While he waited for enough Lone Rangers to gather, he killed two World Lords who started a fight, leaving the plaza terrified and silent.

Lu Yan'an joined an elite World Lord squad at 044 Base and learned that Giant Axe Founder had secretly raised his military merit quota to one quadrillion. After killing a Peak Military Lord Immortal and regaining his freedom, Lu Yan'an left the squad to seek stronger opponents and pursue the power needed to complete his mission.

• Lu Yan'an arrived at 044 Base and joined elite World Lord squad 044 as its World Lord General.
• He listened to his squadmates' battlefield advice but found that their hunts earned military merits too slowly.
• Lu Yan'an learned that Giant Axe Founder had raised his quota from one billion to one quadrillion, which he had to earn within 7,300 years to save his family.
• During a hunt, Lu Yan'an killed a Peak Military Lord Immortal and earned enough merits to regain his freedom under the army's standard quota.
• Lu Yan'an left the squad's low-level hunting grounds and set his sights on reaching Peak King strength.

After completing his military merit quota, Lu Yan'an chose to keep fighting alone and studied the Fourth Battlefield map for a more challenging hunting ground. He decided to head for Yuanming Continent, where powerful Immortal Gods gathered, while worrying that Yuan Planet might be exposed.

• Lu Yan'an decided to travel to Yuanming Continent to earn military merit, though he remained concerned about Yuan Planet being exposed.

Lu Yan'an reached Yuanming Continent and discovered that a naturally formed illusion concealed its true landscape. After breaking the formation and taking its Dream Shadow Stone core, he asked Lord Shen to scan the battlefield now revealed.

• Lu Yan'an left the Dark Universe near Yuanming Continent and used Teleportation to reach it.
• Lu Yan'an realized he was trapped in an illusion, while Lord Shen determined that it was a natural formation with severely limited detector range.

• Lu Yan'an shattered the illusion around the core and discovered a purple-gold Dream Shadow Stone.
• Lu Yan'an took the Dream Shadow Stone, causing the illusion to collapse and revealing a desolate interstellar battlefield.
• Lu Yan'an asked Lord Shen to scan the area within ten million kilometers for energy fluctuations.

Lu Yan'an recognized a lone Peak World Lord as bait and suspected a pair of werewolf undying were preparing an ambush. After they destroyed his ship with a laser cannon, he teleported in front of them and challenged them.

• Lord Shen reported a lone Peak World Lord with an outdated detector, and Lu Yan'an concluded that the man was bait.

Lu Yan'an looted two Immortals, rescued a captive World Lord, and settled in Yuanming Continent to begin life-and-death training. After discovering that his strength let him fight King-level opponents but not reliably destroy their Undying Bodies, he worried that using his Six-Phase Sealing Method would expose his trump card.

• Lu Yan'an began a routine of hunting and fighting alone, then returning to reflect and cultivate.
• Lu Yan'an found that his attacks could reach High King strength, but his World Lord-level foundation and inability to burn Immortal Divine Power made it difficult to kill opponents with Undying Bodies.
• Lu Yan'an relied on the Six-Phase Sealing Method to kill Marquis-level enemies, but feared that using it deeper in Yuanming Continent would reveal his trump card.

After a century of fighting on Yuanming Continent, Lu Yan'an found that his blade techniques still fell short of the Time Fusion Law’s potential and studied how to perfect them. When ten Marquis Immortals approached his lair, he set out to test his techniques against them.

• Lu Yan'an’s reputation as a King who hunted Marquises spread among the Alien Race, prompting groups of four to seven Marquis Immortals to join forces and flee when he closed in.

• In the Virtual Universe, Lu Yan'an compared his blade techniques with the perfect flow of the Time Fusion Law and realized his self-created moves remained incomplete.

Lu Yan'an used his Law of Time and refined Starfall technique to overwhelm ten Monster Race Marquis Immortals who had attacked him together. When they fled, he trapped and killed them with the Empty Aspect of the Six-Phase Sealing Method, leaving their fate sealed in a painting that then scattered.

• Lu Yan'an evaded the ten Marquis Immortals with a movement technique powered by the Law of Time and split Kewo apart with Starfall.
• The ten Monster Race Immortals broke through Lu Yan'an's Law World Domain and attacked together, but he activated his Time Power and fought back at greater strength.

• Lord of Darkness asked what Lu Yan'an planned to call the full technique, and Lu Yan'an answered, "The Origin."

After naming his new secret technique Origin, Lu Yan'an entered Yuanming Continent's Core Layer and used his detectors to draw out potential opponents. A Liexiao group detected his apparently lone spacecraft and moved to attack him.

• Lu Yan'an told Lord of Darkness that Origin was the first secret technique he had created and the source of his later techniques.
• Lu Yan'an traveled through the Core Layer for 17 days and concluded that its groups needed King-level combat strength to survive.
• Lu Yan'an ordered Lord Shen to disable the No. 2 Detector's shielding function so stronger alien detectors could spot his spacecraft.
• A wolf-headed Liexiao captain detected Lu Yan'an's spacecraft and judged him to be a lone human at peak Marquis or barely King-level strength.
• The Liexiao captain agreed to attack, and the Liexiao group's spacecraft flew toward Lu Yan'an.

Lu Yan'an ambushed a Monster Race King-level squad and revealed strength close to that of a Peak King. After he badly wounded the squad, its captain reported him and fled with his two subordinates.

• The Monster Race squad approached Lu Yan'an's spacecraft, expecting an easy victory over a lone human Feng Hou.
• Lu Yan'an used his detector to track the squad, then destroyed its spacecraft with a compressed blast of destructive energy.

• The wolf-headed captain reported Lu Yan'an's location and strength through the Monster Race communicator, then ordered his subordinates to flee.

Lu Yan'an tested his blade techniques against Alien Race Immortals on Yuanming Continent and used the Six-Phase Sealing Method to capture and kill them.
