Lin Rui did not try to hold them back. First, because he and his apprentice could contact each other anytime using the smart biological chip, and second, because Luo Wangshu was leading a battlefield deep in the Abyss with millions of troops under her command and indeed couldn't be away for long.
Third, because he had already prepared an alternate identity for Luo Wangshu four months ago.
The technology to create alternate identities for Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators is very difficult. Fortunately, the East Asia Science Academy has a rich accumulation in this area, but they cannot solve the 'spirit and body integration' issue.
Lin Rui paid a price to obtain the complete Ninth Realm alternate identity cultivation technology, and it was precisely by relying on this technology that Liu Xinlan was able to be resurrected.
Luo Wangshu's original body needed to guard the Abyss, but her alternate identity frequently wandered around the Ninth Base City.
