"You can ask the other assassins and see if anyone has heard of Fazi," Lu Yin said. He hadn't paid much attention to Fazi's identity at first, but after contacting Elder Lohar and chatting with Aden over the past two days, he finally understood what this identity meant in the Hall of Honor.
Fazi represented an inheritance, and there were only a few Fazi in the entire Hall of Honor. Any one of them had a great deal of authority, and even if the authority didn't belong to them, they could still use it. This was because the future of the Hall of Honor depended on Fazi.
Every upper echelon of the Hall of Honor had come from Fazi, which was why the Hall of Honor gave Fazi a lot of authority. For example, Fazi could take over a subordinate organization without being supervised by the Hall of Honor. This was just one of the basic privileges.
Just like the Ten Arbiters of the Innerverse, each of them had their own background, and each of them had their own power. No one dared to interfere, and no one dared to.
This was just Fazi's basic authority. Once Fazi became one of the Five Astral Children, his authority would no longer be limited to the Hall of Honor; he could even influence the entire universe.
Elsewhere, Starfox relayed Lu Yin's words to the black-masked assassin. At first, the assassin was confused, but he suddenly recalled something and immediately contacted Lu Yin.
Lu Yin hadn't expected anyone from Aegis to have heard of Fazi, as he had never even heard of this name before.
"I've only seen it in an ancient letter. The person who wrote it came from the Cosmic Sea, and he mentioned the Hall of Honor's methods. It's rumored that Fazi is the Hall of Honor's successor," the assassin said in a low voice.
Lu Yin was surprised. "You know quite a bit. That's right, I'm one of the Hall of Honor's methods. You can ask the Hall of Honor for confirmation."
"Alliance Leader Lu, are you serious?
You want Aegis to become a subordinate organization of the Hall of Honor without being supervised by Aegis, "the assassin asked, his tone fluctuating. This condition was obviously very tempting, especially for someone like him who had experienced the crisis of the assassin world. He understood the value of this condition.
Lu Yin replied, "Nominally, it's my personal subordinate organization, and only I have the authority to supervise it. Don't worry, we can sign a contract."
The assassin considered it for a while before saying, "Alright, I agree. As long as the Hall of Honor recognizes Aegis, then Alliance Leader Lu will be one of the top management members of Aegis."
If the black-masked assassin had been able to escape death and establish Aegis, then he was no fool. He needed the Hall of Honor to acknowledge their position before he was willing to allow Lu Yin to join them. This would also prove that Lu Yin really had a method.
Lu Yin naturally knew.
After ending the call with the black-masked assassin, he immediately contacted Elder Lohar.
Lu Yin's identity as Fazi had been recommended by Master Yuan, and Elder Lohar did not know about it. Master Yuan had not publicized it, and there was no need for him to do so. As long as Lu Yin went to the Neoverse's Hall of Honor, he would naturally have a way to prove himself.
However, Master Yuan had not expected Lu Yin to use Method's authority in the Outerverse.
When Elder Lohar asked Master Yuan for confirmation, Master Yuan felt a little helpless. "I've long heard that this little guy can't stand loneliness and is prone to causing trouble. Sure enough, it's true."
Elder Lohar laughed dryly. "He wants to pull Aegis into the Hall of Honor. It looks like he wants to borrow Aegis' strength to make a move on the various weaves of the Outerverse and unify the Outerverse."
Master Yuan was not surprised, as he had no idea what Aegis was. He had lived for too long, and many people and many things had changed. In his memories, the Outerverse had not been limited to just the Hall of Tai Mo, the Dark Phoenix Clan, and Myriad Thousand City. There had been many other powerful organizations, but they had all disappeared. As for Aegis, Master Yuan did not care about them at all.
"Unifying the Outerverse?
Interesting. That's good as well. A unified Outerverse can gather even more power, "Master Yuan said.
Elder Lohar was shocked as he watched Master Yuan's image disappear. He pondered for a long time before finally making his decision to fully support Lu Yin.
Not only had Master Yuan given Method's recommendation to Lu Yin, but he had also supported Lu Yin's goal of unifying the Outerverse. Elder Lohar could only imagine how shocking it would be when Lu Yin went to the Neoverse with his identity as the Master of the Outerverse.
Perhaps whether or not Elder Lohar would be able to return to the Neoverse would depend on Lu Yin.
Elder Lohar's gaze was resolute, and he immediately contacted Lu Yin. His tone was even more respectful than before, and it was completely different from how a powerhouse with a power level of over 300,000 would speak to an Explorer. Even Lu Yin was a little scared.
Elder Lohar personally issued an order, and as an elder of the Hall of Honor, he confirmed that Aegis was now a subordinate organization of the Hall of Honor, and its direct leader was Lu Yin.
The Hall of Honor was very efficient, and in less than half a day, Aegis's status had completely changed. It had gone from an Outerverse assassin and mercenary corporation to an organization of the Hall of Honor. Although Aegis's strength had not changed, its status was completely different.
Even if the Innerverse and Outerverse were connected, the Innerverse's powerful organizations would still need the Hall of Honor's permission if they wanted to act against Aegis.
When the black-masked assassin received the Hall of Honor's notification, he was stunned.
Back in the day, they had been hunted down by the entire universe because they had no backing or background. However, they had grasped too many assassination secrets, and they had even implicated some of the Innerverse's major figures. It was also because of those major figures' orders that the entire Outerverse's assassin world had been wiped clean.
Now that Aegis had risen once again, he was also worried that the same thing would happen again. He had not dared to reveal himself and had gone into hibernation not only because he wanted to live longer, but also because he was afraid that he would attract the attention of certain people.
But now, there was no need to be afraid. They were now members of the Hall of Honor, and no matter how powerful those major figures were, they would not dare to make a move against an organization like the Hall of Honor.
"Alliance Leader Lu, welcome to Aegis." The black-masked assassin's image appeared. His conversation with Lu Yin had not been through a screen, but now, his entire person appeared clearly on the screen.
The black-masked assassin's appearance was very ordinary, and his skin was a little pale. He was skinny, and if one did not pay attention, they would think that he was a scholar. Who would have thought that he was actually a terrifying assassin who had lived for tens of thousands of years and had founded Aegis?
After officially joining Aegis, Lu Yin learned about everyone in its first management team. Aside from Starfox, the black-masked assassin, and another assassin who looked like a child, there were only three people in total.
"When Aegis was first founded, there were five people, but now, there are only three of us," the black-masked assassin said calmly.
Starfox also appeared on the screen, and he looked at Lu Yin with some discomfort. He felt that this person's addition would change Aegis's identity.
As for the child assassin, he had been left at the border by the Hall of Honor to assist in the defense.
After learning about Aegis's full strength, Lu Yin was glad that he had not fought to the death. The black-masked assassin had a power level of over 300,000, and the child assassin had a power level of over 200,000. Starfox's power level could break through at any time and become an Enlighter.
Everything else aside, if the black-masked assassin had insisted on killing Lu Yin, then Lu Yin might not have been able to stop him.
Fortunately, it was still alright.
Aside from the three assassins in the first management team, Lu Yin could see the entire list of people in the second management team. At the same time, he could also access all of Aegis's assassination records over the past tens of thousands of years, as well as all of the people who had hired them. This was what Lu Yin needed the most.
"What do you want these records for?" Starfox was puzzled.
Lu Yin glanced at him. "I have authority. I want to use it, and I like it."
Starfox choked, and he immediately turned off the screen.
Lu Yin hurriedly went to find Hai Qiqi and transferred the authority that Aegis had given him to En Ya. "Use Aegis's information the same way you used Mafioso Planet's information back then. I want you to draw up a battle plan for this weave as quickly as possible."
En Ya was excited, as she saw the hope of unifying the Outerverse. "Yes, Your Highness."
It wasn't just Aegis's information, but Qian Yan's as well. En Ya's authority had grown tremendously, but Lu Yin still had a card up his sleeve: checks and balances. Huan Sha and Wendy Yushan both had their own ways of keeping En Ya's authority in check.
It wasn't that he didn't trust En Ya, but she had been recommended by Madam Nalan, and Lu Yin didn't know much about the Nalan family.
Of the current four major corporations, Lu Yin knew about Endless Borders, Amethyst Trading Company, and Aegis, but he didn't know anything about the Nalan family.
There was also Wei Rong, who didn't dare to show himself for the time being, and no one would dare to openly take him in. However, it was impossible for Wei Rong to give up on revenge.
Lu Yin had already communicated with Amethyst Trading Company that they would immediately report Wei Rong's whereabouts as soon as they learned of his whereabouts. Price wasn't an issue, as Lu Yin had the money.
Lu Yin boarded his spacecraft and headed towards the coordinates that Hai Qiqi had provided him.
The Outerverse was now peaceful, and even the pirates were gone.
Back then, Wei Rong had been worried that Lu Yin would use the pirates to infiltrate a central weave, so he had cleaned up the pirates there. Many of them had been eliminated, which could be considered a good deed.
Ten days later, just as Hai Qiqi was about to reach her limit, Lu Yin arrived at the astral cemetery at the border of the Endless Weave.
The astral cemetery was located east of the border between the Southern Weave and the Endless Weave, and it was still some distance away from the border that Mister Mu had pushed back. As far as the eye could see, there was cosmic trash everywhere, and no one had cleaned it up. This was the largest garbage dump in the Endless Weave, and there were countless strange things that had been thrown away by others.
There were many people exploring the outer perimeter, and rummaging through the trash seemed shameful, but there were hidden profits to be had.
However, that was only the outer perimeter, as the deeper one ventured, the more dangerous it became. There were many technological products that could explode at any moment, and there were also many strange cosmic lifeforms entrenched here.
Lu Yin looked around and saw the occasional flash of rune lines. There were space-exploring lifeforms in this area.
He really couldn't figure out how Hai Qiqi had managed to get here.
Not long after, Lu Yin saw her rune lines, and he was shocked to discover that this girl's power had increased by quite a bit.
The two had been separated for a very long time.
Lu Yin looked at her in amusement. "You must be very happy to see me."
Hai Qiqi nodded. "Very happy. Right, do you know how to lie?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Why do you ask?"
"Which eye of yours sees that I'm happy?" Hai Qiqi blinked.
Lu Yin choked and was speechless. He looked past Hai Qiqi and towards the Astral River in front of them.
The Astral River was still as magnificent as ever, and it was unknown how high or how deep it was. It separated the two universes.
"Where's the passage you mentioned?" Lu Yin asked.
Hai Qiqi had Lu Yin sit in a collapsible spacecraft with her, and they headed towards the Astral River.
