The human race's strength had fallen too far behind, leaving Lin Yu sighing.
"After this incident, although I intervened, the human race still lost considerable face. Therefore, this alliance of various races needs to change."
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"How should it change?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Naturally, it should be led by our human race. Previously, we had a loose alliance, but from today onwards, I want to turn some willing races into an alliance with the human race at its core."
Lin Yu elaborated on his idea, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Lin Yu's concept was simple:
Subjugate some willing races, making them subordinate to the human race to strengthen their power.
As for those who refused to submit, he wouldn't force them, but they would lose many privileges.
With Lin Yu overseeing things, there was no need to worry about problems.
This plan was adopted by the cabinet. Lin Yu left some clones to protect the cabinet members and then returned to his small courtyard.
.........
Lin Yu commanded, "All clones, learn alchemy!"
Upon receiving the order, all clones were assigned a new task.
While the clones were refining pills, Lin Yu was not idle.
He had no intention of letting go of anyone who dared to cause trouble.
Immediately after defeating those troublemakers, Lin Yu dispatched his clones to occupy the spatial gates.
He silently chanted, "Qing Zhu, come here!"
Qing Zhu, who was battling afar in the abyss, suddenly received the main body's command and halted his expansion.
He had already forged a path to the twentieth level of the abyss.
The battle had commenced, and relying on his immense power, he advanced like a broken bamboo, even killing a demon of the God King level.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's summons, he immediately set aside his work, gave some instructions, and led the Seven Deadly Sins under his command towards Blue Star.
.........
Lin Yu looked at Qing Zhu, whose aura had become more restrained, and smiled with satisfaction, "Go and eliminate these forces!"
"Understood!" Qing Zhu agreed without hesitation.
Qing Zhu departed, and Lin Yu then sent Immortal Buddha to lead the Buddhist followers in conquering another world.
There were over a dozen worlds that had caused trouble before.
Lin Yu would not favor one over another and intended to eliminate all those forces one by one.
Lin Yu observed the alchemy-refining clones and, with a thought, summoned ten billion clones.
"You all go too!"
"Yes!"
Due to the distance limitations for clones, these clones entering the spatial gates, while maintaining a connection through the spatial gate, would have their operational range significantly reduced.
Therefore, for missions in other worlds, he would either go personally or have permanent clones undertake them.
Soon,
Dozens of spatial gates were graced by the arrival of Lin Yu's clones.
These clones were immediately noticed upon their appearance, and the news quickly spread, reaching many factions.
Many faction leaders, upon hearing of this, shook their heads.
Some even wore expressions of mockery.
"Lin Yu is too arrogant. Although he has many clones, he is not invincible."
"Indeed, every world has its trump cards. Fighting in another world is akin to seeking death."
"Just you wait, he will fail."
"......."
Only a very few held confidence in him.
However, Lin Yu did not care.
Moreover, he had also instructed his clones to record the events, and upon their return, he would play the footage for all the myriad worlds to witness the consequences of provoking the human race.
.......
Xuan Ling Great World.
This was a Great World of the Golden Immortal level.
Within the world, countless powerful forces existed, including sacred lands presided over by ancient beings of the Golden Immortal level.
This world had three such sacred lands, usually aloof and considering themselves superior.
However, at this moment, the skies above these three sacred lands were sealed by arrays.
Outside the arrays, Qing Zhu, accompanied by the abyss forces, forcibly moved the three sacred mountains together and sealed the space with arrays to prevent escape.
The three Golden Immortals stared at Qing Zhu with fury.
They were all prideful beings and hadn't expected Lin Yu to be so vengeful and actually come for retribution.
Xue Ji Sacred Land's Supreme Elder shouted, "You are too overbearing!"
Qing Zhu snorted, "I have already shown leniency. Otherwise, I would have annihilated all life in this world. Today, I will only destroy your three sects. This is mercy beyond the law."
Yan Sect's Supreme Elder was enraged.
"I have traversed all realms for three million years, and I have never encountered someone as arrogant as you. Youngster, know that there is always someone stronger, and there is always a higher heaven!"
Qing Zhu laughed heartily, "Of course, I understand the principle of 'there is always someone stronger and a higher heaven.' Unfortunately, you are neither that 'someone stronger' nor that 'higher heaven.'"
Xue Sect's Supreme Elder, with a surging blood-red aura, declared.
"I have not made a move for ten thousand years. Boy, today I will show you what true heritage is! How can a young person like you compare?"
Xue Ji Sacred Land's Supreme Elder drew his long spear.
"Fellow Daoists, let us strike together and exterminate him with lightning speed!"
The other two Supreme Elders nodded.
"Kill!"
The battle commenced.
The three ancient beings unleashed their full power, determined to strike a fatal blow.
Unfortunately, facing an existence like Qing Zhu, they were destined for disappointment.
Before coming, Qing Zhu had already performed a fusion technique.
His ten million-level fused clones made him an absolute top-tier existence within the Golden Immortal realm.
He narrowed his eyes, and paths of emotional flames ignited in his hand.
"Fire of Sorrow!"
Flames composed of sorrow flew from his hand, crashing into the three.
The three easily dispelled the fire of sorrow with a single blow.
But they soon found themselves struggling to cope.
"Ice of Injury!"
"Flower of Joy!"
"Fire of Jealousy!"
"......"
Emotional powers, each at the extreme of the Golden Immortal realm, attacked without restraint.
The three struggled to defend themselves. Suddenly, Xue Ji Sacred Land's Supreme Elder, due to a moment's lapse, was struck by a fire of jealousy.
His face turned red at a visible pace.
His eyes blazed with jealous fire, and all things in heaven and earth became targets of his envy.
"Why are you stronger than me?"
"You dare be stronger than me? I will kill you, and then I will be the strongest!"
"Hahaha, I will kill you!"
His eyes turned red, and he attacked the other two.
Xue Sect's Supreme Elder shouted in alarm, "What are you doing?"
"I'll kill you!" Xue Ji Sacred Land's Supreme Elder lost his reason.
"Quick, quick, he's lost his mind, restrain him," shouted Xue Sect's Supreme Elder.
The two of them quickly acted and had just managed to restrain Xue Ji Sacred Land's Supreme Elder when Qing Zhu's attacks descended once more.
Boom!
The blood of grief dyed Xue Sect's Supreme Elder.
The flames of sorrow burned on Yan Sect's elder.
All three ancient beings were afflicted with the poison of emotion.
They became delirious and lost their sanity.
Seeing this, Qing Zhu chuckled.
"It's time to harvest! The emotional power of these three ancient beings will surely propel me further."
