## History

### Great Evolution Army

As the Southern Army Commander of the Great Evolution Army, Ouyang Lie first meets Yang Kai as the latter brings him news that Eastern Army Commander Xiang Shan has changed the original plan for the Northern/Southern and Eastern/Western Great Evolution Armies to directly pincer Great Evolution Pass, and instead wants the Northern and Southern Armies to prevent any reinforcements that are sent out from the Pass from interfering with the Eastern or Western Armies as they make a move to attack the War Zone's Ink Clan King City. While receiving this news, Ouyang Lie, Yang Kai, and the former's disciple, Gong Lian, witness as the Royal Lord stationed within Great Evolution Pass hurriedly makes his way back to protect his King City. Ouyang Lie then tracks the Ink Clan reinforcements sent out from Great Evolution Pass before eventually returning to the main Expelling Ink Battleship of the Northern and Southern Armies in preparation to head them off.

After eventually forcing the defeated Ink Clan reinforcements to retreat back to Great Evolution Pass, Ouyang Lie and the Northern and Southern Armies proceed to set up camp nearby. Over the next several decades, the Northern and Southern Armies keep the Ink Clan held up in Great Evolution Pass, until they eventually send out a large army due to receiving a call for reinforcements from their King City. In the ensuing bloody battle between these armies, Ouyang Lie burns his blood essence to charge the enemy with numerous fearless 8th Ranks, and he very quickly achieves an inspiring victory over one of the War Zone’s lead Territory Lords, Zhe Chong. As a spent and injured Ouyang Lie subsequently conceals his aura within the corpse of Zhe Chong, the terrified Ink Clan army retreats back to Great Evolution Pass.

Later, Ouyang Lie and Mi Jing Lun receive word from Xiang Shan that they can now allow the Great Evolution Ink Clan to depart, and the former two Army Commanders shortly afterward engage in peace talks with the white-flag-bearing Great Evolution Pass Ink Clan. After negotiation, the Ink Clan are allowed to retreat from Great Evolution Pass with the condition that they leave their commodities and 7th Rank Ink Disciples behind, marking the official recapturing of Great Evolution Pass by the Great Evolution Army.

### Expedition

Later, after Yang Kai acquires the Source for Great Evolution Pass, Ouyang Lie, Mi Jing Lun, and Xiang Shan participate in a successful campaign
for the Great Evolution Pass and Army as they both earn a total victory over the Great Evolution War Zone’s King City and make a trip to the Ink Battlefield Source Area. However, after a subsequent great battle against the armies of the original Ink itself within the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction that has kept it captive for over 1,000,000 years, Yang Kai is eventually chased away from the battlefield by a Royal Lord as Ouyang Lie is helpless to assist him.

Later, the Human Race armies are eventually decimated when a Ink GSG appears out of nowhere and helps the Ink Clan armies to overwhelm the entirety of their forces. In the mass retreat back to the 3,000 Worlds through No-Return Pass, Ouyang Lie and Gong Lian end up being stuck behind with some straggling Human Race remnants of the destroyed Mountain Passes until the now shockingly 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm Yang Kai returns from the depths of the battlefield to save them with his newfound incredible strength. Ouyang Lie and Gong Lian then follow Yang Kai’s blazing path until they finally breakthrough to the Spatial Territory of the 3,000 Worlds.

### Mysterious Nether Territory

After the invasion of the 3,000 Worlds by the Ink Clan, Ouyang Lie serves as one of the top 8th Rank powerhouses of one of the 13 remaining Great Territory battlefields within the 3,000 Worlds, Mysterious Nether Territory. One day, when the Human Race forces are about to finally be overwhelmed by this Territory’s Ink Clan, Yang Kai once again appears to kill 3 innate Territory Lords in a flash, forcing the retreat of the terrified Ink Clan.

Relieved that he can now focus on fighting, Ouyang Lie collaborates with Mi Jing Lun and Xiang Shan, now head of the Human Race Head Office Division, to make Yang Kai the new Army Commander of the Mysterious Nether Territory. Eventually, Yang Kai turns the tide of the entire war from this position, and Mysterious Nether Territory becomes a battlefield where 7th Ranks are able to train without the interference of 8th Rank cultivators.

Later, Ouyang Lie is found to have suffered an accumulation of substantial injuries over the years, and is likewise secretly made by Mi Jing Lun to follow Yang Kai to Ink Battlefield in order to safely collect commodities for the Human Race forces back in the 3,000 Worlds. Though at first excited, a proud Ouyang Lie becomes upset with Yang Kai and others when he learns the true purpose of his reassignment, feeling that they are pitying him. However, while serving this role, Ouyang Lie later helps Yang Kai to discover that there is leak of innate Territory Lords coming from the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction.

### Universe Furnace

When the Universe Furnace appears for the first time in 40,000 years, all treaties with the Ink Clan are called off, and Ouyang Lie is one of several Peak 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm cultivators to enter the furnace’s Small World. Here he eventually runs into Yang Kai, who at one point teams up with him to force a 9th Rank comparable Pseudo-Royal Lord to retreat before leaving an extremely touched Ouyang Lie with a Universe Furnace Best Quality Open Heaven Pill.

At first reluctant to take the pill, Ouyang Lie decides to finally do so after being encouraged by several Human Race 8th Ranks present, allowing him to break his limit and promote to the 9th Rank Open Heaven Realm.
