Background / History

Long Yuan is a transmigrator who awakens an apparently worthless Illusory Dragon Martial Soul. As an orphan with Soul Master aptitude, he is adopted by Red Mountain Academy teacher Lin Ximeng. He recognizes Tang Wulin and discovers that touching Tang Wulin during a Golden Dragon King bloodline eruption lets him absorb part of that power. 1 2

After learning that releasing his martial soul stabilizes Tang Wulin's condition, Long Yuan treats him almost daily for two and a half years. The process solidifies the Illusory Dragon into a White Dragon and grants Long Yuan a Blood Essence Soul Ring. He eventually absorbs Tang Wulin's remaining Golden Dragon King Bloodline, freeing Tang Wulin from the recurring pain. 4 5 6

Long Yuan studies forging under Mang Tian, later advancing under Feng Wuyu, Zhuo Shi, Zhen Hua, Mu Ye, and Leng Yaozhu. His cultivation combines Golden Dragon King Bloodline refinement, dragon-soul absorption, Body Sect methods, elemental control, practical combat, and increasingly advanced forging. 61 112 160 181 289

While exploring Dragon Valley with Gu Yue, he absorbs dragon souls and receives their voluntary body-tempering energy. The Golden Dragon King's remnant soul tasks him with protecting the Silver Dragon King and eventually avenging the Golden Dragon King against the God Realm's Supreme Gods. 36 230 232 234

He later acquires the Golden Ancient Tree Martial Soul and Seed of Nature at the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, gaining plant-based soul spirits and responsibility for restoring the Douluo Continent's vitality. 287 289 300

Long Yuan ultimately establishes the Dragon God Realm, brings allies and soul beasts into it for cultivation, and plans to found an academy stronger than Shrek Academy. He later merges the realm with multiple Small Worlds, raises it into the Ancestral Star, and becomes its God Emperor. 447 740 741
