Background

Zhou Yuan was originally an ordinary youth who spent more than 1,200 years cultivating into a Universe Level 2 warrior. His parents died after exhausting their lifespans, while his remaining relatives were distant descendants from his granduncles’ branches. With no close attachments, he became a wandering adventurer. 1 40

His dormant memories awakened after he discovered an Earth Heart in the Yunyan Secret Realm. He remembered that he was also Lu Yuan, whose consciousness had merged with Hunyuan Energy and the Hunyuan Dao before reincarnating as Zhou Yuan. The Earth Heart awakened the Hunyuan Dao Seed, restored his sealed memories, and transmitted the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique into his consciousness. 1

The technique’s initial overload left him unconscious for three months. Rather than remain in the dangerous secret realm, Zhou Yuan had Beibei conceal the Goshawk at the Shattered Star Belt’s edge, where he began rebuilding his strength and studying his new inheritance. 1 2

Zhou Yuan initially remained independent despite being recruited by seven World Lord-level factions after gaining Earth Origin Law recognition. He later accepted the Purple Chen Nation Lord as his master after the Nation Lord personally intervened to protect him from alien assassination attempts. 13 41 42

Appearance

Zhou Yuan normally maintains a human-sized body of roughly two meters through Myriad Transformations, but his completed Third Layer physique reaches 2,000 meters. 47

• Wore black battle armor during his early travels in the Shattered Star Belt. 1
• Gained a rock-shaped yellow mark between his brows after receiving Earth Origin Law recognition. 13
• Can alter his height, age-related appearance, physique, species, and even material composition through Myriad Transformations. 11 12
• His 200-meter and 2,000-meter true forms possess immense physical power and dense genetic energy. 17 47

Personality

Zhou Yuan is cautious, strategic, and unusually patient. After his awakening, he chose secure seclusion over immediate exploration, consistently securing resources, safe cultivation sites, and escape routes before attempting dangerous breakthroughs. 1 7 10

He treats repeated failure as training rather than defeat. He spent months constructing the first layer’s secret-pattern structure, centuries forging weapons to finance the second layer, and years refining his Space Origin Law through virtual combat and study. 2 16 25 49

Despite his preference for independence, Zhou Yuan is not detached from others. He treats Beibei gently, saved Yun Yan with a Life Fruit, and accepted his senior siblings’ gifts after recognizing their sincerity. 1 33 46

Abilities & Skills

Hunyuan Dao Seed

A reincarnation-born treasure formed from Lu Yuan’s merged consciousness, Hunyuan Energy, and the Hunyuan Dao. It is the foundation of Zhou Yuan’s unusual cultivation path. 1

• Deduces secret techniques by consuming origin energy or Universe Crystals. 1 48
• Protects Zhou Yuan from soul attacks, killing methods, and enslavement. 1
• Amplifies his perception of Origin Laws; after absorbing the Earth Heart, his Earth Origin perception became exceptionally clear. 1
• Can directly absorb enormous quantities of Universe Crystals, including an entire Cosmic Crystal Meteorite. 7
• Produced the personalized Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique and Artifact Refining Secret Art 2.0. 2 48

Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique

A nine-layer body-and-soul cultivation art uniquely deduced for Zhou Yuan. Each completed layer doubles his genetic multiplier, expands his body volume by a thousandfold, and multiplies his strength tenfold. It cannot be passed to another cultivator. 1

• Requires constructing and linking complex three-dimensional secret-pattern structures with soul power and origin force. 2 16
• The first layer contains 10,081 secret patterns; the second contains 10,081 composite patterns, each formed from nine smaller patterns. 2 16
• Completed three layers, raising his genetic multiplier from the Earth Heart’s 30× baseline to 240×. 2 11 17 47
• Requires extreme quantities of nutrient solution and recovery resources; the fourth layer alone is estimated to cost over 10 million Hunyuan units. 47
• The first layer unlocked his innate secret technique, Myriad Transformations. 11

Earth and Space Origin Laws

Zhou Yuan’s primary law path combines Earth’s heaviness and suppression with Space’s sealing, distortion, and teleportation principles. 18 26

• Reached the Earth Origin Law threshold after less than seven months of meditation. 3
• Received formal Earth Origin Law recognition after decades of cultivation. 13
• Entered the Space Origin Law through studying the Breaking Mountain Blade’s Earth-and-Space secret patterns. 15
• Studied the Purple Chen Secret Canon’s 108 natures of Space and eventually analyzed 39 Space Origin Law essences. 44 50
• His Earth-and-Space-enhanced Zhenkong Slash could immobilize seventh-stage World Lords during his later Universe Level cultivation. 36

Myriad Transformations

An innate transformation technique granted by the first layer of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique. 11

• Can imitate sufficiently studied lifeforms, natural materials, machines, energy beings, weapons, and other objects. 11 12
• Allows complete control over body size and appearance, enabling Zhou Yuan to return his giant true form to ordinary human proportions. 17 47
• Can reproduce functional machinery and origin-force weapon patterns after adequate analysis. 12
• Used for survival by disguising himself as a meteorite while fleeing peak World Lord beasts. 21
• Cannot initially copy a target’s life imprint or genetic structure, leaving living disguises vulnerable to advanced scanning. 11
• Failed to replicate the Cosmos Blade because the king-grade weapon exceeded the technique’s analytical limit. 49

Myriad Avatars

A movement secret technique purchased at the Purple Zenith Auction and cultivated through sustained Killing Ground training. 24 25

• Creates phantom bodies with identical auras while moving at high speed. 25
• Reached the first level in three months and the second level after more than three years. 25
• His natural Space Origin Law affinity allowed more avatars in reality than the technique normally produced in the Virtual Universe. 25
• Reached the fourth level after 120 years, producing thousands of real-world phantom bodies. 26
• Its teleportation principles helped Zhou Yuan develop faster spatial combat methods. 25 26

Blade Techniques

Zhou Yuan is a blade specialist whose combat style evolved from Fire Law-based speed into Earth-and-Space Law integration. 4 18

• Earth-Splitting Blade techniques — Early Earth Law-compatible attacks emphasizing weight, stability, and overwhelming force; refined through 128 Killing Ground deaths and victories. 4
• Zhenkong Slash — Combines Earth’s suppression with Space’s sealing power, restricting an opponent’s movement and forcing them to endure the strike. 18
• Instant Space Slash — A faster counterpart to Zhenkong Slash that uses spatial distortion, explosive force, afterimages, and stacked blade energies. 26
• Used Zhenkong Slash to sever a third-stage World Lord beast’s tail, break its neck defenses, and destroy its life core. 20

Artifact Refining

Zhou Yuan became an artifact refiner by combining Hunyuan Dao Seed deductions, Myriad Transformations-based pattern analysis, Earth-and-Space Law comprehension, and Virtual Universe simulations. 14 15

• Progressed from first-order force weapons to high-grade third-order weapons and armor. 14
• Forged fourth-tier Breaking Mountain Blades by fusing Earth and Space Origin Law secret patterns. 15
• Mass-produced more than 70,000 Breaking Mountain Blades over 327 years to finance the second layer of his cultivation technique. 16
• Developed Artifact Refining Secret Art 2.0, which improves energy efficiency tenfold and reduces the peak force-energy burden through sustained tempering. 48
• Can theoretically attempt an Immortal Divine Weapon with his current energy reserves, but still lacks mastery of Immortal-level secret-pattern inscription. 48

Equipment

• Cosmos Blade — King-grade G-metal saber forged by the grandmaster Cosmos; contains complete Space Law secret patterns and was gifted by Di Rui. 49
• Zhenkong Blade — Fifth-tier force weapon used to develop and execute Zhenkong Slash. 17 20
• Fifth-tier force battle suit — Absorbed much of the impact from a third-stage World Lord beast’s tail strike. 17 20
• Breaking Mountain Blade — Fourth-tier Earth-and-Space weapon whose patterns helped Zhou Yuan enter the Space Origin Law. 15
• World Rings — Used to store treasures, Universe Crystals, cultivation resources, and the Purple Heart Fruit’s surrounding soil. 18 19
• Purple Chen Secret Canon — His master’s personal inheritance, providing a systematic framework for studying Space Origin Law. 42 44

Relationships

• Beibei — Intelligent virtual assistant and constant companion. She pilots his spacecraft, monitors his condition, appraises resources, manages simulations, and assists with cultivation and refining. 1 7 25 48
• Purple Chen Nation Lord — Master and protector. He brought Zhou Yuan into the Purple Zenith Secret Realm, accepted him as his seventh personal disciple, and provided the Purple Chen Secret Canon. 41 42
• Di Rui — Third senior brother; a Universe Venerable who gifted Zhou Yuan the Cosmos Blade. 46 49
• Yun Lei, Xuan Yu, Mo Chen, and Gui Yue (Wang Fugui) — Senior siblings in the Purple Chen Nation Lord’s lineage; welcomed Zhou Yuan with guidance, support, and one million Hunyuan units each. 46
• Gao Tao, Suo Lin, Ka En, Yun Yan, and Mu Feng — Former World Lord exploration teammates under a thousand-year contract for Sixth Continent expeditions. 26
• Yun Yan — Teammate saved by Zhou Yuan’s immediate use of Mu Feng’s Life Fruit after a critical injury. 33
• Qian Hong — World Lord-level manor steward responsible for Zhou Yuan’s supplies, deliveries, and household affairs in the Purple Zenith Secret Realm. 43 47
• Zhou Yuan’s parents — Both died after exhausting their lifespans before his memory awakening. 1
