Sage of Humanity

When new cultivators arrived in Banlan, it was not difficult to obtain an Alliance Guard Token, as outside cultivators often ended up here accidentally.

When Lu Ye first arrived, he easily completed the registration process under the guidance of Kang Xing and the other two, and obtained his own Alliance Guard Token.

"Name?"

"Li Taibai!"

"Strength?"

"9th Dao."

"..."

After verifying his human race origin and a few simple questions and answers, the cultivator in charge took a drop of Lu Ye's Essence Blood and a trace of his Psyche Force.

When Lu Ye walked out of the Hall of Battle Merits, there was a new authority waist tablet hanging at his waist.

However, since he hadn't exchanged imprints with anyone yet, this waist tablet was just a symbol of the alliance guard and couldn't be used to contact others.

After exiting the Hall of Battle Merits, Lu Ye fell into contemplation.

Now that he was back within the territories of the human race, what should he do next?

The war zone where the Shaochong Battle Planet was located was a small war zone, not even comparable to Blue Water from before, and staying here wouldn't offer much benefit.

So, it was best to move to another war zone.

Huang Quan seemed like a good option, or he could seek out Zi Ying, who as a Dao Fusion had always valued him highly, though Lu Ye was unsure if he could gain her trust.

Given his past experiences, earning the trust of others wouldn't be easy. If Zi Ying didn't trust him, Lu Ye knew he wouldn't be a match for her.

If that were the case, going to see Zi Ying would be like walking into a trap.

The situation was somewhat difficult.

After pondering for a while, Lu Ye found it hard to make a decision.

Ultimately, he decided to head to Huang Quan's battle planet. For now, the only Dao Fusion he could interact with was Zi Ying. Once there, if he could ensure his own safety, he could find an opportunity to reveal some information to her as a test.

Having made up his mind, Lu Ye leaped forward.

Meanwhile, when Lu Ye was still hesitating, back on the home planet of the human race's battle alliance,

In a hidden location, a massive sphere of light hung suspended mid-air like a small sun, slowly rotating. Inside the light sphere, countless tiny points of light shimmered densely, beyond counting.

Each tiny point of light corresponded to a cultivator within the battle alliance.

Both the human race and the Giant Race had suffered from the dark seeds laid by the Insect and Blood Races, and not just once. In response to this, for nearly a thousand years, Dao Fusion experts of the human race have set up some special and secret arrangements.

This light sphere was the core of that arrangement.

It was intricately linked to the Alliance Guard Tokens of all human race battle alliance cultivators.

This was a secret known only to the very top Dao Fusion experts.

And the creation of the Alliance Guard Tokens required collecting blood and Psyche Force, which is why it originated.

In other words, every cultivator with an Alliance Guard Token could be found within this light sphere, even if they had died, the record would remain.

Beside the light sphere, two venerable elders sat cross-legged, an old man and an old woman, both with hair white like snow, evidently living for who knows how many years.

They were like statues, without any sign of life.

Until a certain moment, when a tiny point of light within the sphere flickered suddenly.

The old man slightly opened his eyes, Mental Consciousness stirring, probing closely, his eyebrows arching a little.

"Lu Ye?" The old woman also sensed it, a bit puzzled: "He's just an Enter the Path, why is there a special mark?"

It was precisely because a special mark had been made that the record corresponding to Lu Ye in the light sphere showed an anomaly; otherwise, an Enter the Path wouldn't need their attention.

The old man replied, "This Enter the Path is somewhat special. The Yan family's giant ant was obtained by him, and the As-Close-As-Siblings Dao Runes also came from his hand." He clearly knew more about Lu Ye.

"Oh?" The old woman had obviously also heard about the human race acquiring another giant ant and the As-Close-As-Siblings Dao Runes but was unaware that both were associated with Lu Ye.

"Previously, he was targeted; the Insect and Blood Races did not hesitate to expose a Dao Fusion dark seed just to capture him, clearly coveting those Dao Runes, but..." The old man frowned, puzzled. The Insect and Blood Races must really value this Lu Ye if they went to such lengths. In that case, why would they let him slip out of their control? Furthermore, this lad actually returned to the human race's territory and even obtained a new waist tablet.

The Dao Fusion of the Insect and Blood Races couldn't be so foolish; they openly abducted an Enter the Path, so why let him go?

The old woman's voice was cold and severe: "Those Dao Runes are said to be exceedingly superior, the Military Affairs Office has been secretly researching them and has made some progress, yet news like this can still leak out. It seems we have a dark seed on our home planet too."

"I have a lead," the old man said. The transfer of information always has a source; the person thought they had concealed it very well, but in reality, the old man had been watching them. He hadn't immediately acted to remove them for a reason.

As the old man and old woman talked, an order was silently transmitted.

Lu Ye had no idea that his second acquisition of an Alliance Guard Token would expose his whereabouts.

On the Shaochong Battle Planet, almost at the instant Lu Ye made up his mind to leave, a colossal pressure descended from the sky, and then a majestic voice sounded, "Everyone stay where you are, do not move recklessly; monitor your surroundings, any violators must be reported immediately!"

Dao Fusion!

This is a small battle zone much inferior to Blue Water, so only one Dao Fusion governor is stationed there and usually stays in the Governor's Residence. Yet today, for some reason, he suddenly appeared and seemed heavily prepared.

Lu Ye's figure halted; under such circumstances, it was inconvenient for him to leave. He merely speculated whether something had changed here, so he remained at ease, waiting in place.

There were also many cultivators beside him, each appearing as if they had been immobilized, rigidly standing where they were.

A figure suddenly descended in front of the Hall of Battle Merits, a short, chubby man, none other than Yan Hai, the Dao Fusion governor of the Shaochong Battle Planet.

He swept his gaze around, his brows slightly furrowing. Seeing nothing unusual, he stepped into the Hall of Battle Merits.

Just moments earlier, he had received an order, so he rushed from the Governor's Residence to this location without delay.

A few breaths later, he walked out of the Hall of Battle Merits, accompanied by someone — the manager who had helped Lu Ye register earlier.

He glanced around and abruptly pointed in Lu Ye's direction, saying, "Sir, it's him!"

The previously disinterested Lu Ye immediately sensed something amiss upon seeing this.

Was he exposed?

How could it be!

He had specifically disguised himself; even if an acquaintance stood right before him, they couldn't possibly recognize him. How did he expose himself so easily? It made no sense at all.

Little did he know, his records, left on the home planet, perfectly matched with the blood and Psyche Force he collected today, instantly alerting others.

Mere disguise and name change weren't enough to conceal him.

But with the Dao Fusion governor's sharp gaze suddenly directed at him, Lu Ye realized he had indeed been exposed, no matter how delusional he was.

Where did it go wrong?

Even until this moment, he was holding onto a thread of hope.

Unexpectedly, the Dao Fusion governor gave him a low shout: "Lu Ye, surrender and be captured. Considering your merits to the battle alliance, I won't make it hard for you. Just obediently follow me back to the home planet."

The order he received was to capture him alive. Because Lu Ye had demonstrated his value long ago, even if he's already turned traitor to the Insect and Blood Races, unless absolutely necessary, they didn't want to kill him. Keeping him alive might still prove useful.

A torrent of thoughts flashed through Lu Ye's mind, and he suddenly smiled: "Sir, have you mistaken me for someone else?"

Yan Hai shook his head slowly, stepping toward Lu Ye, and said plainly: "Why the struggle?"

Realizing the situation, Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh, and his figure swept upwards, soaring into the sky.

Under no circumstances could he return to the home planet with Yan Hai; there, powerful figures were as numerous as oxen. Truly going back meant he would likely remain a lifelong prisoner.

"What nerve!" Yan Hai coldly snorted, standing his ground without moving a muscle. His hand reached out to grasp toward Lu Ye's direction.

With his strength, an Enter the Path couldn't possibly resist!

That's what he thought, but his expression changed in the next moment, for Lu Ye wasn't disturbed by him at all. He leaped away like a nimble hare.

How could it be? Yan Hai was extremely surprised. He hadn't used much power, but still, it was not something an Enter the Path could evade.

This Lu Ye... was indeed extraordinary!

Enraged, he hurriedly pursued. Two figures, one ahead of the other, dashed out of Shaochong Battle Planet, leaving behind a group of battle alliance cultivators looking at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

In the stellar space chase, Yan Hai's expression grew increasingly grim, because he realized Lu Ye's speed was astonishingly swift; he couldn't catch up in a short time.

He was known for his cautious nature; thus, he specifically refined two levels of Dao Runes that enhanced speed during his initial selection.

Under the premise of equal strength, his speed was not just impressive; it was definitely among the best.

Yet now, an Enter the Path was matching his speed.

His speed was indeed slightly superior, but merely enough to gradually close the distance with Lu Ye. Catching up would take two to four hours at least.

This was utterly baffling, making it hard to comprehend.

He then realized something in an instant.

If this Lu Ye isn't an Enter the Path but a Dao Fusion on par with himself?

Upon a closer perception, he found the situation wasn't as he imagined, for Lu Ye's Dao force was very dissipated, lacking the characteristics of a Dao Fusion.

This kind of dissipation cannot be feigned.

Yan Hai's thoughts became a bit jumbled.

He thought it would be an easy capture, yet the situation turned awkward. In a split second, Yan Hai transmitted: "Lu Ye, do not resist stubbornly. Return to the home planet with me. If your conscience is clear, you'll be unharmed!"

Lu Ye only considered it as air passing his ears. He could indeed have a clear conscience, but it depends on whether those Dao Fusion cultivators on the home planet would believe him.

For him, Yan Hai's persuasion was meaningless!

Originally, he planned to find an opportunity to contact Zi Ying on Huang Quan's battle planet, but now the plan was thwarted. Furthermore, with his identity exposed and a Dao Fusion pursuing him, getting rid of the pursuit was not easy.

Could it be that he could only return to the Dark Butterfly side?

Lu Ye was reluctant to return; he had managed to shake off this guy, and returning would mean the Dark Butterfly would be much stricter with him, definitely keeping a tighter watch to prevent him from wandering around.
