Chapter 1007 (1/2)

Under the open sky, Huang San walked over with two bottles of wine in his hands, and he passed one over to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin took the bottle and drank a mouthful. “So you’re not planning to return to the Sixth Mainland?”

Huang San shook his head. “That’s difficult to say. Even before we discuss whether or not I can even go back, if I do, I’ll have to deal with the Autumnfrost family. Things might be fine if I don’t return to my Huang family.”

Lu Yin replied, “The war’s over and the Sixth Mainland has completely retreated.”

Huang San was surprised at this news. “Your Fifth Mainland actually managed to defend itself. How miraculous.”

Lu Yin laughed. Miraculous? Nobody had any idea what the Fifth Mainland’s Neoverse was hiding, and although the Sixth Mainland had been absolutely confident in being able to crush the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin had felt that the Fifth Mainland was not as simple as people assumed it to be. There were things that were hidden quite deeply. Even if the other powers were ignored, it was a fact that the primary heirs of the Three Dark Hands had never even shown their faces during the battle in the Cosmic Sea. There must have been other plans in the works.

Nobody seemed to know just what those plans might be, and even the Outerverse’s top powers were clueless. People’s thoughts were often too naive.

“Deafmute Bro, I’m really curious. Who beat you up so badly?” Huang San asked once again.

Lu Yin remained silent for a moment. “An old enemy.”

“From the Fifth Mainland?” Huang San was surprised.

Lu Yin nodded. “You wouldn’t know even if I told you. Are you planning on living in the Technocracy from now on?”

Huang San shook his head. “I don’t know. We’ll see.”

Lu Yin glanced over at the mansion. “She’s willing to follow you?”

Huang San suddenly looked depressed, and he shook his head. “She just relies on me to survive and for comfort.”

“Since you guys are relying on each other, then at least you have a different status in her heart now. Congrats,” Lu Yin replied.

Huang San forced out a smile. While he hoped that Yan Xiaojing truly liked him and was not merely relying on him due to their desperate circumstances, he was still satisfied with things as they were. It was fine just being together with his beloved, even if they did end up having to remain in the Technocracy in the future.

Lu Yin took out his gadget and tried to use it, but there was no signal of any sort. Nothing from the Human Domain could reach this place, so he could not contact anyone. However, there was still one function of the gadget that he could use, which was the scan function that generated a basic star chart.

The gadget itself was a signal transmitter, so it could connect to various interstellar signals. Even if there were no signals, the gadget could still use its transmitter to scan the surrounding area and create a local star chart, and the range of this ability was about the size of a galaxy.

A galaxy was simply too minuscule in the scope of the entire universe, and Lu Yin had never used this function before. He also did not dare to use it at this moment, as the Technocracy’s research teams might detect the scanning signal and then track it down to find him. There was no way he could survive against the Technocracy’s powerhouses.

“Do you have any way of leaving this place?” Lu Yin asked.

Huang San smiled bitterly, “We accidentally got here when we were running away from Autumnfrost Qing. We actually don’t even know where this place is, let alone how to leave.”

Lu Yin muttered and touched his gadget. If he did not leave, then he would be trapped in the Technocracy forever, which was not at all what he wanted. Was such a fate any different from simply dying?

Over the next few days, Lu Yin familiarized himself with the changes to his body, and he also explored the planet. However, he was dismayed to discover that the planet’s technology was only barely able to explore the surrounding bit of outer space and that they had barely launched any satellites. This planet could not even explore their own galaxy let alone help Lu Yin escape. If he simply got in a collapsible spacecraft and traveled in a random direction, he would have a better chance at success than trying to get help from this planet.

Helpless, Lu Yin could only take a risk and scan the galaxy with his gadget.

Once the gadget was activated, a screen appeared before his eyes as the gadget continuously scanned in all directions. Duolun Star appeared first before the known area expanded out in all directions with the planet at the center. Soon, the star chart of an entire galaxy could be seen.

As he studied the star chart, there was a blank look on Lu Yin’s face. He could not recognize anything on this chart. Just a single galaxy was not enough, as he could not find anything that would give him a sense of direction of how to return to the Human Domain.

Huang San was astonished when he saw what Lu Yin was doing to learn about the galaxy that they were in, and he hurriedly had Lu Yin deactivate his gadget. “Deafmute Bro, this is the Technocracy! Even someone like me, who’s from the Sixth Mainland, knows that this entire place is constantly being monitored by the Master Brain. Playing around like this will just end up getting us all killed.”

Yan Xiaojing had a serene expression as she stared at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin apologetically responded, “I’m sorry, but I want to go back.”

Huang San had no other options available, so he simply stayed quiet.

Lu Yin spoke up, “How about this—I’ll leave this planet and only then will I continue to explore this galaxy.”

Huang San wanted to say something, but Yan Xiaojing spoke up first. “Thank you.”

Lu Yin nodded, as he understood these two’s intentions. They had wanted to live ordinary lives, and he would not allow himself to disturb their peace.

Before he left the planet, Lu Yin seriously asked Huang San, “Are you really willing to stay here?”

Huang San did not seem fully satisfied with this situation. He was still young, so how could he be willing to give up on everything? However, returning to the Sixth Mainland would spell his death, as the Autumnfrost family was incredibly powerful, and it was not something that he could go against. In order for the Huang and Yan families to remain safe, the two youths could only remain where they were.
