History

Rise to Power

As an ordinary cultivator, Yutian treated an injured Qilin without expecting repayment. Years later, the Qilin saved his life during an era of demonic incursions and offered to follow him. Yutian instead instructed him to conceal their connection and operate in secret 920.

Yutian, Lingyu True God, and Willow God became celebrated as the three heroes who wiped out the Dragon-Tiger Realm’s demon gods. Yutian and Willow God were also fellow disciples, with Willow God being the senior brother 920 934.

When Lingyu opposed Yutian’s ambition to rule the realm, Yutian used Qilin’s covert assistance to frame him for colluding with a Demon God. He deceived Willow God into helping suppress and kill their former companion. The battle severely damaged Yutian’s origin 920 921.

Willow God eventually discovered the deception and confronted him, but declined to start another divine war in the recently pacified realm. After Willow God disappeared from public life twenty years before the later investigation, Yutian became its undisputed ruler 872 921.

Innate Origin Theft

To repair his injuries, Yutian arranged the collection and refinement of cultivators’ Innate Origins. Qilin secretly obtained leverage over Great God White Brows and used him to run the operation. White Brows did not know that Qilin and Yutian were allies; he was a tool of the larger scheme 921.

Yutian later assigned Chen Ning to investigate the organization in the Western and Northern Territories, offering the Azure Lotus of Life as payment and ordering White Brows to provide resources. Chen Ning accepted because he needed the lotus to restore his depleted vitality and save his small world 847 860.

When the investigation apparently concluded, Yutian handed over the lotus and declared the evidence conclusive. He discouraged Chen Ning from questioning the public announcement. After Willow God’s faction was falsely implicated, Yutian ordered the destruction of Willow God’s statues and prohibited his worship 869 872.

Chen Ning eventually brought evidence against White Brows. Following a joint petition from Qilin, Thunder God, and Crimson Refinement True God, Yutian sentenced White Brows to a hundred years of confinement at Reflection Peak 894.

Ancient God World and Chen Ning’s Recruitment

Yutian discovered the Ancient God World and initially sent his own disciples to explore it. When their fate remained uncertain, he opened the expedition to the four territories. Because only cultivators below the God Realm could enter, he offered a reward to anyone who recovered an Ancient God’s Divine Spark or a True God Dharma Body cultivation method 809 810 829.

He personally opened the entrance and admitted ninety-nine cultivators. Only about a dozen returned, without the treasures he wanted. The loss of so many experts also harmed the Dragon-Tiger Realm’s providence and therefore Yutian’s interests 811 832.

Chen Ning subsequently presented him with the Divine Spark Fruit formula and requested the Azure Lotus of Life. Yutian recognized the formula’s value, though its demanding requirements made production difficult. Despite Duan Tianya’s accusations against Chen Ning, Yutian recruited him, granted him a Heaven Character Token, and ordered him to take control of Unknowing Island 847 849.

Yutian also gave Chen Ning a Divine Spark Fruit. He later admitted that this apparent generosity had been part of his plan to take Chen Ning’s life 860 928.

Blood Devil Pursuit and Exposure

Yutian ordered Chen Ning to kill the Blood Devil King and retrieve his Devil Core, later extending the order to the Blood Devil clansmen accompanying him. The assignment also served to obstruct Willow God’s efforts to atone by transforming the Blood Devil Race 896 904 920.

After Qilin’s faction framed Chen Ning for colluding with the Blood Devil Race, Yutian ordered his capture and the blood devils’ extermination. He then personally intervened to prevent other gods from killing Chen Ning, presenting the act as protection 911 919.

In private, Yutian revealed that he needed Chen Ning alive so he could refine his immense luck and Perfect Divine Spark. He also disclosed his knowledge of Chen Ning’s dealings with Qi Yu and Thunder God, as well as his acquisition of the God of Deception’s Divine Spark 919 920.

Chen Ning exposed Yutian’s secret alliance with Qilin through an image preserved in Qilin’s brocade box. Willow God intervened when Yutian attempted to seize him, then identified Yutian as the true beneficiary of the Innate Origin theft 920 921.

Yutian countered by threatening Willow God’s lover and son, whom his faction had kept under surveillance as hostages. Willow God agreed to remain inside Yutian’s formation in exchange for sending Chen Ning away 922.

Rebellion and White Bone Mountain

Chen Guan rallied Willow God’s followers and spread word of Yutian’s crimes. The resulting opposition grew across the four territories. News that Chen Ning had killed Qilin left Yutian shaken and furious at the loss of his most loyal concealed ally 927 928.

Yutian recalled White Brows from confinement and mobilized his forces against Unknowing Island and the Azure Cloud Sect. He also gave Duan Tianya a Divine Spark Fruit so that his disciple could convincingly impersonate him, misleading enemy informants while Yutian personally went to White Bone Mountain 928 930.

There, he subdued the Blood Devil King and threatened Chen Ning’s friends and the Blood Devil Race to force Chen Ning to appear alone. Chen Ning offered himself for refinement in exchange for their release, then used the Great Dao of Time to send Zhao Xiuxiu away 930 931.

Defeat and Death

Willow God arrived to stop Yutian. Their battle escalated into a clash between the Ancient Tree of Nature and Battle Saint Physique Dharma Bodies. Although Yutian wounded Willow God with his halberd, he found the Ancient Tree of Nature difficult to overcome in a prolonged fight 932 933 934.

When Willow God committed to mutual destruction, Yutian begged forgiveness and called him “senior brother.” The apparent remorse was feigned: he exploited Willow God’s hesitation to strike the Dharma Body’s vital point. Both Dharma Bodies collapsed, but Willow God was left unable to fight while Yutian remained capable of continuing 934.

Despite retaining only half his peak combat strength, Yutian shattered Chen Ning’s Kui Ox Dharma Body and began preparing a refinement formation. The Blood Devil King sacrificed himself to obstruct it and passed his inherited power to Chen Ning 935.

Using that legacy and the Dao of Deception, Chen Ning deceived himself into becoming Lingyu True God in his own mind and wielded Lingyu’s power. Yutian exhausted his origin on a final punch, but Chen Ning overwhelmed him with an azure dragon of Divine Power. His Primordial Spirit then attempted to possess Chen Ning, only to be caught and refined by Yao Li 936.

After his death, White Brows, Crimson Refinement True God, and their allied forces surrendered. Willow God became the Dragon-Tiger Realm’s guardian, Lingyu’s name was cleared, and the Blood Devil Race was accepted rather than treated as a cursed people 937.

Personality

Yutian presented himself as a majestic patron who rewarded talent and acted for the Dragon-Tiger Realm’s prosperity. In practice, he preferred divided subordinates: he welcomed the conflict between Unknowing Island and Crimson Refinement True God because a united power structure did not suit him 811 848.

His ultimate ambition was to become a God King and secure a place in the Central Divine Domain. He justified sacrificing innocents and former companions as necessary steps toward that goal, insisting that his rule had brought prosperity. He also envisioned using mass-produced Divine Spark Fruits to create an army of gods loyal only to him 921 934.

He could nevertheless feel genuine attachment. Qilin’s death devastated him, and he recognized the loyalty and devotion to personal bonds shared by Qilin and Chen Ning. That sentiment did not extend to restraint: he threatened hostages and exploited Willow God’s compassion to survive 928 932 934.
