Primeval Surnames

## Introduction

**Lu (陆),** **Liu (刘),** **Wang (王)**, **Xia (夏)**, and **Bai (白)** were the Primeval Surnames which the Hall of Honor had designated to have a legitimized status in order to survive and live in the Human Domain. These surnames were the primary families which used to exist on the Fifth Mainland but left for the Perennial World.

## Information

The Hall of Honor are the ones who made the rule that it is illegal for other organizations to have Primeval Surnames in their ranks, and violators will be killed without question. All people with primeval surnames must obtain a legal status, or else they will be excommunicated and killed. It wasn't revealed the reason as to why the Hall of Honor have designated the primeval surnames as illegal for the Human Domain but all powers in the Human Domain accept this ruling. Every powerful sect has documented records that orders them to reject those with primeval surnames, and no matter how old they are, they all have these records. Nobody can give an explicit reason for why this rule must be upheld, but everyone knows that this is something they must do.

It was due to this rule, Lu Yin had to go to Earth as the only form of way to legitimize his name and identity, as those of primeval surname that are born within the Human Domain have the ability to be able to be registered.

## History and Perennial World

The Primeval Surname of Lu, Liu, Wang, Xia, and Bai all belonged to the Perennial World family organization which had left the Fifth Mainland and migrated to the Mother Tree after the Fifth Mainland had lost their war against the Sixth Mainland. The Lu Family were the ones who once ruled the Fifth Mainland, the Liu Family who controlled the Sword Monument, the Wang Family, the Xia Family of Shenwu's Sky, and the Bai Family of the Celestial Frost Sect.

The Hall of Honor was established by Arch-Elder Zen, and although he felt gratitude towards Lu Tianyi for giving him some inheritance to establish the Hall of Honor, Arch-Elder Zen did not trust the primeval surname as well as those from the Lu family as there was a possibility of a traitor being among those that are from the primeval surname. This mistrust was due to the abandonment but also due to how the Fifth Mainland lost the war was through theAeternals that have had human traitors that helped the Aeternals.

The Perennial World had treated the Fifth Mainland as a deserted place with no inheritance and called them the Forsaken Land; while the Fifth Mainland treated the Perennial World with hatred for abandoning their homeland.

The Wang Family has connections towards the Technocracy which leads from the Perennial to the Fifth Mainland through the New Corridor.
