Ah Da replied, "I haven't thought about it yet. This tribulation was an accident, so I'll think about it after helping Mister Lu return to the Outerverse."
Lu Yin nodded. "That's fine. I'm familiar with the head inquisitor, so let me know if you need any help."
Ah Da felt strange. In the eyes of everyone in the Interstellar Arbitration Center, the head inquisitors were mysterious, dignified, and inviolable. They represented justice, judgment, and faith, but why did Lu Yin make it sound like the head inquisitor was an uncle next door?
Ah Da suddenly thought of the head inquisitor's warrant that Lu Yin had. Could this person be the head inquisitor's illegitimate son?
Before the tribulation, Ah Da's attitude towards Lu Yin had been lukewarm, but after the tribulation, his attitude had completely changed. Lu Yin had basically saved his life, and he now looked at Lu Yin with even more respect.
Lu Yin was also a member of the Hall of Honor, and he hadn't used this identity. When he revealed it, Ah Da looked at him even more affectionately.
Ah Da had broken through to become an Emissary, and this was a good topic for discussion in the Aurora Stronghold.
That night, Wan Laoer was taught a lesson again, and in his anger, he wanted to race with Zhi Hao and challenge Lu Yin. Unfortunately, Lu Yin was no longer interested in racing. He was more interested in Wan Laoer's father.
When Wan Laoer stormed out of the house, his father, Wan Gong, sighed. "Useless thing." He shook his head and was about to return to his room when the lights in the hall suddenly lit up. Wan Gong felt strange and looked towards the living room.
"Wan Gong, let's talk," a voice called out. Wan Gong's expression changed, and he subconsciously tried to contact the outside world.
There had always been people who wanted to steal the Aurora Corporation's technology, and the technicians all had bodyguards who were not weak.
"Don't waste your energy. I've already made preparations since I was able to come."
Wan Gong felt that the voice sounded familiar, and he slowly walked downstairs. He saw Lu Yin sitting on the sofa, leisurely looking at some blueprints.
The blueprints were just ordinary spacecraft parts, and Wan Gong didn't care. He stared at Lu Yin. "Alliance Leader Lu, why are you visiting so late at night?
If it's about the miniature armor, you can rest assured that it will be ready in two days. "
Lu Yin placed the blueprints on the table, and beside them was a tattered old shirt.
Wan Gong's face sank when he saw the shirt.
Lu Yin picked it up and flipped open the collar, revealing the bloodstain of the Hidden Earth Organization. "Wan Gong, can you explain this symbol?"
Wan Gong step forward, puzzled..
That's just blood. "
Lu Yin looked at Wan Gong, "You, or your ancestors, should be from Earth."
Wan Gong's fingers trembled, and his gaze sharpened. "What Earth?
Never heard of it. "
Lu Yin's lips curled up, "Since that's the case, it's fine even if President Zhi discovers the significance of this symbol. I've already sent someone to report to the higher-ups of Aurora about Second Bro Wan wearing clothes with this symbol. Wan Gong, think of a way to explain this to them."
Wan Gong's expression changed drastically. "Alliance Lord Lu, what is the meaning of this?"
Lu Yin replied, "Nothing much. I just want to have an open discussion."
"There's nothing to talk about. So what if my ancestors came from the Hidden Earth Realm?
The Aurora Stronghold won't care. "
"I didn't say 'Hidden Earth.' I said 'Earth,'" Lu Yin replied.
Wan Gong replied in a low voice, "The Aurora Stronghold doesn't care about Earth's Hidden Earth. To them, it's just an insignificant small organization."
"Maybe, but if you don't.

Who knows if I'm related to Earth Invisibility?
I'm from Earth, and if someone sees us talking in the middle of the night, think of a way to explain this to President Zhi. "
Wan Gong frowned, "What are you trying to do, Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin looked at Wan Gong, "You betrayed Earth Invisibility."
"I didn't. I admit that my ancestor did come from Earth, but that was a long time ago. That shirt isn't mine, it's my ancestor's. We didn't betray Earth Invisibility, but we've already settled down in the Aurora Stronghold. We don't want to have anything to do with Earth Invisibility."
"Why?"
"This is my home," Wan Gong said in a low voice.
Lu Yin understood, "Alright, I understand." With that, he prepared to leave.
Wan Gong had no value, and the only reason Lu Yin had sought him out was to learn more about Earth Invisibility. Since Wan Gong had already left Earth Invisibility, and he hadn't joined Earth Invisibility himself, but rather his ancestor, there was no need for him to continue pestering him. Lu Yin wasn't from Earth Invisibility, and it had nothing to do with him.
Wan Gong didn't seem to believe that Lu Yin would leave just like that, "What do you want, Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin replied, "Nothing much. Since you've decided to leave Earth Invisibility, then live your life well."
"You didn't tell anyone about me, did you?" Wan Gong asked anxiously.
Lu Yin waved a hand. "Don't worry." With that, he left.
Wan Gong looked at the empty living room and the shirt with a complicated expression.
It had been many years since he had heard of that name, and now it had appeared again. Back then, his ancestor had been valued by the Aurora Stronghold due to his technical talent. He had then coveted the Aurora Stronghold's luxuries and didn't want to suffer with Earth Invisibility. He had then pursued the Primeval Surname Alliance, but he had paid a huge price. It wasn't as simple as leaving Earth Invisibility, but rather betrayal.
A true betrayal. Everyone who knew that his ancestor was from Earth Invisibility had been silenced. More than ten people from Earth Invisibility had been killed, and that was a blood debt.
Earth Invisibility didn't know about his ancestor's betrayal, which had allowed his bloodline to remain stable for so many years. Wan Gong didn't plan on getting involved with Earth Invisibility, but why had Lu Yin come looking for him today?
How had Lu Yin discovered this?
Wan Gong looked at the shirt on the table and the bloodstain. Blood debt, blood debt, blood debt, blood debt, blood debt. Wan Gong's heart sank, and his face paled. Lu Yin was definitely here for revenge.
What was there to live a good life? What awaited him was despairing revenge.
Wan Gong wasn't afraid of death, but he didn't want his son to die with him. His eldest son's premature death had left him in despair, and he couldn't allow anything to happen to his second son.
He didn't doubt Lu Yin's ability. Even President Zhi had personally received this person, so dealing with him would be too easy.
No, he definitely couldn't allow Lu Yin to take revenge on him. That was his ancestor's debt, so why should he pay for it?
Wan Gong immediately walked out. He couldn't let a tragedy happen again.
Not long after Lu Yin returned to his residence, Wan Gong arrived.
He found it strange, especially since Wan Gong's face looked as if his son had died.
Wan Gong immediately knelt down. "Alliance Master Lu, I beg you to let my son go. I'll do anything you want. Please, I'll pay for what you owe me."
Lu Yin was stunned, but then his eyes flickered. He grunted and casually sat down. "How?"
When Wan Gong heard Lu Yin's words, he was certain that Lu Yin was here for revenge. "I will repay the lives that my ancestors owed to Earth Hidden. Our family has been rooted in Aurora Stronghold for many years, and we've gained their trust. I've also participated in the core research of Aurora Spaceship Company, so all I can do is take control.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
I'll tell you everything I know about the Aurora Stronghold, and I'll tell you everything I know. "
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Core technology?
What technology? "
Wan Gong hesitated for a moment.
Lu Yin snorted coldly.
Wan Gong's heart sank, and his gaze hardened. "Micro-array technology."
Lu Yin didn't understand. "Explain in detail."
Wan Gong exhaled, as there was nothing he wanted to hide now that he had mentioned Micro-array technology. "Ever since the Aurora Corporation was established, a tenth of its annual profits disappeared without exception. It was a huge expenditure, and many people were curious as to where it went, but no one knew. That was until one day, when my skills and background were recognized, and I was allowed to participate in a research project called Micro-array technology. That sum of money was invested in this project."
Lu Yin was shocked. The Aurora Corporation's annual profits were enormous, and it wasn't any less than the Great Eastern Alliance's. How much resources would a tenth of the Aurora Corporation's profits be?
It was simply unimaginable.
"Micro-array technology takes everything that can be seen in the universe, including objects, life forms, and even attacks. Everything tangible and intangible can be stored into a small device that can be activated by anyone. This is the core and goal of Micro-array technology. It sounds similar to cosmic rings, but cosmic rings can only store objects and not life forms or attacks. Micro-arrays, on the other hand, can do that.
"No matter how incredible the idea is, the Aurora Corporation has always believed that it can succeed, and they've invested a huge amount of money into it. Now that the project has reached a bottleneck, they'll continue to invest without a single cent less, or even more."
Lu Yin leaned forward, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't recall what it was. "Continue."
Wan Gong continued, "Micro-array technology is the Aurora Corporation's core project. If it succeeds, it will change the entire human race, and it can be used in daily life and even in war. Think about it, a person's attack can be stored in a device that can be fired at any time. What would that be like?"
Lu Yin's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered the Splitting Skies Array.
The Splitting Skies Array was a sourcebox array that could be used at any time. Right, there were also power vessels, but those could only be created by special people. Micro-array technology, on the other hand, could be used by everyone, including the average person.
What would it be like for a normal person to use a Splitting Skies Array and fire it, instantly destroying a planet?
Lu Yin shook his head. "This technology isn't practical."
"I know, but the Aurora Spaceship Company is certain it can be done. The micro-armor and the energy vortex decomposer are all derived from this technology. The Aurora Spaceship Company makes money by manufacturing spaceships, but in essence, they're investing in researching this technology. Over the years, countless geniuses have been brought to the Aurora Stronghold and invested in this research. Those people died of old age and couldn't leave the Aurora Stronghold, and I'm no different," Wan Gong said.
Lu Yin took out the Splitting Skies Array and tossed it to Wan Gong. "Take a look at this."
Back when he had used the Heaven Splitting Formation's four moves, he hadn't thrown it away.
Wan Gong took the Splitting Skies Array and took a closer look. His expression changed, and he looked at Lu Yin in disbelief. "Alliance Leader Lu, where did you get this?"
"Is it useful?" Lu Yin was interested.
Wan Gong was excited. "Yes, it's very useful. This is basically a model for micro-array technology, and it might even lead to a breakthrough."
