Locke observed Theresia resisting attackers who sought to force him to advance, while using the battles to study the Wind Law. When Luo An unexpectedly appeared to challenge Theresia, Locke realized his son had secretly traveled to the Wind Element God Plane.

• Locke watched Theresia fight and analyzed his Wind Law techniques through Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Luo An brought Theresia to the Netherworld to seek guidance from Sovereign Locke, risking discovery after secretly leaving home. Locke watched their arrangement and expected that seeing his Water Mansion could help Luo An begin aligning a sixth Water Law profound law.

• Luo An explained that he had left the Netherworld after becoming an Asura Prefect Lord, and Theresia asked him to arrange a meeting with Sovereign Locke.

• Locke returned his attention to the Sovereign Palace and reasoned that the Death Overlord had allowed Luo An to leave because Luo An could protect himself.

Theresia reached the Nether Mountain Range with Luo An and attempted to cross the three layers of mist guarding Lord Locke’s home. He passed the first two but was overwhelmed by the third layer’s Soul Attack and expelled, leaving him shaken by the experience.

• Luo An explained that the mist protected Nether Mountain and tested those seeking to join the Sovereign Legions or meet Lord Locke.
• Theresia insisted on trying all three layers, and Luo An left him to wait in the town outside.
• Theresia crossed the first two layers, learning from their Soul Attacks and observing Sovereign Legion soldiers using formations in battle.
• Theresia entered the third layer, but its overwhelming Soul Attack erased his senses and awareness before sending him back outside.
• Theresia realized his soul was unharmed but was terrified by the experience of having his perception and senses stripped away.

• Locke told Luo An that he had surpassed Great Perfection in fusing the Water and Fate Laws and that Lilia had achieved Great Perfection in the Death Rule.
• Luo An asked Locke to teach him how to achieve Great Perfection.

Locke guided Luo An through his first encounter with the perfected Water Law, and Luo An made rapid progress in fusing its profound mysteries. After Luo An asked to learn illusion arts, Locke began teaching him their principles and connection to the Water Law.

• Locke told Luo An that Lilia wanted his Death Element Divine Clone at her Sovereign Palace, where she disciplined him before allowing him to enter seclusion.

• Luo An announced that he had found compatibility between the sixth Water Law profound mystery and the other five, and had already fused part of it.
• Luo An asked to learn illusion arts, and Locke explained that illusion arts relied on deception, with Illusionary Fog serving as their closest Water Law connection to the soul.

Luo An remained stuck half a step short of Great Perfection in Water Law while Theresia achieved Great Perfection in Wind Law, allowing Locke to copy the law and begin comprehending Space Law. Theresia later agreed to demonstrate his strength to Luo An, who rushed out of the city with him in pursuit.

• Luo An’s illusion technique badly damaged fish’s souls, so Locke told him to focus on other Law Profundities; tens of thousands of years later, Luo An had fused the six Water Law Profundities but remained half a step short of Great Perfection.
• Theresia fused the eight Wind Law Profundities as a Mid-grade God, became a High God, and eventually attained Great Perfection after hundreds of thousands of years of pursuit by a Sovereign Envoy; he killed the envoy with one move.
• Locke copied Theresia’s Great Perfection Wind Law through Mirror Flower Water Moon and entered seclusion to comprehend the portions of Space Law it contained, relying on Dijiang’s affinity for space.
• Luo An visited Theresia and asked to witness a Great Perfection expert’s strength; Theresia agreed, and Luo An hurried out of the inn with Little Turtle while Theresia followed.

• Luo An used Dragon Sweep Formation to disperse Theresia’s Willpower-enhanced Wind God’s Spear.
• Theresia charged into Luo An’s defensive formation, broke it, and struck Luo An’s chest with a palm that sent him flying.

Luo An fought Theresia, a newly confirmed Great Perfection, and used Space Power inherited from his father Dijiang to land attacks Theresia could not evade. As spectators and the wind-element Sovereigns watched, they learned Luo An was the favored son of Sovereign Locke and the Death Lord God, and began calling him a Quasi-Great Perfection.

• Luo An charged Theresia again after recovering from the force of Theresia's attack, and his spear strikes forced Theresia back despite failing to break his defense.
• Luo An explained that his bloodline as Dijiang's descendant let him wield some Space Power, which made his attacks seem farther away than they were and impossible for Theresia to dodge.
• Deities gathered near the battlefield but stayed back from the Spatial Rifts, recognizing Theresia and recording the fight with Illusionary Stones.
• The four wind-element Sovereigns observed Luo An's fused divine power, Godhead Defense Weapon, and unusual spear technique, and considered recruiting him as a Sovereign Envoy.
• The spectators identified Theresia's opponent as Crown Prince Luo An, son of Sovereign Locke and the Death Lord God, and dubbed him a Quasi-Great Perfection.

After Luo An earned the title Quasi-Great Perfection, Locke tried ice carving as a way to help him find the inspiration for a final breakthrough. A century of practice led Locke to master the craft and unexpectedly complete another fusion of his Water and Fate Laws.

• Locke began practicing ice carving, hoping that mastering the craft might help Luo An achieve an epiphany.
• After a hundred years, Locke completed an ice sculpture of Lilia that radiated her majesty.
• The completed sculpture triggered Locke’s own breakthrough, allowing him to fully fuse five Water Laws with Fate Law and increase his strength a thousandfold.
