Chapter 1055 (1/2)

Lu Yin frowned. “They don’t have the ability to influence the Hall of Honor or the Lockbreaker Society.”

“The current problem is not about whether or not you can influence either of those two organizations, but rather to find a way to prove the legality of your primeval surname. You’re from Leon’s Armada, so have them find a way to take care of this.”

“That’s going to be very difficult. In the past, we went to Earth precisely because we needed a place with legal primeval surnames.”

“Back then, a bunch of you left Leon’s Armada. Otherwise, there would have been no need to go to Earth. Chesspiece Bro, don’t underestimate those pirates. Their methods are different from regular people’s.”

After Lu Yin ended his call with Wang Wen, he immediately reached out to Uncle Reuben’s group. They had spoken with each other once before, and they were no longer overly concerned with people eavesdropping on their calls. Since Leon’s Armada had already revealed its support for Lu Yin whenever he encountered trouble in the past, anybody who was sensible enough would have noticed that there was a close relationship between Lu Yin and Leon’s Armada. Thus, there was no longer any reason to hide anything.

Lu Yin repeated the issue to Uncle Reuben, who instantly hung up after saying just two words to Lu Yin. “Hold on.”

About two hours later, Lu Yin received a message from Tutor Wusheng stating that the issue with Lu Yin’s primeval surname had been resolved.

Lu Yin’s eyes went wide; how were they this efficient?

Lu Yin asked Tutor Wusheng how the matter had been resolved, and the man simply responded that he did not know either. He had merely received a notification from the Hall of Honor concerning the legality of Lu Yin’s primeval surname.

Lu Yin was left speechless, as this was simply too fast, especially since this had gone all the way to the Hall of Honor.

Was Leon’s Armada that influential?

“Uncle Reuben, you guys can even move the Hall of Honor?” Lu Yin asked in disbelief.

Uncle Reuben’s hoarse voice sounded from the other end of the call, “Nope.”

“Then how did you prove the legality of my surname?” Lu Yin was curious.

Uncle Reuben replied, “If it’s real, then it’s real, and nobody needs to falsify anything. Your surname was legal to begin with, so nobody can frame you.”

Lu Yin was left speechless. Other people had never framed him, as he truly did have an illegal surname. Thus, why did it sound so wrong for such words to come from a pirate’s mouth?

However, Lu Yin had to admit that it was quite refreshing.

“Uncle, Nightking Zhenwu has accused me of being a traitor to the Fifth Mainland, and he’s gotten the Hall of Honor to revoke my status as an Honor Chosen to prevent me from participating in the contest at the Astral Tower. Do you have any methods to take care of this?” Lu Yin asked expectantly.

Uncle Reuben answered extremely straightforwardly, “We would have done that a long time ago if we could.”

“Don’t you guys have some connection with the upper echelon of the Hall of Honor?” Lu Yin felt puzzled.

Uncle Reuben helplessly responded, “Our path is not as broad as yours. You can beg Yuan Shi to act, but we can’t reach that high.”

“Then just how did you resolve the legal status of my surname?” Lu Yin could not understand this bit.

“I’ve already told you—real means real.” Uncle Reuben then hung up.

Lu Yin fell silent as he stared at his gadget. Everything had been resolved just like that?

Ku Wei watched from the side, and Lu Yin did not scold him.

Ku Wei had grasped the general gist of the situation, and when he realized that Lu Yin was being attacked by public opinion, he grew eager. “Your Highness, should I contact my family to help you?”

Lu Yin jumped in fright. “Don’t joke around!”

If the Ku family helped Lu Yin, then they would actually be more of a hindrance than a help. It was likely that a considerable portion of people in the Hall of Honor would instantly throw their support behind Nightking Zhenwu in that case.

Ku Wei had hit a snag right away, so he pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Now that the issue with Lu Yin’s primeval surname had been resolved, the most important thing for him to deal with was the matter concerning the collapse of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society.

Wei Rong had been the one to orchestrate everything, as he had dreamed of pioneering a new era where he dealt with the colossal organizations of the Innerverse and even the Neoverse.

In truth, Lu Yin somewhat respected Wei Rong’s boldness and ability, but he also disapproved of the methods that Wei Rong had employed.

Although Wei Rong was intelligent and very cunning, he was also greatly restricted by his vision.

He had believed that causing the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to collapse would allow the other organizations in the Outerverse to develop in a manner where they dealt with the other colossal organizations like the Mavis Bank or Aurora Enterprises. However, he simply did not understand how monstrous these powers were. On top of that, Wei Rong had disregarded the Hall of Honor.

However, Lu Yin had similarly overlooked the Hall of Honor before the Innerverse and Outerverse’s separation.

No matter if one considered the Mavis Bank, Aurora Enterprises, Shamrock Enterprises, or other such organizations, all of them had old monsters with power levels in the several hundred thousands. The Outerverse Lockbreaker Society was no different as they had President Geoffrey. However, he had coincidentally been in the Innerverse during the separation. Otherwise, no matter how much Wei Rong schemed, he would have only faced his own downfall if he had plotted against the society.

The collapse of Sourcepeak Planet had been an unexpected event, and not only had Wei Rong contributed to the event, but the Neohuman Alliance had also intervened. And, of course, so too had Lu Yin.

With the Lockbreaker Society’s headquarters pursuing this matter and blaming things on Lu Yin, it would be rather difficult for him to come away clean.

Actually, if he simply handed Wei Rong over, the entire matter concerning Sourcepeak Planet would be evaded. However, if he did that, who would be willing to follow Lu Yin in the future?

He had originally wanted to have Saul deal with this matter and bear the majority of the burden. However, now that the Daynight clan members were making moves in the upper levels of the Lockbreaker Society, the situation had become much more complicated.

The planets streaked by as the spacecraft continued on towards Zenyu Star.

Lu Yin quietly muttered to himself, deep in thought. Tutor Wusheng was in the Lockbreaker  Society, protecting him, and Lu Yin’s role in the events had been rather small. He had also specifically led the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society to Frostwave Weave, which should logically be considered a contribution to the society. However, that depended on how the society’s upper levels interpreted things.
