After Starfire Fiend and Di Yi Fiend declined to join his faction, Garen set out for Di Yi City, hoping to meet Linley and Bebe and recruit them. Three years into his journey, he had hunted bandits along the way and was nearing the city while continuing to pursue greater strength for the Huaxia Faction.

Garen and Linley traveled toward Azure Prefecture, and Garen’s bandit hunt yielded White Tiger Essence Blood and a drop of Earth-style Sovereign Power. In his private room, Garen absorbed the Essence Blood and Wind-style Sovereign Power, greatly strengthening his body, though it remained below the limit of a High-level Divine Artifact.

After absorbing White Tiger Essence Blood, Garen cultivated and discovered the Huaxia Order could collect experience from kills made by Linley, inspiring him to plan a large faction.

• Garen absorbed a drop of Chief God White Tiger Essence Blood, strengthening his body and bloodline, and looked forward to the Ancestral Hall Baptism.

• Garen redirected the Metal Lifeform toward Moon Castle, where the group gathered after mistaking its arrival for another bandit attack.

After Ulunisen’s guards refused them entry, Garen destroyed the castle’s defensive array with one strike and demanded a conversation, leaving Ulunisen wary and waiting for his Death-style Divine Clone to arrive.

• Garen diverted the group to Moon Castle, claiming he wanted to visit and recruit its master.

• Ulunisen’s Death-style Divine Clone emerged from beneath a forbidden lake with over a hundred High-level Gods and headed for Moon Castle.

Ulunisen conceded and agreed to follow Garen for ten thousand years, while Garen realized the Wind Stone had saved him from Ulunisen’s Innate Divine Ability.

• Garen put away the God-Slaying Blade, and Ulunisen transformed into his black dragon true form to fight him.
• Garen overpowered Ulunisen in a contest of physical strength, then continued to dominate when they fought with Fusion Profound Mysteries.
• Ulunisen attacked Garen with a Soul Slave and the Fire of Repentance, but Garen’s Soul Defense Divine Artifact and Blade-shaped Soul resisted them.
• Ulunisen used his Innate Divine Ability, Soul Annihilation, and the Wind Stone consumed most of its energy to erase the attack before it reached Garen’s soul.
• Ulunisen conceded and agreed to follow Garen for ten thousand years, and Garen recognized how dangerous divine beasts’ Innate Divine Abilities could be.

After recruiting Ulunisen, Garen organized the Metal Lifeform’s crew into a bandit-hunting force with Sovereign’s Might as a reward. Five years later, they reached Yilan City, much closer to Tianji Mountain Range in Azure Prefecture.

• Garen, Linley, Bebe, Ulunisen, and the others hunted down bandit gangs along their route for five years before arriving at Yilan City.

Over five years, Garen and his companions killed bandits, earned Sovereign's Might, and grew stronger before resting in Yilan City. Afterward, Garen decided to seek out the Volcano Giant Pusluo and try to recruit him into the Huaxia Faction.

• Garen's group wiped out enormous bandit gangs, collected rewards, and helped Linley, Bebe, and the four women complete their quotas.
• Garen adjusted Ulunisen's quota to five thousand High-level God enemies and secretly helped his companions advance their cultivation.
• Garen accumulated 46 billion experience points but remained unable to find a way to fuse the Mysteries of Dimensions with other profound mysteries.

• Garen remembered that Pusluo was trapped by a Seven-Star Fiend and decided to rescue him and tempt him to join the Huaxia Faction with Sovereign's Might.
