Just as everyone was busy trying to come up with a glorious image for Lu Yin, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a girl rushed in with a panicked expression. "Big Sis Ya, look at the internet!"
Xiao Ya immediately turned on her gadget. At the same time, countless people in the Outerverse saw the network and discovered a shocking secret.
On Zenyu Star, Lu Yin arrived at the space station, as he planned to head to Armament Weave. He wanted to personally monitor the battle. Even if Wei Rong really did have something up his sleeve, he wanted to be the first to know.
At that moment, Gavin, Garope, and the rest rushed over in a panic, "Your Highness, look at the network!"
Lu Yin's heart sank, and he immediately switched on his gadget. When he saw the internet, his expression changed drastically. He had never expected that Wei Rong would be using his secret.
The internet was flooded with information about Lu Yin's past. He had gone through Earth's trial, left Earth to participate in the Astral Combat Tournament, and so on. Any normal person would know all of this, but Wei Rong had not exposed all of this. Instead, he had exposed Lu Yin's experiences before he had gone to Earth, such as the trial of the Ten Arbiters and a piece of paper with the surname Lu.
A single piece of paper with the surname Lu and seventy-two lives. This was what Lu Yin cared about the most, and it was the driving force behind his cultivation. Now, the entire Outerverse knew about this.
Lu Yin's surname was not a legal primeval surname, and he had once been tried by the Ten Arbiters. A piece of paper with the surname Lu had been banished from the Innerverse, and he had only stayed on Earth for a year. More importantly, he had been tried by the Ten Arbiters, and his identity as a primeval surname was not legal.
The universe had a strong prejudice against primeval surnames, and anyone who did not have a legal identity with a primeval surname was like a rat crossing the street. This was especially true in the Innerverse. Although it was not as exaggerated as being killed, they would still be expelled if they were discovered.
Back then, Big Sis and the others had been banished from the Innerverse because his surname was illegal.
Although the Outerverse was not as extreme as the Innerverse, there was still a strong prejudice against people with illegal primeval surnames.
More importantly, the Hall of Honor was prejudiced against people with illegal primeval surnames.
Everyone knew that Lu Yin was backed by the Hall of Honor. Now that his identity had been exposed, would the Hall of Honor still protect him?
Was it still possible to protect him?
Even if the Hall of Honor wanted to protect Lu Yin, now that the entire Outerverse knew about it, how could the Hall of Honor protect him with so many people watching?
What would those in the Outerverse who were fighting for him think?
What would the various powers of the Great Eastern Alliance think?
What would the alliance army think?
How could a person with a primeval surname without a legal identity become the Alliance Leader?
What right do they have to start a war?
This was equivalent to a thief wanting to become an emperor. How could the nobles and scholars agree to this? How could they agree to this?
Lu Yin had never expected that Wei Rong would actually reveal this secret.
Up until now, he had never told anyone about this secret. As for hiding it, it was impossible for him to do so. If someone wanted to investigate it, they would eventually be able to find out. However, no one would have thought about it from this perspective. His identity had always been very normal, and no one had bothered to investigate this matter. He had never expected that Wei Rong would use him today.
The battle in Armament Weave came to a sudden halt, and the disciples of Tai Mo Temple stopped attacking. They had received orders from the Temple Master to stay put and observe the situation.
Within Armament Weave, many people from various great powers of the Innerverse suddenly appeared and joined the Wei family's side to fight against the Great Eastern Alliance's allied forces.
Some of these people came from the Daynight clan, some from the Northline Flowzone, and some from the Xun family. Their goal was simple: expel Lu Yin and restore the universe's attitude towards the primeval surnames.
The Innerverse wasn't something that the Outerverse's powers could compare to, and any random disciple from the Innerverse was not weak. These people were far more intimidating than the Dark Phoenix Clan, even if they didn't have a powerhouse on the level of Hugh Phinhas.
This represented the Innerverse's attitude.
Countless people looked at Zenyu Star, waiting for the Hall of Honor's response.
Wei Rong was very satisfied, as he had discovered this secret after leaving Sourcepeak Planet. If he wanted to deal with someone, he had to understand everything about them. This was a habit of his.
He had never revealed this secret, nor had he told anyone about it. He had been waiting for this moment, where he wanted Lu Yin to reach the peak and then fall to his death.
Only when the entire universe focused on this battle could this news immediately spread throughout the Outerverse and force the Hall of Honor to give up on Lu Yin. If they had to choose someone to unify the Outerverse, then Wei Rong would be the most suitable candidate.
Of course, Wei Rong was also gambling, and he was gambling on the influence that the illegal primeval surnames would have on the Hall of Honor. Just as he had said to Yi Feng, it was a gamble.
Madam Nalan looked at the sky with a complicated expression. She had discovered this secret a long time ago, but she had never mentioned it. Now, she had almost forgotten about it. If she had known that Wei Rong would discover this secret, then she would have told Lu Yin so that he could be prepared. But now, it was too late.
No one knew what the downsides of having an illegal primeval surname were, but there was one thing that was certain: the entire universe had to reject those with primeval surnames. This was a memory that flowed in the blood of those with primeval surnames.
The Hall of Honor was especially hostile towards those with illegal primeval surnames, and Lu Yin would not be able to get past this hurdle.
Lu Yin calmly looked at the network as he returned to King Zishan's palace.
Garope, Gavin, and the rest did not say a word. They just bowed with heavy expressions.
This sudden blow had greatly affected them. Once Lu Yin's illegal status was confirmed, then everything would be over for him, and he might even face the Hall of Honor's trial. At this moment, there was an Enlighter from the Hall of Honor on Zenyu Star. Their faces were pale; was the Great Yu Empire's glory destined to be short-lived?
Wendy Yushan looked at the introductions on the network. She did not care about Lu Yin's primeval surname, as it had not been a day or two since Lu Yin's surname was Lu. What she cared about was Lu Yin's past. When he had been brought back to Zenyu Star, the Great Yu Empire had investigated his origins, but they had not been able to find anything. Who would have thought that he would be in the Innerverse, and he would even be tried by the Ten Arbiters?
Ku Wei looked at the introductions online with interest. This war was very interesting, and there were many variations. It was not just a battle of armies, but also of schemes. That Wei Rong was really something, and he had actually managed to force the war to such an extent.
Wei Rong had given Lu Yin a classic lesson. Wars were not fought on the battlefield, but outside of it as well.
Generally speaking, the secrets that Wei Rong had exposed were enough to make him lose everything he had. Even if he did not die, there would be no chance for him to make a comeback. However, that was before Elder Lohar had seen the blood-colored bell. Was he afraid now?
Lu Yin calmly contacted Elder Lohar, and soon, Elder Lohar's image appeared.
"Elder, I've run into trouble," Lu Yin said respectfully.
Elder Lohar looked at Lu Yin strangely. "How does Alliance Head Lu wish to respond to the news on the internet?"
He was probing, as he did not know what Lu Yin's identity was. However, the news on the internet was definitely fake, as how could someone with an illegal primeval surname possess a warrant from the head inquisitor?
Lu Yin replied, "I would like to ask Elder to help me clarify the legitimacy of my identity."
"How?" Elder Lohar asked.
Lu Yin straightened his back. "If Elder doesn't know how to clarify, perhaps this might be able to help you." Lu Yin then took out the blood-colored bell.
Elder Lohar's expression changed when he saw the blood-colored bell, and he blurted out, "You know what this is, don't you?
You don't have amnesia. "
Lu Yin replied in a low voice, "I indeed have amnesia, and there are some things that I don't remember. However, there are some things that I have a vague impression of, such as …" He then pointed at the blood-colored bell.
Elder Lohar hurriedly replied, "Alright, I understand. I'll help Alliance Head Lu clarify things."
Lu Yin nodded. "Thank you, Elder." He then put the bell away.
Elder Lohar then disconnected the call.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief, as the lies were becoming more and more obvious. However, if he did not do this, then he would not have been able to maintain his current status.
Now that the war in Armament Weave had ended, many people's attitudes towards him had changed. He had an illegal primeval surname, and this identity had to continue hiding. The only one that could help him was the Hall of Honor, which stood on the side of humanity.
The entire universe's prejudice against illegal primeval surnames came from the Hall of Honor, and only they could help him.
Elder Lohar was very efficient, or rather, the Hall of Honor's influence was too great. An hour later, all of Lu Yin's secrets had been removed from the internet. At the same time, many influential people had appeared to support Lu Yin, proving that he did not have an illegal primeval surname. Many powers had also been affected, and the winds had suddenly changed.
The Hall of Honor would not publicly announce this on the internet, but they had used their influence to forcefully reverse the situation that had been disadvantageous to Lu Yin.
Wei Rong had originally planned to unite the various powers of the Innerverse to launch a counterattack against the Great Eastern Alliance after Lu Yin's fall from grace. At the very least, he wanted to eliminate his old enemy, the Six-Fingered Tribe. However, the sudden change in the winds had caught him off guard, and when he confirmed it, his heart sank. He had lost the gamble, but Lu Yin still had a backup plan.
In the current Outerverse, the only power that could influence everyone was the Hall of Honor. Although the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, the Hall of Honor's power had been greatly reduced, but its influence was still terrifying. Wei Rong had not expected the Hall of Honor's support for Lu Yin to be so firm that they did not even care about his identity.
He was certain that what he had investigated was true, but the Hall of Honor had still acted on Lu Yin's behalf, which meant that Lu Yin had already been prepared for this.
Wei Rong immediately ordered the Wei family to withdraw from the homeworld. At the same time, he made a call and said something, but he was not as confident as he had been before.
Wei Rong put down his gadget and bitterly said, "I was too hasty. I thought that I had a strategy in place, but I discovered that the enemy is far more powerful than I imagined. Whether or not I can protect the Wei family will depend on the will of the heavens."
The various powers of the Innerverse immediately left Armament Weave after the change in the winds. They did not even say goodbye, and they left even more decisively than the Umbral Butterfly Tribe.
After two days of rest, the Great Eastern Alliance's allied forces restarted the war. This time, everyone was certain that the outcome would not change. Wei Rong had used all of his methods, and if he could still change the outcome at this time, then it would no longer be a matter of methods, but rather fate.
Lu Yin boarded a spacecraft that headed towards Armament Weave. He did not believe that Wei Rong still had a backup plan, and he needed to destroy the Wei family and Wei Rong.
The Wei family was like the last fireworks in space that were about to disappear.
The allied forces spent three days to break through the Wei family's final defenses. Yi Feng led a group of Lockbreakers loyal to him to resist, but they were still defeated. The allied forces were already very close to the Wei family's homeworld.
Inside Myriad Thousand City, Qiong Xi'er sighed. "They were defeated in the end. They couldn't stop the momentum."
