockbreakers present, Lu Yin’s image was the largest.
“What are your conditions?” Felynn asked.
Lu Yin removed his universal armor and smiled at her. “Sourcepeak Planet is finished, but I know of a suitable planet for Lockbreakers to live on. I hope that you’ll be able to shift the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to that place.”
Felynn’s eyes flashed. “In Frostwave Weave?”
Lu Yin smiled. “That’s right.”
Felynn immediately refused. “That’s not possible. Sourcepeak Planet is the foundation of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society.”
“Wrong. Lockbreakers are the foundation of the Society. Without Lockbreakers, everything else is mere drivel.”
“You are no different than Wei Rong—you also want to divide the Lockbreakers,” Felynn accused as her tone harshened, resentment filling her eyes.
Lu Yin’s smile disappeared in response. “Wrong again. I’m different from him, as I’m not the kind of person to scheme and machinate.”
Felynn’s body trembled. “What do you mean?”
Lu Yin looked at her. “President Geoffrey is not around, Vice President Saul has been chased away, Honorary Vice President Fiend Li has died, Mr. Jun has run away, and Yi Feng has cast his lot in with the Wei family. Thus, the only one suitable to become the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society’s President out of everyone present is you. If these Lockbreakers learn that the person who came up with all of these hidden schemes is actually you, then what do you think they’ll do?”
Felynn went pale, and she stared intensely at Lu Yin.
“If they find out that a president like you was manipulated by others in a way that almost led to the entire Society’s collapse, what would they think?” Lu Yin asked calmly.
“You’re threatening me.” Felynn clenched her fists, and her originally gentle face turned dark.
Lu Yin’s tone grew even colder. “I am. Either you become the president and move the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to Frostwave Weave, after which the Great Eastern Alliance and I would support you, or you can become the shame of the entire Outerverse Lockbreaker Society and bear the guilt of causing the society’s collapse. Choose.”

Felynn trembled as her eyes flickered, occasionally with a sharp killing intent, and at other times with helpless embitterment.
She wanted to kill Lu Yin, but she did not have the ability to do so. “Even if you don’t say anything, as soon as I bring the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to Frostwave Weave, Wei Rong will expose everything,” Felynn said gloomily.
Lu Yin replied, “Perhaps. But if you don’t do as I say, I’ll do it right now.”
Felynn looked at Lu Yin with a pleading expression. “I can make you the society’s Honorary Vice President, and I can even follow your orders on many matters. Is there any way for you to leave the society’s headquarters here in Sourcepeak Weave?”
Lu Yin sighed. “This is why I said that your vision is too narrow and that you’re foolish. Sourcepeak Planet is just some random place that was chosen by some ancient Lockbreakers, and it is just a location. It once symbolized the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society, but once the Hall of Insight collapsed, its power as the symbol lost all meaning. We want to reestablish a new symbol of the society at this time, and you and I will write a new page in this chapter of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society. Do you understand?”
Felynn stood on the spot and carefully considered his words.
Lu Yin continued, saying, “By staying on Sourcepeak Planet, you will forever remain as an appointed president of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society, and the most useless one at that. Once the Innerverse and Outerverse reconnect and President Geoffrey returns, you will lose all value. If you go to Frostwave Weave, then the new Outerverse Lockbreaker Society will be founded by you, and everything that the society’s Lockbreakers gain will have been because of you. They will respect you for your actions, and not just because of your title as Society president.”
“But what can I offer them? If we take the society to Frostwave Weave, then will Lockbreakers even be willing to follow me?” Felynn asked.
Lu Yin smiled. “What Yi Feng can do, you just have to do better than him.”
Felynn was astonished. “You want me to freely offer my lockbreaking experience?”
Lu Yin’s lips curled upwards. “Not just you, but many other Lockbreakers have to do so as well. You are one of the society’s executives, just like Yifeng Li. You should also be aware of the Society’s sourceboxes and that you can take them out for distribution. Either way, I don’t really care how you do it—just bring these Lockbreakers to Frostwave Weave. As a form of repayment, the Great Eastern Alliance and I will always support you.”
Felynn stood in place and considered Lu Yin’s offer, but she was still at a loss for what to do.
More and more Lockbreakers started leaving Sourcepeak Planet, and they were all heading towards Armament Weave.
Lu Yin coldly said, “Sourcepeak Planet is no longer suitable for survival, so make a decision quickly. Otherwise, too many Lockbreakers will be lured over to Armament Weave by Yi Feng, and there won’t be any meaning left in you becoming the president.”
Felynn looked up and leaped into the sky off in the distance. “I understand.”
Lu Yin looked at her, and then he looked at where he had fought against the Corpse King underground. Wang Wen’s voice rang out in his ears. “You might enjoy an even greater harvest than Wei Rong this time.”

“Hopefully. You got me to break Sourcepeak Planet’s core so that it’ll no longer be habitable. Will this really push the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to relocate to Frostwave Weave?” Lu Yin asked.
Wang Wen replied, “Of course, so long as you control Felynn. Lockbreakers hold a position that is too revered, but aside from taking some risks to increase their lockbreaking experience, they rarely ever take any risks. Hence, most Lockbreakers are essentially flowers in a greenhouse, and they are not very proficient at taking care of themselves. Also, with the Society’s long term protection, nobody dares to act against any Lockbreakers. Thus, their reliance on the society is even greater than what you can imagine. Once Felynn uses the Society’s name to relocate it to Frostwave Weave, many Lockbreakers will absolutely head over there.”
Lu Yin nodded, as he could understand this line of reasoning. When he had still been weak, he had relied on the Lockbreaker Society to survive against his many enemies. Otherwise, the Daynight clan could have sent any random clan member to take care of him. Lockbreakers truly relied on the Lockbreaker Society a tremendous amount.
“Pawn Bro, let me ask you a question.” Wang Wen’s tone suddenly changed to that of curiosity. “What exactly are you trying to accomplish with the Great Eastern Alliance?”
Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. “I want to protect the eastern weaves.”
“Just the eastern region?” Wang Wen’s voice climbed higher, as he clearly didn’t believe Lu Yin.
“What do you think?” Lu Yin replied.
“Actually, the Outerverse’s resources are fairly comparable to the Innerverse’s, since it covers a much greater area. If all seventy two weaves united, it would form a very terrifying power, especially in terms of resources. If they all unite, then the capability the Outerverse could display would be something neither of us can even estimate,” Wang Wen said.
Lu Yin sighed. “That’s true, but the Outerverse is too big, and no one can integrate it in its entirety. Even the biggest corporations, like Endless Borders, that claim to be able to move throughout the Outerverse unhindered only occasionally make visits all the way to Frostwave Weave. They at most know of shortcuts and have regular routes in around thirty-some weaves, and they will never be able to cover the entire Outerverse.”
“It was truly impossible before, but things are different now. The dramatic increase in energy has caused the Innerverse and Outerverse to become separated, and it has also isolated many places in the Outerverse’s seventy-two weaves. All in all, many matters have become easier to take care of as there’s less interference now. As long as one has the ability, they can annex the Outerverse step by step—just take your Great Eastern Alliance, for example. If it was the same as before, then any random weave could just ask for some support from the Innerverse, and your Great Eastern Alliance would be finished. However, right now, such things can’t happen.
“If the Great Eastern Alliance is successfully established, then spreading westwards is also possible. There are still too few supreme powerhouses in the Outerverse for how many resources it contains. In the past, those resources were always hoarded by the Innerverse. If all of these resources could be used to develop the Outerverse, then the number of powerhouses born might not be any fewer than the Innerverse…”
Wang Wen had said a lot in his explanation, and Lu Yin listened to him attentively for quite a while. Then, he finally asked, “What is that you want to say?”
Wang Wen smiled mischievously. “Have you ever thought of completely uniting the entire Outerverse?”
Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. “Yes, in my dreams.”
“It’s no longer a dream.”
“I can’t do it.”
“How would you know if you don’t try?”
“Are you going to help me?”
Wang Wen then fell silent. “One can grow tired after staying in Ironblood Weave for too long. I can help you, but my condition is that you must first completely unite the Great Eastern Alliance, as a gift to welcome me. I guarantee that my gift in return will make you very excited.”
“What gift?” Lu Yin was full of expectations.
Wang Wen smiled, but he said nothing further. “Chesspiece Bro, the unification of the Outerverse is not as simple as just integrating its resources. If you can actually unite the Outerverse, then the benefits you would obtain are unimaginable to the you of right now. Once you reach that point, you will understand. Work hard to arrive at that position. Goodbye.” And with that, he disconnected from the call.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. Uniting the Outerverse was a distant dream, and it also posed a great challenge.
If the Great Eastern Alliance could be established, then why couldn’t the seventy-two weaves of the Outerverse be united? He truly would not know if he didn’t even try.
In the distance, Felynn looked down at the bewildered Lockbreakers from high up in the sky. Did she really have to do as Lu Yin had said and become his puppet? She thought about it one last time before gritting her teeth and activating her gadget. Quickly, a voice was heard from it. “Executive Felynn, why did you contact me so late?”
Felynn was seething. “Wei Rong, you went against our agreement.”
“Executive Felynn, you can’t make baseless remarks like that. Back then, our agreement was for me to help you chase Saul away so that you could take the position of president. I have done what I agreed to. Hasn’t Saul been chased away? And now, there’s nobody else in the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society who can threaten your position, so you will naturally become the president. Isn’t that true?” Wei Rong smiled.
Felynn was furious. “You broke the society apart and had Yi Feng take away the Lockbreakers. Is there any meaning to me holding the position of president anymore? Your true objective was to seize the Society’s treasury. You used me!”
Wei Rong smiled. “Executive, there’s no need to speak so harshly. Since you feel that there’s no meaning to the Society anymore, then why don’t you come to Armament Weave and help me? You are already familiar with Executive Yi Feng, so the cooperation between the two of you will be smooth. Xin’er also welcomes your arrival, as you are her mentor after all.”
