Lu Yin had never merged with anyone for so long—not even Saint Bai, back then.
He had seen far too many of Long Ke's memories, learning things ordinary people could never know. He had also come to understand Long Ke far too well.
But none of that mattered as much as the Star Alliance. He had learned how to break the restrictions, but unfortunately, the restrictions inside the Star Alliance members, which were similar to the Cage Technique, could only be undone through the combined efforts of the Four Sides Heavenly Balance. Long Ke knew only one quarter of the method.
That was a rule the Four Sides Heavenly Balance had established to prevent any one family from controlling the Star Alliance on its own.
No matter how they had come under control, everyone in the Star Alliance was a Star Envoy. One or two Star Envoys weren't frightening, but ten or twenty were terrifying. Even a single family of the Four Sides Heavenly Balance didn't have that many Star Envoys.
Whoever controlled the Star Alliance alone would hold enough power among Star Envoys to crush every other faction. The Four Sides Heavenly Balance couldn't allow that.
Since no one family could control it alone, its control was divided into four parts. This not only prevented any single family from taking over the Star Alliance, but also stopped anyone from rescuing its members. The Four Sides Heavenly Balance had never underestimated the Lu Family Remnants.
