Lin Yu finally connected with Long Shuang.
Due to the vast distance, Lin Yu's consciousness attached to Long Shuang was unstable, flickering like a dying flame, threatening to sever the connection at any moment.
He glanced at Long Shuang's condition and, finding him merely asleep from exhaustion, breathed a sigh of relief.
Long Shuang was his carefully placed spy. If something were to go wrong, he would have to painstakingly find and possess a new body, which would be too troublesome.
However, his consciousness could only observe Long Shuang's bedroom. The style of this room alone gave him much to contemplate.
He saw a water-blue wooden bedroom, exuding a sense of exquisite elegance. Its style was reminiscent of modern decoration, yet it possessed a hint of exotic beauty.
"From the decor of the bedroom, one can tell that the civilization of the alien beast realm is highly developed. However, there are no technological items in this room, suggesting they are not pursuing a technological path."
Lin Yu observed for a while, intending to withdraw and wait for Long Shuang to wake up for a more detailed inquiry. At this moment, Long Shuang stirred.
He seemed to sense something, murmuring, "Why do I feel like someone is watching me?"
This sensation made him dare not relax for an instant. He quickly gathered his thoughts and employed his outstanding acting skills.
Not only did his sigh of weariness perfectly mimic the original body's, but even the way he turned over was exactly the same.
Seeing this, Lin Yu inwardly marveled at the man's incredible acting.
"Cough! Cough!!"
Lin Yu deliberately coughed a few times.
Hearing the cough, Long Shuang's expression shifted from one of alertness to cautious inquiry, "Big Brother, is that you?"
"It is I! Your perception is truly sharp, you can detect me!"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's voice, Long Shuang rejoiced. He had not expected Lin Yu to be able to connect with him across the barriers of worlds.
Setting aside the barriers between worlds, the sheer distance alone was a monumental obstacle.
Lin Yu's ability to contact him was completely unexpected.
"Big Brother, my intuition is just that sensitive, it's innate."
As he said this, he puffed out his chest with pride, for he knew that Lin Fan did not possess such an ability.
Lin Yu chuckled, "Alright, no more idle chat. It's not easy for me to contact you, and I fear the connection might break if something unexpected happens. Do you have any intelligence?"
"Big Brother, I'll package the information and send it to you."
"The distance is too great, and the network speed is poor. Tell me the important parts."
Although Lin Yu could connect with him, his consciousness was flickering, as if it might break contact at any moment.
Long Shuang took a deep breath and said,
"Alright then. I've received new intelligence. The Wind God Dragon Realm plans to set their sights on our human race as their next target for extermination. It's estimated that a full-scale war will commence in the next few days. Oh, right, the Wind God Dragon Realm is the name of the alien beast world."
Lin Yu's heart leaped at this news.
The situation he feared most had come to pass.
The alien beast realm was immensely powerful. Upon entering Blue Star, they had split into dozens of groups, and now, after annihilating numerous weaker alien races, they had also coerced many into submission.
Their strength had not diminished; it had increased.
Regarding the current situation of this alien beast race, despite reading the news daily, he did not know much.
"I didn't expect them to attack humanity so soon!" Lin Yu said with concern.
Long Shuang said indignantly, "Big Brother, the reason they are attacking humanity is because we are the weakest among the remaining races. They are picking on the softest target."
Lin Yu felt a surge of anger.
"Hmph, they think we are weak. When the battle begins, they will be greatly surprised!"
"Big Brother, is there anything you need me to do?"
"No need to do anything extra. Continue to gather all important intelligence. I will connect with you every three days!"
"Understood, Big Brother!"
They chatted for a while longer, but Lin Yu was already feeling fatigued. He quickly severed the connection.
Instantly, his consciousness was pulled back to his main body. This sudden shift in consciousness caused a sharp pain in Lin Yu's forehead.
He rubbed his brow, groaning in discomfort.
"It seems I can't link for too long in the future!"
"What about this latest news?"
"How can I inform the higher-ups?"
Lin Yu looked up at the window. Night had fallen.
There was no moon tonight, only the city lights shining with brilliant radiance, illuminating a section of the world.
Awakened individuals walked on the streets, creating an image of calm before a great calamity.
"What should I do?"
"If I tell them directly, I'll expose myself. If I don't, and humanity loses, that's something I cannot tolerate."
"Who should I tell?"
As Lin Yu pondered this, his wristband rang.
He opened the wristband and saw it was his eldest disciple calling. A thought flickered in his mind.
He clicked to answer.
Eldest Disciple: "Little Junior Brother, are there any divine artifacts in the secret realm?"
Lin Yu: "What do you mean by divine artifacts?"
Eldest Disciple: "Who knows? When they opened the secret realm, an aura of divinity wafted over, so we predicted there might be divine artifacts. Whether there are any, who can say?"
Lin Yu: "How would I know? However, I did obtain some important intelligence in the secret realm."
Eldest Disciple: "What important intelligence? Tell your eldest brother, and I'll help you apply for military merit!"
Lin Yu: "No need, no need. I don't want to be too conspicuous yet."
Eldest Disciple: "Good. Caution leads to a long life. Tell me the intelligence, and I'll relay it to Teacher for him to judge its authenticity."
Thinking of Senior Sword God, Lin Yu's mind conjured the image of that cold figure.
He hadn't seen him for a long time.
Lin Yu fabricated a source for the intelligence, saying, "I learned in the secret realm that the alien beast race plans to target our human race next. Based on the timing, they should launch a war of extermination against us within the next three days."
As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, the eldest disciple fell silent for a long moment.
Then, his voice lowered as he asked, "Is the news confirmed?"
Lin Yu: "It's highly likely to be true. I learned a soul technique called Soul Searching in the secret realm, which allows one to search the memories of living beings. This information was obtained through such means."
The Chuyun Secret Realm and humanity had established a strategic partnership. The exchange between the two forces was simple: Blue Star humans would allow Chuyun humans to use the Awakened Divine Platform to awaken their talents, and in return, Chuyun humans would share their soul technique cultivation methods.
Among these was the Soul Searching technique.
As the eldest disciple of the Supreme Academy, he had also heard such news. Sword God had also sent him a message, intending to request the soul technique cultivation methods from the Inner Court to pass on to his two disciples.
He hadn't expected Lin Yu to have already mastered a soul technique.
One had to admit, this fellow was truly a genius. He had heard that soul techniques were incredibly difficult to cultivate.
He felt both admiration and awe, and at the same time, he believed a large part of this intelligence.
Lin Yu: "Eldest Brother, I'm not sure how to handle this matter and didn't dare to tell anyone else. What do you think should be done?"
Eldest Disciple: "This intelligence is extremely important. Keep your phone on at all times. I will go and tell Teacher!"
