Background
Lu Yin's known memories initially extended only nine years: time spent with Big Sister and others, a period of ordinary life on Earth, and nearly seven years of cultivation. He could not recall anything from before those years. 751
He emerged on Earth during the Doomsday era, where Zhou Shan recognized that he had killed an alien and defeated a Snow Maiden, then invited him to join Xing Camp as a Commander of Ten Thousand. 5 His early achievements brought him into conflict with forces tied to the Great Yu Empire, including the Ona Family. 54
His identity was later revealed to be Lu Xiao Xuan, a legendary figure of the Lu Family. The revelation restored the Lu Family's standing while making him a target of the Four Sides Heavenly Balance. 1546 1549
Personality
Lu Yin is direct, decisive, and unwilling to waste words. When assuming authority in the Great Yu Empire, he openly declared himself acting regent and demanded objections immediately. 292
He combines confidence in battle with adaptability. He studies opponents for weaknesses, as when he identified the Tian Hou's true form as a vortex and used that insight to bypass its apparent invincibility in single combat. 326
His political methods are often ruthless. He used a coordinated night of assassinations to eliminate more than three hundred enemy generals and spread fear through the Central Territory Coalition. 913 Despite this, he places value on loyalty and humanity, condemning Yue Ting for abandoning his daughter for personal gain. 3551
He relentlessly pursues strength, resources, and knowledge. This ranges from spending heavily to improve equipment and cultivation methods to seeking unfamiliar systems of power across other space-times. 438 1099 2589
