Lu Yin/Relationships

## Introduction

Over the course of Lu Yin's journey, Lu Yin has particular relationships whether it be loose friendships, leadership and subordinate or cooperative relationships with other cultivators and people. Some Lu Yin value more that other but they play key roles in helping Lu Yin progress.

## Close Relationships

**Mister Mu -** Mister Mu was Lu Yin's first and only teacher that had assisted Lu Yin throughout his cultivation journey. Lu Yin had to show Mister Mu his destiny, and Mister Mu had assisted Lu Yin into enhancing his physical body to the extreme. Many times Mister Mu had saved Lu Yin by the given jade to summon him, or gave him advice before leaving. When Lu Yin was lost due to feeling inferior to Lu Xiaoxuan and having no cultivation path of his own compared to the geniuses that had created their own methods such as Progenitor Chen, or Lu Xiaoxuan, or when Lu Yin felt like he is lagging behind due to being too caught up with politics, Mister Mu had given Lu Yin advice; Cultivation is not solely for him alone. The reason why humans are different from the Aeternals is because of the connections to each other. Even if Progenitor Chen fought against the universe on his own and lived a lonely life, he still fought to protect humanity. Life and death are both mysteries. Everything that Lu Yin does will end up becoming an opportunity that will return, possibly far in the future.

Lu Yin treats Mister Mu as a fatherly figure, that had guided him through his growth.

**Arch-Elder Zen -** Arch-Elder Zen was the true powerhouse and controller of the Hall of Honor, which made him the direct person who lead the Human Domain. Arch-Elder Zen appreciates Lu Yin and his growth in the Human Domain/Fifth Mainland, and allows Lu Yin to grow his influence from the Outerverse into the Innerverse and more. He learned of Lu Yin's relationship to Chief Justice as well as Lu Yin being Mister Mu's apprentice, which contributed to Arch-Elder Zen's tolerance of Lu Yin.

Through finding out that Lu Yin was Lu Xiaoxuan, was part of the primeval surnames and from the same Lu Family that had been from the Perennial World and abandoned the Fifth Mainland, Arch-Elder Zen had dampen his support for Lu Yin as he did not want to see humanity suffer from the infighting which Lu Yin would bring once the Perennial World fought against the Fifth Mainland in order to reach Lu Yin. Arch-Elder Zen tried to reduce Lu Yin's influence by attempting to remove the Overseers which Lu Yin controlled, but unfortunately Lu Yin had too much power already. When the Astral Beast breached past the Ironblood Weave and slaughtered civilians and innocent human population, Lu Yin knew it was not worth defending but he brought the Eastern Weave to defend those in the Outerverse because Lu Yin didn't want to abandon them. Lu Yin exclaimed to Arch-Elder Zen, "It's not worth the sacrifice, but it should be. Because I am human!" which finally released Arch-Elder Zen's prejudice against Lu Yin and understood that Lu Yin cared for the Fifth Mainland more than anyone else and willing to die for it. The Arch-Elder Zen who represents the Fifth Mainland will fully support Lu Yin from this point on.

**Ming Yan -** Ming Yan was Lu Yin's first love interest during his mission into the Shenwu Continent where Lu Yin had gazed upon Ming Yan's beauty and innocence. Lu Yin was a weak cultivator and step by step Lu Yin was able to grow and establish his connections enough to meet Ming Yan and promised to be together once Lu Yin was strong enough. Lu Yin progressed faster than anticipated and the changes of the Shenwu Continent had resulted in Ming Yan to take on the role as the Empress which further burden Ming Yan. Blackless God had poisoned Ming Yan with the Vitality Poison which Ming Yan was saved through the assistance of Mister Mu which split Ming Yan into two personalities, regular Ming Yan and white-haired Ming Yan. Lu Yin still loved regular Ming Yan and understood that although white-haired Ming Yan was more ruthless and cold, she still was the same person and Lu Yin accepted her (although difficult due to her being very distant). Ming Yan exited the Shenwu Continent in order to find a place to assist Lu Yin and managed to take over the Black Streets of the Neoverse.

## Friendships

### Earth/Great Yu Empire

**Earthlings** - Lu Yin has a soft spot for when it comes to those that treated him well, such as Peach and those that came to the Great Yu Academy with him such as the Earthlings Bai Xue or Zhang Dingtian. He recognizes them, and treats them well when he meets him. As friendship at the early stages of Earth and the Great Yu Empire, Lu Yin would rather quit the war in order to guarantee Peach's safety, and crash Zi Rong's wedding in order to free Bia Xue. Xu San managed to reach the Sixth Mainland, and although they don't interact as much anymore with Lu Yin respecting Xu San's independence to thrive in the Sixth Mainland, Xu San still leaves a safe route to Lu Yin, still referring him as Boss just in case which Lu Yin accepts.

### Astral-10

**Astral-10 Tutors** - Lu Yin started his journey at the Astral-10 academy and has a friendly relationship to those that were at the development stage of Lu Yin being at the Academy. The headmaster alongside the tutors helped Lu Yin grow from the beginning stages of Earth to the Limiter realm. The Headmaster help break his seal that allowed Lu Yin to reach the Melder realm.

**Classmates** - Lu Yin has a friendly relation with fellow classmates such as Lulu and Xia Luo as they visited Earth and followed Lu Yin to join the Astral-10. Although it seems they are are on good terms, Lu Yin knows Silver had a connection to the Neohuman Alliance and with Xia Luo does not like the aura which Silver gives. Other classmates such as Big and Small Pao Lu Yin has cordial relationships with.

### Ten Arbiters

**Lan Si -** Lan Si was the precursor and the Ten Arbiter youth which Lu Yin heard of his accomplishments the most as Lu Yin stepped up in cultivation. Lu Yin walked the same path as Lan Si and they cultivate the body and physical strength. After defeating Lan Si, Lu Yin had mostly taken Lan Si's identity of being the physical powerful one of the Ten Arbiters, eventually surpassing all the younger generation peers. Lan Si had brought the rest of the Grayweed Continent dojo cultivators to join the Great Eastern Alliance.

**Wen Sansi -** Wen Sansi was the first Arbiter which Lu Yin had encountered and experience the vast difference in power between them. Wen Sansi had a generally favorable impression of Lu Yin as he grew, since Wendy Yushan was under Wen Sansi's jurisdiction and had protected Lu Yin a few times during the Daosource Sect ruin fights. They are on fine terms with each other but not as close.

**Ling Gong -** Ling Gong did not have a great relation with Lu Yin at first, since Ling Gong was demanding of Lu Yin to assist her at the Daosource Sect ruins and Lu Yin had misinterpreted Wendy Yushan's friendship with Ling Gong. After discovering Ling Gong was a cute smaller girl, Lu Yin liked to tease Ling Gong (much to her annoyance) and treated her more friendly as she was Wendy's friend.

### Others

**Yuan Shi -** Yuan Shi was the first powerhouse with a million power level that Lu Yin encountered, and was the person in charge of protection of the Outerverse from the other Domains. Yuan Shi is the direct superior to Elder Lohar and Elder Daggs and appreciated Lu Yin and his contribution towards the defenses against the Technocracy and Sixth Mainland's invasion against the Endless Weave. When Lu Yin tried to form the Great Eastern Alliance, Yuan Shi encouraged Lu Yin to complete the mission as it would mean a more united Outerverse that can defend itself better. Yuan Shi understood that Lu Yin valued humanity and gave his Honored Chosen role to Lu Yin, allowing him to be the fourth Honored Chosen of the Hall of Honor. Lu Yin understood Yuan Shi's mentality as Yuan Shi was the first powerhouse that fully trusted and supported Lu Yin. When Yuan Shi asked if Lu Yin had allied himself with the Sixth Mainland, Lu Yin denied it which Yuan Shi accepted, because Yuan Shi believed in Lu Yin. Yuan Shi stayed and willing to be commanded by Lu Yin when the Great Eastern Alliance participated in their defense against the Astral Beast invasion even though it was a bad decision.

**Hui Kong -** When Lu Yin was severely injured by Nightking Zhenwu, and drifted into the Technocracy, Hui Kong found Lu Yin and formed a brotherly bond together and treated each other as comrades, carefree and brotherly. Hui Kong lead Lu Yin out of the Technocracy and as well as fighting off the Envoy realm experts that came from the Perennial World in order to capture and kill Lu Yin.

**Ghost Monkey -** An astral beast that forced itself to be tamed by Lu Yin when Lu Yin was about to kill him during the battle against the Astral Beast Domain at the Erudite Flowzone. Ghost Monkey had more knowledge than he should have know, and Lu Yin had spent a long time cultivating together alongside Ghost Monkey. Ghost Monkey saved Lu Yin on many occasions, provided input and knowledge (which he claimed he was an archeologist) that helped Lu Yin (such as the location of the Third Nightking at the Profound Void Realm). Although Lu Yin didn't fully trust Ghost Monkey as he held too many secrets, Ghost Monkey eventually opened up to Lu Yin and told he was created by Progenitor Wushang.

**Madam Nalan** - Madam Nalan was a chance encounter which Lu Yin had been saved by her as Lu Yin had drifted off into space by an attack. Lu Yin had a more friendly interactions when it came to Madam Nalan, as Madam Nalan was the first to support Lu Yin financial and as a small backer to Lu Yin and the Great Yu Empire. In return, Lu Yin protected the Nalan Family during the Outerverse's separation from the Innerverse.

## Familial

**Wendy Yushan** - Lu Yin has a complicated relationship when it comes to Wendy Yushan. When Lu Yin impersonated someone from the Zishan family, he was engaged to Wendy Yushan due to the family relationship, but the engagement was canceled by Bazeer, causing Lu Yin to be humiliated. After Lu Yin had gotten strong enough to defend his honor, he manage to be within Wendy's radar. With the disappearance of the Undying Yushan and the turmoil of the Great Yu Empire, Lu Yin became the Royal Reagent of the Great Yu Empire as he did not want to be restricted to being the emperor of the Great Yu Empire as he felt that Wendy deserved the throne (even though both didn't want it). Lu Yin gave Wendy Yushan the Yu Secret Arts even though Lu Yin could have kept it secretly because Undying Yushan's last wish and gift to his daughter.

Lu Yin had expanded and protected the Great Yu Empire and formed the Great Eastern Alliance which overshadowed the Great Yu Empire but Lu Yin still did not take the seat from the Great Yu Empire and would still wait for Wendy to take the throne. Although they were technically engaged, both have moved passed that point and Wendy treats Lu Yin as the only existing family as does Lu Yin. They might not like each other in a relationship type of way, but they treat each other as relatives.

**Leon's Armada -** Leon's Armada had saved Lu Yin after his previous life of Lu Xiaoxuan was sealed away, and Lu Yin fell into the Cosmic Sea. At the Leon's Armada they treat Lu Yin as a family, and gave Lu Yin the feeling of home. Lu Yin is very much afraid of Big Sis as she was the one who took care of Lu Yin the most. Highsage Leon acted more brash personality though he mostly solves problem through force.

## Subordinates

**Wang Wen** - Wang Wen was from the Ironblood Weave and was a tactician that was great at coming up plans that are broad and plans ahead. Lu Yin had made friends with Wang Wen in the Ironblood Weave and invited him to join the Great Eastern Alliance when the Outerverse got isolated from the Innerverse. Wang Wen set conditions of requiring a certain number of weaves before joining which Lu Yin had managed to complete, thus Wang Wen joins Lu Yin's group. Wang Wen is Lu Yin's thinktank and when there is a situation or a very troublesome decision-making that requires options, Wang Wen gives Lu Yin the correct choices or plans further ahead to strength the layout (such as the Great Eastern Alliance entering the Innerverse) for the long term.

**Wei Rong -** Unlike Wang Wen, Wei Rong was Lu Yin's main opponent when it came to the establishment of the Great Eastern Alliance when the Outerverse was separated. Due to carelessness Wei Rong had been the spark which triggered the invasion of the Technocracy and the Sixth Mainland to the Endless Weave. Wei Rong had joined Lu Yin's party after he admitted defeat and acts as a subordinate more than a friend compared to Wang Wen. Lu Yin has checks and balance in place for Wei Rong just in case Wei Rong has any future plans of betrayal. Wei Rong has a very active scheming mind, and specializes in planning schemes and underhand methods, playing at the hearts of the enemies.

**Qiong Xi'er** - Qiong Xi'er was part of the Million City and the Tyrannical Weave, one of the most wealthiest organizations of the Outerverse. They had controlled a mobile fortress that had the power of and Envoy level attack. Qiong Xi'er joined the Great Eastern Alliance and manages the financial aspects of the Great Eastern Alliance. When entering the Innerverse, the first step was to slowly integrate into the economics of the Innerverse through trades and routes. Qiong Xi'er was able to fend off the Shamrock Enterprise's financial attacks at the pharmaceutical aspect and counter attack as Qiong Xi'er focused on the livelihood elements of economics such as food, shelter, and clothing which could compete against the Shamprock Enterprise.

**En Ya** - En Ya was Shui Chuanxiao's subordinate and with Shui Chuanxiao imprisoned at Gaia's Swamp, En Ya joined the Great Yu Empire as part of the Lu Ministry and then had some partial control over the Great Eastern Alliance's army. En Ya's only request was as Lu Yin grew more influential to help get Shui Chuanxiao out of Gaia's Swamp.

**Shui Chuanxiao** - He had allowed the Endless Weave to collapse to the Technocracy, resulting in the deaths and capture over half of the Endless Weave, but was a strategic way in order to establish the CyNet communication across the Human Domain. He had been imprisoned at the Gaia's Swamp as a result but was freed in a prison riot, and brought out by Lu Yin. Shui Chuanxiao joined the Great Eastern Alliance and re-established the frameworks of the armies which existed. Shui Chuanxiao was a commander and a military General which he lead the Great Eastern Alliance against the Astral Beast's invasion after the Sixth Mainland had abandoned it.
