Lu Yin

**Lu Yin** (陆隐) is the main protagonist of **Star Odyssey** who had started his cultivation journey on a post-apocalyptic Earth with a semi-amnesiac memory.

## Introduction

“Lu” is one of the few Primeval Surnames which have been viewed antagonistically by the Human Domain. It is generally unknown why or when it had begun, but at some point, the universe had started to view those with the surname with hostile. After many eons, those with such surnames had either hide their names, or gained legal statuses through other means, such as being born a native within native planets, one such location is Earth.

It began few years ago before Lu Yin arrived on Earth, when someone had reported that an organization had been voluntarily sheltering a group with primeval surnames. The group escaped towards the Outerverse but is eventually captured, and trialed. With a part of the group captured; seventy two people had been prosecuted during the course of these events. Such matters would not have had much impact or much records due to the insignificant these events have happened across the universe, but just so happens Lu Yin is related to such events. With a mission, and a will to become stronger, he headed from Earth as a stepping s the Great Yu Empire, where it became the platform towards his growth in cultivation.

If Lu Yin was just an ordinary person, then such a matter would not have attracted any attention, but the development of Lu Yin was far from that; he rose in power while cultivating, held many statuses, earned many connections, and gained the reputation of unlimited potential future in cultivation. His journey seeks to find his past memories, and to find the person who sentenced the group to death: the Ten Arbiters.

## Personality

Lu Yin was an ambitious but rational minded person who use all the resources and connections around him to his advantage. Carrying the burden of recovering his memories, determined to becoming stronger, Lu Yin cultivated to catch up with the current generation's top youth, the Ten Arbiters who were the newest generation of youth who surpass all previous generations of youth with the help of the formcast model and support of the Hall of Honor.

Lu Yin was a money grub as those around him and know of him, understood his need for all the money which would make him happy, even though they don't know what the money was used for.

Lu Yin was primarily focused on just his own cultivation progress by joining one of the most elite school in the universe known as the Astral Combat Academy who were holding trials in the Outerverse. Lu Yin made many friends and allies along the way, he wasn't as interested in power or status. Due being at the wrong place at the wrong time, Lu Yin was severely injured, and tossed into Driftcharge Planet as white meat to be cannibalized resulting him almost dying there; while a member from the Daynight clan had been escorted out safely due to their status. After surviving such incident, he resolved himself to get many layers of identity as protection, while using such identities to further focus on becoming stronger. Lu Yin no longer wants to be an ant, who could be sacrificed; he wants to be the chess player not a chess piece in the those of power's board game. Something change within him, and he vowed to himself:

After such experience, he became more decisive, ruthless, sly, and had the talent to do anything to achieve his goals. Lu Yin won't mind blood being shredded against those who he deems as enemies, even initiating wars to progress his plans. Lu Yin never lets go of any opportunity he could find, and he knows how to make use of everything around him.

Lu Yin initially had no plans towards the Great Yu Empire other than the fact that he faked being the descendants of the Undying Zishan to legitimate his illegal surname. After the experience at Driftcharge Planet, with the Great Yu Empire losing the Undying Yushan, Lu Yin put on the Ring of Authority that allowed him to have the privilege to be a successor to the Great Yu Empire; it was the turning point of which Lu Yin began to gain more status and more power, furthering his ambition.

He ordered the Huo family and the Auna family that supports him to eliminate the distant relatives that were vying for the throne, and planted a seed of war into the Ross Empire that he could exploit in the future when the Great Yu Empire was stronger, showing his vision to plan ahead. Lu Yin also makes use of those around him that have caused him to be in a disadvantage position as this was shown when Lu Yin stopped Xueshan Auna from removing Jenny from the family book since it wouldn't help save his reputation. Instead, he makes Xueshan Auna into write a certificate that the Auna family does not agree to their wedding, allowing Lu Yin to have a reason to stop the wedding as well as binding the Auna family to the Great Yu Empire.

Although he gained the status and power from the Great Yu Empire, he only designated himself as the Royal Regent as he understood that he could not become the emperor of the Great Yu Empire as it belonged to Wendy Yushan and his respect towards Undying Yushan. Lu Yin desired the power only for protection and the resource needed to help him further progress in his cultivation.

For those that get to know Lu Yin, they understood that the thing that appeals to him the most was money. Lu Yin always laments on how he was broke due to the fact that his initate die ability was an endless money burning pit. When Starsibyl asked him the question of "How does one become strong." Lu Yin gave the response:

This response rendered Starsibyl confused and made Hai Dashao look down on him. No one really knows the fact that Lu Yin answered this due to the requirements of his die. When Madam Nalan had gifted Lu Yin, she directly gave him money since she knows that's what Lu Yin was the most happiest about. Everyone believes Lu Yin was a money grub, and Lu Yin prefers money due to the money being able to fuel Possession, and Enhancement of power vessels.

Despite being goal oriented, and plans long term ahead, as well as acts ruthlessly, Lu Yin does have a bottom-line and follows his principles. For those that are within his circle will be well treated. He will honor his commitments and spare those who are weaker than him, as long as they pose no threat or have no advantage which Lu Yin can gain.

When the Undying Yushan left two letters as well as two chips containing the Yu Secret Arts, he used one which was dedicated for him and left the remaining one for Wendy. Although the Yu Secret Arts was extremely valuable, and Lu Yin could have sold it or pocket for himself, he had instead gave it to Wendy because it was something that Undying Yushan had left behind for his daughter, and Lu Yin’s conscience would weigh too heavily on him if he secretly kept it for himself.  When it was assumed Captain Peach was killed in the war, Lu Yin would rather end the war which he almost could have won, just to confirm Peach's safety.

During a trip back to the Great Yu Empire, Lu Yin encountered an interplanetary war that was happening within the Great Yu Empire. He witnessed a businessman abandon over tens thousands of loose cultivators to die when their spaceship caught fire, and for the purpose of hiring these loose cultivators for interplanetary wars to just line the pockets of the businessmen. Lu Yin was infuriated, but had no one to blame due to these things being minor matters to be reported to him. He called on a court meeting, and passed a few decree to control the loose independent cultivators within the Great Yu Empire so they don't cause harm to the commoners and civilians, punish those that causes meaningless lose of life by these businessmen, as well as controlling the interplanetary wars within the Great Yu Empire. He had set up proper paths for people to progress so that the independent cultivators could focus their efforts on cultivation allocating resources fairly across the Empire, allowing these independent cultivators a goal and achievement rather than participate in the small-scale skirmishes.

### Lu Yin's Bottom line

It's not worth the sacrifice, but it should be.

The public had always believed that Lu Yin was a ruthless person who enjoyed warfare, and a ruthless ruler. Despite their prejudice, Lu Yin still treated those under him kindly and carefully protected the borders. He was a magnanimous person, which was why Wang Wen admired him and was willing to rely on him. Even though it was bad decision that could jeopardize the whole Great Eastern Alliance, Lu Yin had no qualms to bring the Great Eastern Alliance and force the Innerverse powerhouses to support the eastern weaves that the Sixth Mainland had abandoned to the invasion of the astral beasts. The slaughtering and destruction of common civilians of the eastern weaves by the astral beasts had broken Lu Yin's bottom line, and Lu Yin cared about those within his circle and the Fifth Mainland people themselves.

Those that cross Lu Yin's bottom line such as the astral beasts committing mass slaughtering of humans, or the actions of these corrupt businessmen and independent cultivators had violated Lu Yin’s principles which Lu Yin will defend even if it's wrong to. Although the Neohuman Alliance and Blackless God had tempted Lu Yin with their support, Lu Yin did not accept it as Lu Yin still regards himself as a human and won't do things that would betray humanity. When the Aeternals had learned that Lu Yin was part of the Lu family, they understood that Lu Yin's very existence would destabilize the Perennial World's four ruling power's control. They gave him accomplishments as Long Qi and allowed him to live, and assisted him back to the Fifth Mainland. Although Lu Yin understood that the Aeternal's plot, he won't allow the Aeternals to sit on the sidelines even if Lu Yin was targeting the four ruling powers as humanity cannot weaken when the Aeternals are the true enemies.

But despite being such a person, he is also willing to shoulder tremendous responsibilities and acts as a guiding light that will lead humanity forward. Everything that he does is for the sake of survival, and ultimately, he will do whatever it takes to ensure that humanity endures. Such a person is worth helping. He will never compromise his principles or his bottom line.

On the individual scale, those that know Lu Yin knows he keeps his words and is trustworthy as long as one are not an enemy or standing against him. Those that have helped Lu Yin, Lu Yin would not implicate them in his problems such as when Chang Wu a shop owner in Divine Venom City had helped Lu Yin in return Lu Yin had given him protection, and was angered when Chang Wu was implicated by association with helping Lu Yin. Those that are weaker than him, he will treat decently but he will not go out of his way to save others, if it's the result of a cultivator's way seeking risk and rewards.

When Lu Yin went to a hidden treasury with a descendant of the treasury, Lu Yin had taken most of the more useful treasures for himself. As a cultivator, Lu Yin had taken majority of what was useful in the treasury, but he had given the descendant some remaining inheritance and items for protection, as well as an invitation to seek shelter at the Great Eastern Alliance. The cultivation world was a cruel and other people might have killed her to take what she had, but she wasn't a threat to Lu Yin and Lu Yin had given items that she would need in exchange, showing Lu Yin's kindness towards others when he gained benefits.

Those under Lu Yin's control, he would not treat badly but he must firmly have a grasp on them being under his command. For example when San Liang, an overseer who had become one with the assistance of Wang Wen, questioned Lu Yin's involvement with the Sixth Mainland, Lu Yin told him that he had no right to question Lu Yin, and Lu Yin had the power give him the position, he also had the power to remove him from the position.

## Lu Yin's Origins

Lu Yin was a direct descendant of the Lu Family and his previous name was Lu Xiaoxuan. As a direct descendants of the Lu Family, Lu Yin had unlocked the innate gift of the Champions' Stage, a signature ability which those in the Perennial World feared.

### Seven Heroes

His nickname when he wants others to refer to him is "Seven." At first, he didn't know the reason why he preferred to be called the Seventh Brother, but he felt like it was the correct thing. On chapter 861 in a flashback memory; in the past when Lu Yin was a small child, there was a Big Sis Lu, and a Second Brother Lu, while Lu Yin was the third in the Lu family. When Lu Yin was getting bullied, their group of six protected Lu Yin, which the group got punished by their elders. The seven of them banded together to became sworn siblings, with being Lu Yin the youngest, Lu Yin was designated the Seventh Brother of the group. The group was known as the Seven Heroes and was strong enough to even comparable to the Nine Mountain and Eight Seas when it came to their potential and their cultivation strength.

### Exile of the Lu Family

The Lu Family controlled the Higher Realm and were the rulers of the Perennial World. The secondary organizations and factions under the Lu Family of the Perennial World consisting of the Celestial Frost Sect, Wang Family, Shenwu's Sky, and the White Dragon Clan had plotted the exile of the Lu Family during a celebratory occasion. During the festival in which all of the Lu family members gathered, the four ruling powers caused the White Dragon Rolls Over, pushing the entire Lu family towards the monsters, exiling them from the Perennial World.

Lu Xiaoxuan was able to somehow escaped from the Perennial World with his memory, and cultivation lost, and he had regressed in terms of age, and fell into the Fifth Mainland. There were many hints of the Perennial World, revealed during Lu Yin's attempt at the Stargazing Platform, someone who targeted Lu Yin with a cold gaze. A jade finger tore beyond the skies, causing Lu Yin to be filled with limited wrath, but when he opened his eyes, everything had returned to normal. This dream finger attack was from the Perennial World's Celestial Frost Sect, and the finger battle technique was the signature move of the Celestial Being Shows the Way.

### Appearance in the Cosmic Sea, Leon's Armada

After the events of the Perennial World which replaced the Lu Family, Lu Yin had lost his memories as Lu Xiaoxuan, and fell into the Fifth Mainland injured into the Cosmic Sea. The Highsage Leon patrolled the Cosmic Sea and Lu Yin was found within adrift in the Cosmic Sea. Lu Yin's injuries were cured by the Ghost Doc and Big Sis taken care of Lu Yin.

After being nurtured and accepted by the Leon's Armada, Big Sis had a fight with Leon Armada and her crew had left. During their journey out of the Cosmic Sea, they had been ambushed and attacked by the Ignition Crew, a delay leaving the Innerverse. The Ten Arbiters Council had tried all those with the surname “Lu” allowing seventy two people had perished during the course of these events.

### Seal

Lu Yin has a seal on his back, and was revealed that during every significant breakthrough for Lu Yin. A powerful and ancient multi-layered seal that suppressed his breakthroughs and if he fails he will suffer a life threatening backlash that grows with each failure to breakthrough but if he was successful in his breakthroughs, not only does his cultivation realm rise but also a drastic increase an development in current abilities and powers.

* During his breakthrough from Sentinel to Melder with the aid of the Headmaster of Astral-10 was Lu Yin able to break the first seal.The first seal unlocked his physique which rivaled if not surpassed the members of Mavis Family in terms of physical strength.
* The second seal appeared with his breakthrough from Limiteer to Explorer but with the unintentional assistance from an ancient Corpse King the second seal was broken. This seal unlocked a significant increase and development in Lu Yin's Domain.
* The third seal appeared with his breakthrough from Cruiser to Hunter but with the power of the Guardian Giant's bloodpool that also contained the blood of Progenitor Chen was the third seal broken which lead to a drastic increase an development in his physical strength, spiritual force, domain, and unlocking of his second innate gift the Champions' Stage.

## Lu Xiaoxuan

Lu Xiaoxuan was the direct descendant of the Lu family, and the previous life of Lu Yin.

As the direct descendant of the Lu family, he was well loved and well protected by those around him, with Lu Xiaoxuan being a part of the Seven Heroes and had potential to be compared to the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. He’s a cheerful person who likes to make friends, enjoy delicious food, and is always open and sincere with everyone. Lu Xiaoxuan of the past was an open-minded and righteous individual who fought against any injustices he found. He saved many people and took down many evil people.

Compared to Lu Yin at the same age, Lu Xiaoxuan followed the orthodox methods of the Lu family and trained in their techniques from childhood, progressing step by step while maintaining a firm foundation. Although he did use the Champions’ Stage and mastered all of the Lu family’s unique techniques, he never abandoned his attempts to create his own battle techniques. Finally, one day, he created Flipping the Sky, shocking the entire Perennial World and causing Progenitor Lu to show himself. The entirety of the Perennial World was brought together by this achievement, precisely because of how shocking it was.

Lu Xiaoxuan accomplished an unprecedented feat, as his technique was profound enough to be added to the Lu family’s collection of unique techniques for those beneath the Envoy realm. This was something that no one has ever managed to do in the past. Lu Xiaoxuan became a paragon that represented the pinnacle that could be reached within any given realm.

During the festive day of the Lu family, red flowers bloomed across the Perennial World and those of the Lu family attended the festival. The event end up as a turning point for the Lu family as they had been exiled off, and announced that the Lu family had betrayed humanity and been eliminated by them. That was the day that the four ruling powers entered the Higher Realm, and it was also the day that the Lu family disappeared. Bai Xian'er was part of the reason why the Lu family had been exiled from the Perennial World. Lu Xiaoxuan had managed to escape to the Fifth Mainland, with his memory’s disappeared, bloodline’s been sealed, foundation has been reformed, and innate gifts were returned to the beginning. Lu Xiaoxuan had essentially started over with a new life as Lu Yin.
