Chapter 1181: Arbitration World

Lu Yin’s heart fell when he heard Mu En's question. This was not good. When the Xun family elder had told Elder Lohar about the Neohuman Alliance’s presence on Shenwu Continent, Elder Lohar had intended to destroy the continent. However, he had been stopped by Lu Yin. To gain the necessary authority, Lu Yin had revealed that he was able to visit the Daosource Sect. If Mu En reached out to Elder Lohar, then not only would the fact that Lu Yin was able to visit the Daosource Sect be revealed, but the matter regarding the blood-red bell might also come to light.

Lu Yin was not overly concerned if his ability to visit the Daosource sect was revealed, as it was not terribly important in the grander scheme of things. However, the matter regarding that little red bell could not be revealed.

All of this flashed through Lu Yin’s mind in an instant, and he quickly replied, "Junior reported the matter to Yuan Shi, who personally went to sweep through Shenwu Continent."

Mu En nodded, not having any doubts regarding the truth of this statement. Lu Yin’s relationship with Yuan Shi was widely known within the Hall of Honor, and this was not an issue that Lu Yin could afford to lie about. Besides, Lu Yin’s knowledge of the vitality-draining poison supported his statements, as he could have simply kept his mouth shut.

This was exactly why Mu En did not grow suspicious of Lu Yin’s answer, and instead, he continued on speaking. "The poison that was used here was not No. 91, but No. 70 at the least. Or possibly an even stronger version of the poison," Mu En said quietly.

Lu Yin knew that the Regression poison’s number indicated their efficacy, but he had still not expected the poison that had been used on this world to have been so potent. This poison had killed off an entire world.

He then remembered the assassin in the Outerverse, Poison Master. It had been said that he had once killed 100 billion people, but they had been almost all regular humans. This hidden world had held many powerful experts, and there had definitely been Envoys among their numbers.

Wait a moment, there were more than 3,000 hidden worlds across the Honor Zone. It was impossible for each of them to have an Envoy.

Even after searching through the entire hidden world, no one from the Neohuman Alliance could be found. So. Mu En took Lu Yin and the other two youths back out of the hidden world before incinerating the entire dimension.

"What a pity. If not for the Regression poison, that world could have been sold at a very decent price," Mu En casually commented.

Lu Yin was puzzled. "Sold?"

Shu Jing opened his mouth to offer an explanation. "Selling off hidden worlds is a business exclusive to the Neoverse. As long as one has reached the Envoy realm, then with the proper materials, they can make a hidden world like this one and then sell it off. Most of the hidden worlds throughout the Honor Zone are ones that were made and sold in this manner, and some were even custom-made".

Lu Yin was rendered speechless; was such a thing actually possible? Even worlds could be made? This was something that he had never considered before. It was no wonder why there were 3,000 hidden worlds roaming about the Honor Zone.

Learning that hidden worlds could be made in such a manner calmed Lu Yin down, because he had been under the impression that each hidden world had their own Envoy level powerhouse. The thought of more than 3,000 Envoys roaming about was simply terrifying.

The world hidden within the drop of water was completely incinerated by Mu En, and finally, an ancient stone fell out of the void that the elder picked up and tucked away.

Lu Yin assumed that the stone was likely one of the materials needed to make a hidden world. If that was the case, then just having this material meant that one would be able to ask an Envoy for help and make a hidden world!

The universe was so vast that all sorts of strange situations and environments existed.

Not even rumors of such possibilities had entered the Outerverse or the Innerverse’s ear. Or, if they had, those rumors had never reached Lu Yin’s ears. This was because such a thing was completely out of reach for the people in those places, and the necessary material to create hidden worlds would never even make it to the Innerverse or Outerverse.

The destruction of an entire world left everyone in a gloomy mood. The Neohuman Alliance was pervasive and coldblooded, and they employed the absolute worst methods to achieve their goals.

Lu Yin suddenly remembered that Silver had mentioned something about Whiteless God and Aeterna, the list of every person in the Human Domain who was cooperating with the Neohuman Alliance. Lu Yin had initially wanted to mention this list of people to Mu En, but he had eventually decided against it. For one, revealing such a thing to Mu En would be useless. After all, he was only a Judicial Commissioner, and he did not possess the power or authority to investigate such a thing. Additionally, it was impossible to know if Mu En might be part of Aeterna himself.

Sometimes, the less likely it seemed for a person to be a traitor, the more likely it was that they actually were one.

Lu Yin's experience throughout the years had tempered him to always remain calm and steady, so he would not rashly speak up. He knew the proverb regarding loose lips.

The matter regarding Aeterna had only been casually mentioned by Silver, and it was entirely possible that most of the Neohuman Alliance’s members had no knowledge of such a list existing. It would be easy for them to act like Silver had never said anything, but if the Neohuman Alliance discovered that Lu Yin was revealing all of these secrets, he would be in great trouble and might face a disaster in the nearby future.

Before long, far off in the distance, at the limits of Lu Yin’s vision, a light appeared. Soon after he saw the light, the scenery around them changed. Everything started to feel warmer, safer, and even… holier.

"This is the Hall of Honor. Don’t randomly use your Truesight here," Mu En warned Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was startled, as he had just been thinking of observing how many rune lines there were in the Hall of Honor, but Mu En’s warning was like a bucket of cold water.

He had not even been able to observe the runes in the Sea King’s Dome, as the attempt had caused his eyes to bleed. And the Sea King’s Dome was definitely lightyears away from matching up to the Hall of Honor. If Lu Yin behaved rashly and used Truesight here, he would definitely end up suffering for it.

"Thank you for the reminder." Lu Yin was grateful.

Mu En’s voice revealed his emotions. "The universe has endured countless years, and from when mankind first appeared to the present, there have been countless powerhouses who have created untold numbers of civilizations and techniques. But throughout all the eons, Truesight can still be considered to stand at the absolute top. The Rune Progenitor was someone who truly stood at the pinnacle of humanity. You have been able to cultivate Truesight, so if you ever receive the opportunity, try to visit Gods’ Origin. They have many relics from the Rune Civilization.”

"I’ll keep that in mind,” Lu Yin replied. He then looked up, and his pupils shrank. The cniu truly moved too quickly, because in just the blink of an eye, they had finished approaching the Hall of Honor. Lu Yin was suddenly able to see the seat of the master of the entire Human Domain.

So, this was the Hall of Honor?

Lu Yin glanced around in shock. There were lofty mountains whose peaks he could not see. There were white clouds, wide rivers, giant beasts, bright stars, and even enormous galaxies rotating about the mountains. There was an indescribable brilliance no matter where he looked. The sea that he saw seemed to cover the stars, and there were what looked like worlds lying within the rivers. He noticed one hidden world after another no matter where he looked, alongside numerous bizarre life forms.

Humans were not the only beings here, as there were also various other creatures. They ran the gamut from beautiful, flowery elves to ancient, majestic, and solemn giant apes. There were also divine pythons that were too long to see all at once, and so much more.

There were million-foot-tall trees that shot straight into the starry sky and delicate air currents decorating them. He noticed that there was also a humanoid race that looked like palm-sized humans living on the trees. The tiny people were staring up at them with curiosity.

With the speed that the cniu traveled at, they were suddenly in the middle of an ocean, or more accurately, they were within a flower that was blooming in the middle of the ocean.

This flower was a world itself, and it held other hidden worlds as well.

There were many people in the sky, and they were riding a variety of creatures, but they were soon swept far behind them.

Next, they saw tens of millions of people, all kneeling in the direction of the high mountains, and they were surrounded by countless experts from the Hall of Honor. High above them, there were ripples separating them from the rest of the sky, and it gave the impression of the Hall of Honor being removed from the rest of the universe.

Lu Yin could not see the end of the Hall of Honor as it was simply too big. The Hall of Honor consisted of one percent of the Honor Zone, and although that sounded like a tiny amount, when one considered the sheer size of the Honor Zone, it meant that the Hall of Honor actually took up a massive area.

"There are more than 3,000 hidden worlds in the Honor Zone, and my Hall of Honor possesses more than a hundred of them. All of the hidden worlds hope to gain the attention of my Hall of Honor and receive our blessing," Mu En commented.

Lu Yin looked in all four directions in awe. He could not describe the emotions rocking his heart at this moment, but he knew that he was less than an ant in the face of the Hall of Honor.

Eh? There? Lu Yin looked at one point far off in the distance in amazement. It was what appeared to be a normal mountain whose peak had been cut off at a corner, and although it looked like a natural rock formation, such a thing was impossible within the Hall of Honor. It was more likely a scar leftover from an attack.

Mu En followed Lu Yin's gaze and softly said, "Let's go. I’ll take you to the Arbitration World."

Lei Nü and Shu Jing bade Mu En and Lu Yin farewell before taking their leave, though they glanced back at Lu Yin.

As the master of the Human Domain, the Hall of Honor radiated a bright, warm feeling. They gave the impression of being tolerant and graceful, as though they were the ones that offered the greatest amount of help possible to all who came. However, beneath this radiance, the Hall of Honor was a steel rod. They were ruthless, and they possessed the most powerful team of enforcers in the entire Human Domain. These enforcers were known as the Interstellar Supreme Court.

A defining feature of the Neoverse was the presence of hidden worlds, and while some of these hidden worlds contained unknown civilizations, the Interstellar Supreme Court was also headquartered within a hidden world, and not just any at that.

Mu En led Lu Yin across half of the Hall of Honor before entering and descending to the very bottom of a massive tree. That was where the Arbitration World was located.

There was light at the top and darkness at the bottom. It was as though the Arbitration World provided nutrients to the Hall of Honor and was forever hidden down below it.

The moment Lu Yin entered the Arbitration World, his entire body felt cold. He looked around and saw a dark starry sky, but it was as though he could not see anything at all. Lu Yin knew that he was being watched from the moment he had entered. He also knew that if he showed any signs of suspicion at all, he would not be able to survive for even a second.

The vast space that surrounded them was filled with stars, and there were people atop each star. Lu Yin assumed that they were people from the Supreme Court. They looked decisive, cold-blooded, and ruthless, and their mere existence ensured the Hall of Honor’s unquestionable authority over the rest of the Human Domain.

Lu Yin understood that he was facing the sword of the Human Domain and that he was looking at the sharpest blade of the Hall of Honor’s enforcer.

Without saying anything, Mu En led Lu Yin forward and had him move to a massive star in the center of the space.

The moment Lu Yin reached the star, his body lurched, and beads of sweat rained down from his forehead. He felt countless eyes staring at him from all directions. The gazes of the experts on this star focused on him with ruthless eyes, and hints of killing and teasing intent came at him from everywhere, all at once.

Lu Yin was almost left breathless. This was similar to the unbearable pressure that he had suffered when he first visited the Great Yu Empire’s court. However, at that time, he had just been a Sentinel and had been facing powerhouses who had been stronger than Cruisers, whose mere pressure had left him unable to breath. At the moment, Lu Yin was feeling the same pressure again, but this time, the killing intent was stronger.

These people were like predators.

"What are you looking at?" A stern shout caused the stars to tremble, and even the Arbitration World itself.

Lu Yin snapped out of his daze and realized that there was someone in front of him. Lu Yin could not see the man’s face, as his back was facing Lu Yin. The man raised his right hand. "Look at him like that again, and I’ll exterminate you!"

Mu En moved over to Lu Yin's side before stepping forward to stand next to the man’s side. He respectfully spoke to the man, saying, "Mister Wudi,1 my apologies. These people are accustomed to acting in such a way, so please set your anger aside.”

Lu Yin stared at the person in front of him; had this man just managed to suppress the entire Arbitration World with just one sentence? That was too terrifying! Mr. Invincible? Could this person possibly be…?

The man snorted coldly, and his eyes swept past Mu En to look back at Lu Yin. The man’s eyes suddenly softened, and he revealed a smile. "Don't be afraid. Who would dare bully you? Your Senior Brother will handle this for you.”

Lu Yin's eyes lit up, and he immediately bowed. "Nominal disciple Lu Yin greets Senior Brother.”

This man was none other than the most senior disciple of Eversky Island, Highsage Wudi. He was a terrifying powerhouse with a power level that exceeded a million, and a single word from him was enough to suppress the entire Arbitration World.
