The sky was a deep blue, like a giant piece of blue jade. The summer sun, like a huge fireball, hung high in this giant piece of jade. Judging from the sun's position, it was probably around three o'clock in the afternoon.

Yi'an District No. 3 High School

"Ding ding ding..." As the loud bell rang throughout the campus, a commotion immediately broke out. Large numbers of students poured out of the teaching buildings, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the school gate in groups of three or five.

Within the campus, a figure dressed in a long white robe walked against the flow of people. Strangely, the students in school uniforms around seemed not to notice this eccentric figure, yet everyone seemed to have agreed to avoid the figure's location.

"Senior Brother Luo Feng! Senior Brother Luo Feng!" A deep, resonant voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

Even this unusual figure was drawn by the voice, pausing slightly before stopping and watching the scene before them with great interest.

"Ah Feng, someone is calling you."

Among the students, a young man carrying books, walking with his classmates, was wearing a plain blue tracksuit. He was about 1.75 meters tall and appeared rather thin. At this moment, he turned his head in confusion and saw that the person who called him was a boy who was about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and his arms were incredibly muscular.

"Who are you?" Luo Feng looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression, seemingly not recognizing the person in front of him.

The two men were quite different; one was as burly as a black bear, while "Senior Brother Luo Feng" looked like an ordinary person.

Regarding height...

The two were vastly different in appearance. However, the burly boy seemed somewhat reserved. He carefully observed his idol, "Senior Brother Luo Feng," and thought to himself, "It seems the rumors are true; Senior Brother Luo Feng is quite easy to talk to."

"Senior Brother Luo Feng, I... I have something I'd like to ask Senior Brother Luo Feng for help with," the burly man said nervously.

"What is it?" Luo Feng asked with a smile.

"When I practice boxing, I always feel like something's wrong with how I generate power in my punches. I wonder if you, senior brother, have time to give me some pointers?" the burly young man said. "According to the martial arts instructor, with my strength, I should be able to deliver 50% more power in a punch. However, when I punch, I can never quite reach that level."

The burly young man looked at Luo Feng expectantly.

"Oh, I see..." Luo Feng paused slightly, then nodded. "How about this, find me at the martial arts gym this Sunday afternoon."

"Thank you, senior brother, thank you so much," the burly boy said repeatedly.

Luo Feng smiled and left with his classmates.

Everything was exactly as it was in the original story, without the slightest deviation. The only difference was that this time, someone had witnessed everything.

"Fate is truly wondrous; everything has returned to the original timeline! Even with me added, it seems no different!" Bai Chang Lu Yan'an silently watched all of this. This was the starting point in the original story, and also the beginning of the tale!

"Now that I've met City Lord Luo, it's time to take this final step!" Silently watching Luo Feng's departing figure, Lu Yan'an's figure also vanished from the spot in an instant. The gears of fate had quietly begun to turn, and the last speck of dust that had settled on Lu Yan'an's heart had now been completely brushed away. It was a love for the entire Human Race, and everything else had been quietly set aside after City Lord Luo's appearance!

Eight hundred thousand Years.

Lu Yan'an never simply hid away in his Heart Realm to meditate and comprehend the laws. The knowledge and legacy left to him by the Xin Dao Ren was merely a book; the path he had to walk himself was the one he had to complete. "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles"—this has always been true!

He had traveled within the Qingfeng Mountain, reaching the core area, and even the previously feared Dim Land. He then went to other places and even found some legacies left behind by some True God before they entered the cycle of reincarnation long ago.

They then explored the Universe Boat again, walking very carefully, and even discovered traces left by some ancient and powerful beings who had piloted Universe Boat...

I also went to Mount Liu Chong discovered traces of powerful Ancient Civilization that had once inhabited it...

Finally, Lu Yan'an returned to the Primal Universe, arriving at some peripheral areas. He even traversed the territories of the former Zerg, Monster Race, and Machine Race, and went to the areas of some weaker races to witness the birth and death of life, to see those lives fighting and perishing, and to witness the destruction of a planet...

Regardless of good or evil, or anything concerning the billions of races in the universe, Lu Yan'an did not interfere. He kept in mind his role as an observer, watching everything with detachment and indifference.

Observing the little life.

Observing the birth of a new planet.

Observing the destruction of a planet, or even the destruction of a galaxy under a supermassive black hole.

Gradually, he forgot the purpose of his journey and began to observe the essence of the entire universe from a higher dimension.

The seemingly simple process of an infant growing up and aging was something Lu Yan'an carefully pondered and explored, with Time Acceleration a million times.

The seemingly simple movements of celestial bodies are also something Lu Yan'an is exploring.

Silently, his will was gradually transforming. Until the last stop on Earth, after meeting the young and inexperienced Luo Feng, a sense of great freedom and transcendence helped him brush away the last trace of dust from his spiritual pursuits!

"Earth."

Lu Yan'an stood in outer space, gazing at the distant blue planet.

In his vision, time seemed to flow backward, the Earth rapidly revolving in reverse around the sun, and everything on Earth was constantly changing... especially the interplay of light and shadow, which perfectly reflected everything!

"The past and the future form a perfect unity, just like light and darkness, two sides of the same coin!"

Under Lu Yan'an's gaze, the entire Solar System was changing again, with scene after scene constantly shifting.

If time could be reversed and the scene perfectly clear, then when Luo Feng looked into the future, the scene was constantly shifting. "The past has already happened, and everything is irreversible. But the future is unknown, full of possibilities. One is still, the other is moving, complementing each other!"

Lu Yan'an's expression suddenly froze, and a special realization quietly welled up in his heart.

"Sun!"

Under his gaze, from the endless past to the future, the Earth revolves around the sun in countless circles, and even in all the possibilities of the future, the Earth will still revolve around the sun, circle after circle... eternally and endlessly, seemingly repetitive and tedious, yet governed by an unstoppable law.

"Earth!" Lu Yan'an's gaze shifted and focused on Earth.

From the endless past to the future.

Earth, as a planet inhabited by life, constantly attracts strange life forces from an extremely vast region, nurturing life. This life force is invisible, but Lu Yan'an, who has traveled throughout the Primal Universe to observe the past and future, can vaguely discover traces from the slightest clues and sense that the entire Earth is the core of life nurturing in the vast surrounding region.

"Birth and death are two sides of the same coin, just like light and darkness, interdependent yet independent!"

"Unity in opposition, opposition in unity! Everything is arranged perfectly."

Scenes flashed before Lu Yan'an's eyes: the orbits of countless planets, and at the same time, another scene appeared: light and darkness flowing between each other!

"Completely opposite... yet interconnected... as if transcending everything!"

It transcends space and time.

A profound aura surged forth from Lu Yan'an's body. This was a completely new power, one that surpassed all laws. Even the Time Power, forged by the Will of the Original Universe itself, appeared so immature before this power! The power of the Source of Light and Darkness, a power that originally belonged to the Eternal True God, had now been fully comprehended by a mere Law Master!

Everything unfolded naturally, and as this new power began to flow slowly through his body, Lu Yan'an gradually returned to normal.

"Hmm?" Lu Yan'an was also a little confused. While feeling the power of the Source of Light and Darkness, a feeling of weakness appeared at an inopportune time!
