"Who are you?" Lu Yin asked, confused.
"You probably haven't heard my name, but perhaps you've heard my title. Many people call me—the God's Hand." Lance spoke in a calm voice.
At the words "God's Hand," Lu Yin's scalp prickled. "The Ten Deciders' God's Hand?"
"Heh, looks like you've heard of me." Lance smiled faintly.
Lu Yin was shocked. He hadn't expected the Ten Deciders' God's Hand to contact him. The Ten Deciders stood high above everyone else—the most famous young powerbrokers in the entire universe, and the very embodiment of the younger generation taking power.
"Surprised that I contacted you?" Lance asked.
Lu Yin suppressed his shock. "Very. The Ten Deciders' names resound throughout the universe, but very few people are qualified to speak with them. I never expected to have this honor."
"Lu Yin, you're qualified." Lance's tone was solemn. "I watched the Greatest Competition. Your Stacked Power is quite impressive."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. "It still falls short of what you achieved back then."
"Are you challenging me?" Lance's voice remained calm, with a hint of amusement.
Lu Yin let out a breath. "I'd like to give it a try. I wonder if I can reach Thirty-fold Strength before breaking through to the Exploration Realm."
"With your abilities, you should be able to. Do you know why I contacted you?" Lance asked.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "I don't."
"Because you and I are alike." Lance's tone turned serious.
Lu Yin was surprised. "Alike?"
"There's no end to the path of Stacked Power. The Extreme Realm, Thirty-fold Strength, the Exploration Realm, Hundredfold Force—what comes after that? Thousand Layer Force? Ten Thousand Layer Force? There's no end to this path. Few people walk it. You and I are both among the best on it, so naturally, we're alike," Lance
