Yes. All of the above. Or whatever sounds interesting to you. There's no mandatory progression.

I wanted to do a century and not be totally beat at the end of it. Then I wanted to do a harder century (more climbing). Then I wanted to do it faster. Then I wanted to race.
Now I'm to the point where finishing a century is not a big deal- it's not much longer than many of my training rides.
