After hearing Yunying Mebis's words, Lu Yin said, "I never understood why the Mebis Clan, who didn't seem like merchants, could control the Fifth Continent's economy. Was it all thanks to a single Semi-Progenitor?"
Before Yunying Mebis could speak, Lu Yin continued, "Now I understand." He stared at her. "You only look like you're not merchants. In truth, you're more like merchants than anyone else."
Yunying Mebis looked confused. "Alliance Leader Lu, what do you mean by that? It sounds like you've misunderstood something about my Mebis Clan."
Lu Yin sneered. "Don't pretend, Senior. Ancient God made it perfectly clear: your Mebis Clan is my Lu Family's purse. And," he pointed down at his feet, "this Ancestor Turtle was also left to you by my Lu Family. I only just realized why you were so eager to form an alliance with me back then. It wasn't an alliance with the Eastern Frontier Alliance, but with me. You wanted to change the nature of our relationship."
"You're clearly my Lu Family's purse, yet you formed an alliance with me, a direct descendant of the Lu Family. You've calculated everything pretty carefully."
Yunying Mebis coughed a few times and said gently, "Alliance Leader Lu, thinking that way means you've fallen into Ancient God's trap. He's trying to drive a wedge between us."
Lu Yin scoffed. "With humanity facing disaster and on the brink of annihilation, does he really need to drive a wedge between us?"
"That's the Eternal Clan for you—the cunning Eternal Clan," Yunying Mebis said earnestly.
Lu Yin snorted. If Ancient God hadn't told him, he still wouldn't have known he'd been manipulated without realizing it. No wonder they'd been so generous. They'd given him five billion cubic meters of Star Energy Marrow the moment they met. Five billion! At
