Background / History

Lu Yan'an was reincarnated on Yuan Planet, a high-martial world saturated with Origin Energy. He secretly learned the local language and cultivation system from childhood, becoming Yuan Planet's youngest cultivator at two years old. Although his elder brother Lu Kunwu was the family's celebrated prodigy, Yan'an completed the Nine Turns of Origin Energy at sixteen and learned that this foundation was merely the Apprentice stage before the Planetary, Stellar, and Universe levels 1.

His father, Lu Zhong, directed him to the Lu Family Heritage Tower. Inside, Yan'an was selected for the lethal Named Disciple Inheritance Assessment of Ti Pu, a Universe Country Lord. He spent nine years trapped in the assessment chamber before emerging as Ti Pu's named disciple and meeting Lord Shen, the intelligent lifeform guarding the inheritance 2 4 5.

The Heritage Tower was revealed to be a spaceship left as part of Feng Yunruo's contingency plan for Yuan Planet. After returning home and sharing non-core inheritance techniques with the Lu Family, Yan'an departed Yuan Planet aboard the Heritage Spaceship to enter the wider universe 5 6.

His early virtual combat training exposed the weakness of relying on talent alone: he lasted only two seconds against one hundred Planetary Level opponents in the Killing Field. The defeat prompted his first major transformation in heart cultivation, shifting him from arrogance to deliberate, methodical growth 9 10.

Yan'an later entered the Virtual Universe Company's genius system, won the final of the arena battles against Illusion Dream, and entered Chaos City. There, an epiphany before spatial rifts led him to make the Law of Time the framework of his cultivation path. His rapid advancement drew the attention of high-level figures, culminating in his acceptance as the Lord of Darkness's personal disciple 48 61 68 69.

As his strength grew, Yan'an developed Heart Force and built a Heart World through repeated illusionary lifetimes within the Stairs of Sinking. He fought on the Outer Region Battlefield, pursued military merits independently on Yuanming Continent, and became known for Heart Force techniques capable of overwhelming King-level Immortals 149 188 212.

After becoming an Immortal and later a Universe Venerable, Yan'an's influence expanded beyond the Human Race. He shared his Heart Power inheritance for the race's benefit, fought thousands of Glory World battles at the Ancestral God Religion, and became a recognized powerhouse among Universe Venerables 246 269 316.

Following sixty thousand years of wandering, he returned to Chaos City with a transformed state of mind and will at the Universe Supreme Being level. He eventually became a Universe Master and later returned to guide the descendants of Yuan Planet alongside Feng Yunruo and Lord Shen 339 362 495 496.

Personality

Lu Yan'an begins as curious, ambitious, and quietly dissatisfied with the limits of Yuan Planet's cultivation world. His early confidence becomes arrogance in the Killing Field, but defeat causes him to pursue a steadier path built on learning, reflection, and practical combat experience 1 9 17.

He is notably self-aware. After major victories—including clearing Primal Tongtian Mountain—he examines the tactical weaknesses that could have caused failure against better-prepared opponents 107. He also refuses factional offers and conditional gifts when they conflict with his long-term goals 35.

Despite his increasing status, Yan'an values family and personal bonds. He returned to Yuan Planet after five years away, risked himself over its captivity by King Luanyu, and later agreed to share his inheritance because he could not reject his teacher's appeal to aid the Human Race 20 170 246.

His sixty-thousand-year journey softens his previously sharp, distant demeanor. He becomes more at peace with himself, though his extraordinary strength leaves him increasingly isolated from former companions 339 495 496.
