Planet Pulverizer: A Mortal's Ascent-Chapter 549: Taking a Detour

Bang!

Yu Hanyan furiously swept away the cup in front of her, sending it flying more than ten meters before it crashed heavily against the wall and shattered into pieces.

"How arrogant!" she roared.

Yu Hanyan abruptly stood up, gritting her teeth. "Who does this Li Pin think he is? He wants our family's patriarch to personally recruit him?! He actually believes he is worthy?!"

Listening to her young lady rage, Yu Yu wanted to say that Li Pin was a Divine Being and was qualified to make such a request. It wasn't at all excessive. But considering how furious Yu Hanyan was, Yu Yu knew it wasn't the best time to provoke her further.

It was their fault as well. Since she was a child, Yu Hanyan had been instilled with the idea of the Yu Clan's superiority, making her believe that anyone would jump at the chance to join their family with a mere beckon.

In the past, that had indeed been the case. This was how it was for the two Divine Beings and one Tier Six Legend they had previously recruited.

However, Li Pin was clearly a tough nut. He did not care about the Yu Clan's reputation. Or perhaps he had already joined the Si Clan. That would explain why he didn't seem to care about a junior like Yu Hanyan.

Yu Yu remarked, "Li Pin speaks with great confidence because he is a Divine Being. But we don't have a good solution. If our family's grand patriarch really sends down an avatar and personally invites him, he will gain both face and status. Joining us would only boost his own prestige. But if we don't summon the grand patriarch, and he is determined to reject us, we will have no way to force him."

She spoke in a tactful tone. "I suspect... that his suggestion is not just about joining us, but also a test of how favored you are within the family."

Yu Hanyan frowned.

She was different from other Legends in the family. Although she was only at Tier Two Legend and had yet to comprehend inner spirit power, her significance within the family surpassed even some who had already mastered it.

The main reason was Astral God Yin Luo's inheritance.

To secure a foothold in the Yin Luo inheritance, the Yu Clan sent hundreds of descendants into Yin Luo, producing hundreds of offspring. Yet, in the end, she was the only one with exceptional talent, reaching the level of a true genius.

If she could obtain the inheritance of Astral God Yin Luo in the future, she would ascend to the rank of an Astral God. Moreover, with the renowned status of Yin Luo, known as the Light of the Ark in the Astral World, once she fully assimilated his inheritance, achieving the Solar Flare level would not be a mere fantasy.

What did this mean? It meant that this was an opportunity for an Astral God family to ascend and extend their influence to the Star Abyss level.

The benefits were immense, but the corresponding competition was just as fierce.

There were numerous Astral God families competing for Astral God Yin Luo's inheritance. Some of these families had extraordinary backgrounds and connections, to the extent that the Homo Sapien Alliance had to turn a blind eye to certain actions in recent stellar years.

Under such circumstances, unless she had already demonstrated a clear lead in securing the top spot on the successor list, the family would never bet all their manpower and resources to support her.

Yu Hanyan said, "Right now is the critical moment in our competition for Astral God Yin Luo's inheritance. Our family must demonstrate enough strength and resolve.

"Given our influence in the Yuan Yang Star Domain, if we show an unwavering determination to obtain Yin Luo's inheritance, the smaller Astral God families will inevitably feel intimidated and back off. By then, the pressure we face from our competition will be greatly reduced."

A cold light flashed in her eyes. "Therefore, I think our family needs to make an example of Li Pin. We need to create a big commotion."

"Make an example of Li Pin?" Yu Yu looked at her. "Are you saying we should request from the patriarch to make a move? To use Li Pin as an example to establish the Yu Clan's reputation across the Yin Luo Galaxy?"

"That's right." Yu Hanyan nodded. "Li Pin comes from Gaia and has no background. Though he became a Divine Being, he is not a Tier Six Legend. Very few Astral Gods would invest much effort in mere Divine Beings. In other words, he can't affiliate with any powerful factions. Killing such a Divine Being with no background and foundation is the best way to establish authority."

She turned her gaze to Yu Yu. "Contact the patriarch for me. I will speak to him personally."

"Okay."

With that, the two quickly headed toward a palace.

The palace was enveloped in two layers of Astral Formations, blocking nearly all external probing. Unless an Astral God personally came with probing equipment, even a Divine Being could not sense any information from within the palace.

After activating the Astral Formation, Yu Yu quickly went up to a mirror about four meters high and began operating it.

This mirror was actually a semi-divine equipment. It was so expensive that it was priced the same as a high-quality primary planet.

As Yu Yu continued with the operations, the mirror quickly emitted a faint glow. After a while, the light condensed, and a figure was formed.

It was the Yu Clan's patriarch, Yu Jianglong—an ancient and powerful Divine Being.

Though he was a Divine Being, he had been in this realm for 60,000 stellar years. His Power Level was so high he could be said to have reached the peak of the Divine Being level.

Yu Jianglong even had the glorious record of defeating an Astral God's avatar.

The reason he never entered the Astral World was that he had once stumbled upon a great opportunity, obtaining twelve pieces of Astral World Fragments in one go.

He used these twelve Astral World Fragments to enhance his own, creating a small Astral World. This greatly increased the small Astral World's solidity and risk resistance. However, this had simultaneously made it exponentially more difficult to enter the Astral World.

He essentially forgone any possibility of becoming an Astral God. Because of this, Yu Jianglong had no choice but to settle for less and took charge of the various matters in the Yu Clan.

Yu Jianglong looked at Yu Hanyan and smiled. "Hanyan. How is it? Are you getting used to things over at Yin Luo? Do you have any questions with regard to your cultivation? Do you need any other resources?"

"I'm fine here..." answered Yu Hanyan. "But... recently, I encountered a bit of an accident and came across someone who is arrogant and ungrateful..."

She appeared quite obedient and respectful in front of the clan master.

"A person who's arrogant and ungrateful? Who dares to make our Hanyan angry?" Yu Jianglong said calmly. "You are the future light of our Yu Clan. As long as they are not one of the few major families from Yuan Yang Radiance, you can teach the people who dare provoke you a lesson however you want."

His words were full of the domineering attitude of a clan master.

The Yu Clan could afford this level of confidence.

In the entire Yuan Yang Star Domain, the families they had to be wary of could be counted on one hand. As for the others, there'd just be a few other families of similar strength.

However, if the children of those families clashed with Yu Hanyan in the Yin Luo Galaxy, it would definitely be due to the Astral God Yin Luo's inheritance. This meant they were the Yu Clan's competitors.

When facing competitors, the domineering Yu Clan naturally would not show mercy.

However, after saying this, Yu Jianglong suddenly thought of something and added, "By the way, speaking of the Yin Luo Galaxy... recently, there has been a remarkable talent from Yin Luo. He is so strong that he can even defeat an Astral God's avatar. If you have time, see if you can invite him to join our Yu Clan. If we have his help, your chances of inheriting Astral God Yin Luo's legacy will greatly increase.

"Even if we can't bring him into our family, we need to establish cooperation with him. At the very least, we should maintain a friendly relationship. I'll send you his information now."

A large amount of light projected from the Quasi-Divine Weapon, forming an image. "Look... this is the one, Li Pin. He happens to come from the Candle Light Star Ring where you are at... Oh? What a coincidence, he is even from the same Nebula as you. This is fate, isn't it?"

Looking at Li Pin's image, Yu Hanyan was stunned. "Li...Li Pin?"

Then, her eyes widened. "Defeated an Astral God's avatar!?"

"Oh? Do you know him? It makes sense, since you both belong to the same Nebula. If he has returned to Longze, you must have heard about him..."

Yu Jianglong said, quickly noticing the unusual emotion in Yu Hanyan. He paused slightly. "What's the matter?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

He quickly realized something, and his expression gradually became serious. "You don't mean to tell me that the person you mentioned just now is Li Pin, the Divine Being from the Longze Nebula, Gaian Civilization?"

"I... I..." Yu Hanyan stammered, her heart suddenly racing.

He defeated an Astral God's avatar!? He isn't just a Divine Being but a terrifying existence so powerful he could defeat an Astral God avatar?!

Yu Jianglong looked at the flustered Yu Hanyan before quickly turning his gaze to Yu Yu. "Speak up. What's going on here?"

Yu Yu was also in a state of shock.

It was one thing to be a Divine Being, but being a Divine Being who could defeat an Astral God's avatar was another matter altogether!

While a Divine Being might represent the ultimate power achievable in the material world, there were hundreds or even more people of a similar level in every star system!

On the other hand, a Divine Being who could defeat an Astral God's avatar had to have a Power Level of 170,000 to 180,000! An existence that powerful was among the strongest of Divine Beings. Such beings were extremely rare!

Unless an Astral God specifically sent their main battle avatar to intervene, ordinary avatars would be powerless against such a person.

While they couldn't be said to be invincible in the Material World, they were definitely top-notch existences!

At this moment, Yu Yu dared not hide the truth. She quickly explained how Li Pin had used the Ashen Council to establish authority, causing the Ashen Council to swear allegiance to Miss Yu Hanyan, who then requested that she take action against Li Pin.

After finishing, Yu Yu fearfully said, "Patriarch, this is my fault. I rashly represented Young Miss to go to the Gaian civilization to provoke Li Pin without proper investigation. I am willing to receive punishme—"

"Wait."

Before Yu Yu could finish speaking, Yu Jianglong suddenly said, "You mean he asked for one of our Yu Clan's Astral Gods to send an avatar, a combat-specialized avatar at that, to fight him? And the location can be outside the Yin Luo Galaxt?"

Yu Yu was anxious.

As for Yu Hanyan, realizing she had caused trouble, she had turned as quiet as a cicada in winter, not daring to hide anything. She meekly answered, "Yes."

She quickly added, "I thought earlier that he wanted to gain attention, so he hoped to ask you to send an avatar.... But now thinking about it carefully, he probably never intended to submit to our family...."

Suddenly, Yu Jianglong laughed. "Good! Good! Good! This is truly great! You guys have done very well!"
