After a moment of silence, Bai Wangyuan spoke up again, though his tone had softened. "If you don't tell me, I can simply ask Xian'er. This matter cannot be kept hidden."

"As you wish," Lu Yin said.

Bai Wangyuan stared at Lu Yin. "You will not harm Xian'er, and the four ruling powers will not touch you before you become a Semi-Progenitor. Will you agree to this?"

It was impossible for Lu Yin to truly fight against the four ruling powers. Even if everything else was disregarded, it was important to remember that the Aeternals were always watching. Aeternus was aware of everything that happened among the humans. Lu Yin was aware that Corpse God had attacked the Higher Realm at a critical moment, which had forced Xia Shenji to stop attacking Lu Yin. That incident had greatly increased Lu Yin’s fear of Aeternus.

Aeternus possessed an unimaginable foundation, and there was nothing that Lu Yin could do against a power that had already completely destroyed four Mainlands.

"Additionally, I need you to release the surviving vassals of the Lu family, including the people from Star Alliance and Crimson Garden. In exchange, I will release the entire army that you sent against me, as well as everyone else from the four ruling powers that I hold prisoner," Lu Yin said.

While Lu Yin was negotiating an agreement with Bai Wangyuan, the Seven Skygods had just gathered outside the Starfall Sea.

"Shaman God, your plan has failed," Blackless God stated in an indifferent tone.
