The page presents another account: the surname derives from the Zi surname and from descendants in Baekje of Zhong, a collateral son of Jizi of the Shang royal house, constituting Sinicization through a surname change. This account is said to be recorded in the Chaoxian Pu Taiyuan Pu.
Regarding whether the Wacho lineage and the second origin account share the same source, the source explicitly says this requires further investigation. Regarding descendants of Emperor Ling of Han changing their surname to 調 and migrating to Wanuo, the source uses the word “legend,” so it should not be treated as verified history.
