Background
Tang Wulin grew up studying Tang San’s life through official history textbooks and memorizing the Tang Sect’s ancestral precepts. He claims to have been able to recite the general principles of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record backward since childhood and to recite thirty thousand words of ancestral precepts daily. During an autumn field trip, he visited the former Spirit Hall, which had become a tourist attraction in his era 1.
He is already a member of the Myriad Ages Douluo Group when Qin Zhaoye assumes ownership. The member list identifies him as “Third Era · Tang Wulin,” linking his real identity to the handle “Ancestral Precepts Recitation Champion.” When Tang San joins, Tang Wulin enthusiastically pays his respects—only to discover that his revered founder is still attending a junior academy and has not yet established the Tang Sect 1.
Personality
Tang Wulin is fiercely proud of the Tang Sect and initially treats its founder with unquestioning reverence. He defends the First Era against Lan Xuanyu’s mockery, promises the Third Era Tang Sect’s loyalty to Tang San, and assures him that the sect remains the foremost sect under heaven in his own time. His admiration also colors his view of Tang Hao: even the revelation that the ancestor forged farm tools earns an enthusiastic defense 1 14 33.
His excitement frequently derails conversations. He floods the chat with questions, makes exuberant claims of kinship, and eagerly joins wagers and red-packet scrambles. Nevertheless, a threatened mute is enough to make him immediately quiet down. Beneath the joking, his memorized ancestral knowledge becomes practical evidence when the group helps Tang San locate Tang Hao 2 8 11 26.

Story Role / Major Arcs
| Chapters | Event | Tang Wulin’s involvement |
|---|---|---|
| 1 2 | Tang San joins the group | Greets the founder with a flood of reverent messages, learns that the Tang Sect does not yet exist, and goes off topic asking for technical instruction. After his mute expires, he promises to stay on topic. |
| 3 | First historical deviation | Alerts Tang San that an official history entry has turned into a gray file after Qin Zhaoye’s victory over Cen Ao. |
| 4 5 | Spirit Hall revelations | Helps keep the Spirit Hall tourist-ticket post prominent for Bibi Dong’s arrival and mocks the Suotuo Branch Hall for raiding an already emptied trove. |
| 6 | Tier Two group functions | Claims a red packet and applies to open a pool titled “When will the founding ancestor forgive me?” Qin Zhaoye rejects it because the outcome is indeterminable. |
| 8 | Ah Yin special session | Calls Ah Yin “great-grandma,” retreats when threatened with a mute, and wagers 1,000 conversation points that Tang Hao will return to the fray. |
| 10 | Betting payout | Reports receiving more than 380 points, including his stake, after betting 300 on “action.” |
| 11 | Cross-timeline gift attempt | Tries to send Tang San a chest of Third Era specialties. The chest exceeds the delivery limit; a lightweight voucher passes through instead but becomes unusable in the First Era. |
| 15 16 | Expanded group activities | Loses the largest red envelope to Xiao Wu and unsuccessfully applies to become a spectator-gallery commentator. |
| 25 26 | Tang San’s father-search | Encourages Tang San to consider a fate-changing order, then contributes ancestral-home clues to the research locating Tang Hao. The confirmed research thread distributes 150 Talking Capital among the owner and posters. |
| 30 | History becomes changeable | Celebrates the shift from examining old records to watching new history being written. Changes his avatar to the countdown for the upcoming Second Era recruitment. |
| 31 32 | Father-son confrontation | Bets that Tang Hao will lose patience first and promises to copy the ancestral precepts backward ten times if Tang San shows his hand first. Tang San initiates the confrontation, and Lan Xuanyu reminds him of the wager. |
| 33 | Tang Hao joins the group | Welcomes Tang Hao, defends his years as a village blacksmith, and eagerly anticipates the next complete-file retrospective. |
