Beginning of the Adventure before Meeting Lú Zhi: A Tyrannical Warlord

Mùchén Zi Wen stood on the balcony of his family's sprawling estate, his sharp eyes scanning the horizon where the first light of dawn began to creep over the distant mountains. Today marked the beginning of his grand adventure, one that would take him far beyond the confines of his home and into the uncharted territories of the universe. With his new Silver Skyship X9, equipped with a hyper warp engine and the latest in advanced technology, he felt a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

His family gathered below, offering their farewells. His parents, Mùchén Jìng and Lán Hú, stood with pride and concern etched on their faces. His brothers, Mùchén Liáng and Mùchén Jiàn, exchanged encouraging smiles, while Liáng's girlfriend, Xiāo Yù, and Jiàn's fiancée, Wáng Huīyǔ, waved enthusiastically. Even his young nephew, Mùchén Yǒng, looked up at him with admiration.

Zi Wen's gaze shifted to his girlfriend, Méi Lìng, standing with her family—her parents, Méi Zhōng and Méi Huá, her brother, Méi Zhì, and her cousins, Méi Xiǎo and Méi Lán. The shared bond and mutual support between their families added strength to his resolve.

The ship's ramp lowered, and Aeloria, the ship's AI, welcomed him aboard. "All systems are operational, Mùchén. Ready when you are."

As Zi Wen took his first step onto the ship, he thought of his future sons and the legacy he hoped to build. The universe was vast and fraught with danger, but with advanced genetic armors and spirit weapons at his disposal, he felt prepared.

Among the numerous races he would encounter, from the Human Race and Automaton Race to the enigmatic Shadow Race and the resilient Terra Nova, each brought its own challenges and alliances. The alien species, like the Kryzari with their advanced mental abilities, and the fierce Xorathians, added layers of complexity to his journey.

His mind wandered to the allies he had yet to meet, such as Luo Hai, a master strategist, and the enigmatic Babata, an AI with a mysterious past. There were also formidable opponents like Brolin, the relentless warlord, and Gaia Heruo, whose control over elemental forces was unmatched.

Zi Wen's ship carried state-of-the-art equipment—Black God Armor, capable of near-instant regeneration, and the legendary 10,000 Shadow Sword. Each item was a testament to the advancements in technology and cultivation that defined his era.

The political landscape was equally intricate, with governing bodies like the Galactic Council and the fierce independence of the Outer Rim Confederacy. Navigating these alliances and rivalries would be as challenging as any battle.

As the Silver Skyship X9 ascended, leaving the familiar world behind, Zi Wen felt the weight of his mission settle upon him. Yet, the thought of Lú Zhi, the tyrannical warlord he was destined to confront, filled him with determination. The path ahead was uncertain, but with the support of his family, allies, and the advanced technology of his ship, Mùchén Zi Wen was ready to carve his legacy into the stars.
