Background and Rise

Mu Yuan begins as a civilian-background Lord whose early resources are limited compared with wealthy heirs and corporate-backed players. He nevertheless chooses the path of an independent Lord, relying on careful troop recruitment, material extraction, and evolution planning rather than outside sponsorship. 12 55 89

Early exploration exposes his personal weakness: his game avatar initially cannot keep pace with even a Skeleton Soldier and suffers from fatigue after traveling. This motivates him to improve his body, seek a mount, and eventually develop personal combat methods rather than remaining solely behind his troops. 12

His territory, initially known as Tian Yuan Territory, grows through the acquisition of Remnant Souls, the development of Evolution Power, and the recruitment of self-aware troops. By the time it becomes Tian Yuan City, it is recognized by visiting Elves and Giants as a first-rate Human-race power. 105 332 429

Personality

Mu Yuan is cautious, analytical, and highly resource-conscious. He weighs troop potential against cost, avoids fights without clear benefit, and prefers preparation over improvisation when confronting unknown threats. 13 183 443

He treats evolution as both a strategic resource and a long-term responsibility. Rather than indiscriminately empowering newcomers, he prioritizes veteran generals such as Lu Liu and plans the order in which his forces will receive scarce Evolution Power. 206 337

Despite his growing reputation, Mu Yuan frequently understates his own strength. He presents himself as a support-oriented Lord focused on communication and micro-management even while demonstrating battlefield-scale offensive power. 462

Abilities & Skills

Evolution Miracle

Mu Yuan possesses Evolution Power, later understood as a form of Miracle Power, which allows him to evolve troop types, subordinate generals, bloodlines, and selected external targets. 105 394 475

• Can merge related troop types into shared evolution systems, such as the Human Race Evolution Point system. 105
• Performs remote troop evolution within a three-kilometer radius. 116
• Can guide different evolution branches when multiple viable paths appear. 567
• Uses the Hand of Evolution to offer evolution opportunities to other powerhouses, though this is slower and more costly than evolving his own forces. 475
• Legendary and Perfect Legendary evolutions require immense Miracle Power; each remaining Perfect Legendary general is stated to require three million Miracle Power. 755
• Cannot force every evolution: attempts to evolve the Guardian Hall fail due to missing requirements or insufficient power. 654

Lord’s Power

Lord’s Power allows Mu Yuan to borrow the traits, skills, forms, and combat abilities of his subordinate generals. 101

• Can transform into forms associated with his generals, including Undead Bone’s armored form, Lu Liu’s Royal Imperial Guard form, and A Falcon’s Storm War Falcon form. 101
• Uses loaded templates to combine the foundations and abilities of different generals, such as Duo Lai’s energy reserves with Rakshasa’s Evil Power. 181 182
• Initially could employ up to 80% of borrowed power and preload three templates. 352
• After completing the Advancement Trial, can borrow 100% of a subordinate general’s power, solidify up to three troop talents or skills onto himself, temporarily strengthen troop types, and release an additional 20% of borrowed skill or talent power. 522
• Cannot always reproduce a general’s unique techniques perfectly; Isroya’s advanced abilities and Starlight Body were initially only available in incomplete form. 181

Mental Link

Originally a communication talent for linking friendly forces, Mental Link evolves into a reality-interfering spiritual network. 351

• Links allied troops for coordination, command, and long-range communication. 443 462
• Can manifest mental power as physical phenomena such as hands, flames, or frost. 351
• Can connect to enemies and interfere directly with their minds and consciousness. 351
• Enables a long-distance mental descent body across thousands of kilometers, though the projected body has limited combat power. 377
• Supports his battlefield command style by synchronizing troop actions and enabling simultaneous, coordinated attacks. 462

All Origins

All Origins is Mu Yuan’s Saint’s Path and a power centered on integrating diverse concepts, skills, talents, and Great Powers. 748

• Draws on the powers awakened by Tian Yuan City’s evolved generals to advance his own path. 748
• Can suppress space and time and overwhelm coordinated Law Realm opponents. 768
• Allows him to wield 100% of an ordinary borrowed Great Power after sufficient cultivation, though such power is still borrowed rather than innately his. 786
• Includes the Concept of Yuan: “the origin of all things,” capable of transforming into concepts beyond his original specialties. 734

Arcane Arts and Combat System

Mu Yuan develops personal combat systems around borrowed powers, spear techniques, troop coordination, and large-scale Arcane Arts.

• Blazing Sun — A large-scale spell created by fusing Arcane Arts through the Magic Furnace. 141
• Thought Chessboard — An Epic Skill awakened in the Apocalypse Mystic Realm; used to amplify Blazing Sun sixty-six times against Cold Moon. 493 519
• Near Yet Far — A Quasi-Epic Skill awakened through resonance with the Myriad Phenomena Revelation Peak. 493
• Spear Intent and Thunder Intent — Personal Artistic Conceptions developed alongside his template-based combat. 134 182
• Thunder Dragon formation attack — Uses Mental Link to synchronize one hundred soldiers, allowing each to unleash a Thunder Dragon simultaneously. 462
• Survival-focused techniques — Relies on abilities such as Flesh Shackles, Indestructible Golden Body, Nether Crow Avatar, and Ascending Ninety Thousand Miles to avoid becoming a vulnerable Lord target. 481 519

Equipment, Buildings, and Assets

• Scepter of Heavenly Authority — A major strategic asset used to operate the Heavenly Eye and observe distant enemy fortresses from Tian Yuan City. 323 377
• Ancient Mage Tower — A Legendary Grade building obtained from the World Secret Realm; possesses the powers Suppress, Control, Law, and Heaven. 558
• Magic Furnace — Allows Arcane Arts to be fused into larger spells, including Blazing Sun. 141 142
• Nether Shadow Cloak — Outstanding Grade equipment that enhances physique, spirit, and energy; conceals aura and can merge its body with shadows. 200
• Black-Gold Card — Grants VIP access to the Mysterious Merchant Alliance’s All-Heavens Trade Platform. 575 576
• Outstanding Grade staff, armor, and shield — His practical life-saving set, used as mediums for his skills and defense. 381

Relationships

• Undead Bone — Core Undead general and commander of Tian Yuan’s Undead forces. Mu Yuan entrusts it with troop leadership, battlefield operations, and major strategic duties. 177 352 574

Story Role / Major Arcs

New Lord and Territory Development

Mu Yuan builds Tian Yuan Territory through troop recruitment, reconnaissance, resource extraction, equipment purchases, and repeated evolutions. His early strategy emphasizes Undead, Slime, and Falcon troops while balancing scarce Soul Sand and Remnant Souls. 12 49 116

He distinguishes himself in the Resource Assessment by ranking second in the written test and using mass Skeleton Soldier summoning to survive the martial test. 37

Rookie Rise and Secret Realm Campaigns

Mu Yuan clears challenge stages, explores Mystic Realms, and gains attention from other Lords through the strength of his generals. Red Robe’s victory in a General Duel is widely regarded as proof that Tian Yuan possesses an unusual trump card. 56 120 122

His identity as the mysterious Tian Yuan Lord becomes a subject of interest among domestic and foreign powers after he rises to the top of the Golden List and earns the Rookie King title. 144 145

Tian Yuan City and Regional Wars

After upgrading his territory and recruiting large Undead forces, Mu Yuan leads campaigns against monster tribes, Filth Roots, and regional overlords. His forces’ ability to rapidly evolve into Epic Grades becomes Tian Yuan’s defining advantage. 180 193 332

Tian Yuan City’s strength expands from a territory centered on individual generals into a first-rate regional Human force with powerful Arcane Arts, Miracle Buildings, and an increasing number of Legendary combatants. 332 558 625

Pioneer General and War Zone Commander

Mu Yuan accepts command of the Broken Island War Zone and later receives authority to establish the Sky Patrol War Zone as a mobile force for Tai Xuan. 473 522

His contributions during the Sky Rift Disaster and the Broken Island War Zone earn him promotion to seven-star Pioneer General, accompanied by National Luck protection. 608

Saint’s Path and Final Battles

Mu Yuan advances along the All Origins Saint’s Path by evolving Legendary generals and integrating their Great Powers into his own cultivation. 748

When targeted by coordinated Law Realm Dukes from the Eternal Star Empire and Monster Overlords, he uses All Origins to suppress space and time and defeat them. 768

In the final battle, his unfamiliar Tian Yuan authority ascends, allowing him to manifest sealed Great Powers against Filth and other Supreme-level threats. 821
