Background / History

Lu Zhou is a transmigrator who arrived in the world of Covering the Heavens with a Sign-in and Check-in System. At Mount Tai, he gained 10,000 jin of strength, saved a woman from falling into the chaos around the Nine Dragon Pulling Coffin, and was drawn into the coffin with Ye Fan's classmates. Ye Fan later introduced him to Pang Bo as another tourist caught in the incident. 1 2

In the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, Lu Zhou established himself as decisive and difficult to intimidate. He stripped supplies from Liu Yunzhi and other former bullies, killed a Divine Crocodile alongside Ye Fan, and memorized a scripture connected to the Desolate Heaven Emperor. 5

His system-driven journey repeatedly brought him rare inheritances, cultivation resources, and powerful artifacts. Refining Emperor blood and the Azure Lotus seed elevated him to the peak of Divine Bridge, while later sign-ins provided techniques, scriptures, treasures, and even Emperor Weapons. 11 23 120 138 144

Lu Zhou became a major figure in the Eastern Wasteland after using Origin Techniques to bankrupt the Yaoguang Stone Workshop and annihilate the elites of the Four Great Ancient Origin Technique Families. His reputation as the “Overlord Immortal” grew through his domination of rivals, generosity toward allies, and willingness to confront major powers. 89 91 92

He forced the Ruthless Emperor lineage to withdraw from Yaoguang, subsequently took control of Yaoguang Holy Land, and signed in there for the complete Tribulation Transcending Heavenly Art. 117 120

After returning to Earth through a One-time Round Trip Teleportation Disk, Lu Zhou visited Mount Tai and his hometown, later helping Xu Qiong begin cultivation and collecting ancient texts across the country. He also maintained ties with Ye Fan and Pang Bo’s families before returning to Emperor Burial Star. 263 271 292

Lu Zhou later traveled through Ziwei, the Eternity Star Domain, and the Human Race Ancient Road. His strength, resources, and alliances made him a central figure wherever he went, while his long-term goal remained becoming the strongest, comparable to Wushi and the Void Great Emperor. 315 435 473

Personality

Lu Zhou is generally calm, confident, and calculating. He uses foreknowledge, observation, and his system’s rewards to make strategic decisions, such as leading Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue through the Death Gate of the Bronze Immortal Palace after recognizing the significance of their artifacts. 61

He is courteous to those who show him respect, patiently listening to Fifth Master Zhang and treating the Qi Shi Mansion’s rules seriously. 23 254 He is also notably generous with companions and allied factions, sharing loot, scriptures, cultivation guidance, and protection. 144 309 320 440

However, Lu Zhou is ruthless toward enemies, bandits, assassins, and factions that threaten him or his allies. He killed Chen the Bearded’s subordinates in a single strike, destroyed the Four Great Origin Technique Families’ elites, crippled hostile Holy Sons and Holy Maidens, and retaliated against the Assassin Dynasties with public counter-bounties. 23 91 227 205
