Background

Lin Aolong emerged after escaping a mental hospital and publicly declaring that he would participate in America’s Earth Ranking Tournament. He identified himself as a reborn Black Dragon Earth Immortal, attributing inconsistencies in his supposed past-life memories to the “mystery of the womb.” 67 71

Yan Anqing saw value in Lin Aolong’s unconventional ideas for the Timeline Correction Project. After Lin proposed that future cultivation might involve eating mushrooms to cultivate Limitless Cells, Yan granted him unspecified “opportunities” and subtly modified his appearance. 69

By the time he lived in the Zhaofu Well base, Lin had become a fire-controlling superpowered individual. He pursued greater mastery through meditation while cultivating the image of an aloof, reincarnated immortal. 81

Appearance

Lin Aolong is a tall, elegant man whose presentation often imitates that of an ancient cultivator. He alternates between modern clothing and elaborate historical-style attire. 291 609

• Long, cloudlike hair and dark, clear eyes when dressed for the Twin Star Ranking Tournament. 291
• Wore a dark cyan brocade python robe and a silver auspicious-cloud belt during the Fierce Battle segment. 291
• Appeared tall and thin in a dark yellow robe after becoming physically aged; his eyes carried a weathered, timeworn quality. 609
• The Wishing Tree’s effects left him with the appearance of a man in his early twenties despite calling himself an old man. 612
• After his Tier 4 breakthrough, his purple blood caused him to emit a faint glow in darkness. 239 240
• After lightning exposure, his pupils became shattered golden vertical slits and the whites of his eyes turned black. 367

Personality

Lin Aolong is theatrical, prideful, and intensely attached to his self-fashioned identity as the Black Dragon Earth Immortal. He frequently recites poems before battle, uses grandiose titles, and frames ordinary events as remnants of a former immortal life. 71 291

His eccentricity does not make him incapable of reflection. When Zhou Yun stopped him from immediately taking the Dragon Seed True Blood, Lin recognized that the item should be awarded according to contribution rather than impulse. 239

He is highly competitive and envious of exceptional power, particularly when confronted with Ma Ran’s growth or Sword Head Yan’s overwhelming strength. Rather than remaining passive, he repeatedly seeks methods to improve himself. 358 361 613

Lin is also loyal to Yan Anqing and protective of his allies. He trusts Yan God’s arrangements without reservation, offers Sword Spirit points to teammates, and is prepared to stall the Dragon Race at the cost of his life so that Situ Yi can revive Yu Hongyi. 368 611 612

Abilities & Skills

Flame Manipulation

Lin is a Flame Superstring Awakener capable of generating and controlling powerful flames.

• Uses surrounding flames to create intense heat and pressure while meditating. 81
• Easily incinerates an opponent during the Fierce Battle segment. 291
• Possesses immense destructive power as a Flame Superstring Awakener. 239
• His Flame mutates into black fire after prolonged exposure to lightning. 367

Lightning Resistance

Repeated lightning strikes during the Sword Head Game altered Lin’s body.

• Can endure lightning damage and pain more effectively than before. 367
• The resistance was acquired through dangerous exposure rather than being an innate immunity. 367

Soul Devourer: Extreme

A secret combat technique used against the invading lizardmen.

• Forms a crystal-clear air blade in his hand. 610
• Greatly enhances his speed, allowing him to tear through the air barrier and move faster than transformed lizardmen can respond. 610
• Used to execute Chao Nian through dozens of rapid strikes and to kill the lizardman leader. 610

Insight into Endings

A “golden finger” personally tailored for him by Yan Anqing.

• Allows Lin to perceive possible future outcomes when making decisions. 611
• Revealed that accepting the lizardman leader’s proposed truce would lead to the leader’s return after the Eternal Spring Poem expired and the planet’s subsequent slaughter. 610
• Lin considers the ability suited to his own tendency to be impulsive and easily deceived. 611

Ao Long Nei Jing

A cultivation manual Lin assembled and publicly taught.

• Its recitation improves the cultivation speed of those with compatible Spiritual Roots. 338 353
• His explanation enabled Mololo, Noble Old Black, and First Prince Pure to begin cultivating and physically improve. 338
• Lin later discovered that the manual functions as a password unlocking implanted “superpower password strains,” which remaster the user’s heart and body. 339
• The method can ultimately help qualified users reach peak Tier 4 after repeated focused recitation. 339

Temporary Global Mental Connection

Sword Head Yan temporarily connected Lin’s consciousness to all humans on Earth through Purple Heaven Palace.

• Allowed him to transmit information to humanity about Purple Heaven Palace, the Faceless Ones, and the Scavengers. 354
• Increased his thought-processing speed to the point that the world appeared nearly still. 355
• Enabled him to recall identities, backgrounds, affiliations, and major experiences of Earthlings connected through the network. 355
• The connection was a temporary effect created through upgraded Skynet and related technology. 355

Equipment / Items

• Corrupted · Dragon Seed True Blood — Promotion item Lin consumed to reach Tier 4; turned his blood purple. 239
• Three-foot Green Peak sword — Sword carried during the Twin Star Ranking Tournament’s Fierce Battle segment. 291
• The Classic of the Way and its Virtue — Exchanged for 1,000 Sword Spirit points to increase cultivation speed; Lin retained some points for later use. 368

Relationships

• Yan Anqing / Yan God — Benefactor and object of near-unconditional faith. Yan valued Lin’s ideas, supplied him with opportunities, granted him Insight into Endings, and elevated him as the public Dao Ancestor. 69 356 611
• Zhou Yun — SYS associate and fellow fan of Qing An Yan. Zhou restrained Lin from rashly claiming Dragon Seed True Blood. 239 352
• Ma Ran — Fellow Earthling and SYS member. Lin respects Ma Ran’s strength but openly envies his True Blood of the Black King and extraordinary combat power. 291 613
• Yu Hongyi — Trusted comrade whom Lin deeply admires. Lin was willing to use the Wishing Tree to resurrect him and hoped they would fight together again. 611 615
• Situ Yi — Ally from another plane. Lin protected him from the Dragon Race, urged him to develop his golden finger, and later welcomed him into the SYS circle. 610 612 616
• Ying Kai — SYS comrade whom Lin calls a “Fellow Daoist Tribulation Survivor.” 267
• Josephine Haskar — SYS ally who witnessed Lin’s Ao Long Nei Jing lecture and doubted its authenticity before its unexpected success. 338
• Sword Head Yan — A Xianxia-timeline identity of Yan Anqing whom Lin regarded with awe, envy, and fear after witnessing the apparent gap between their powers. 354 355

Dao Ancestor of the End of Dharma

Lin’s Ao Long Nei Jing unexpectedly helps Radiant People begin cultivation, spreading his reputation across Planet Lord OL and Lianzhen World. His public lectures establish him as the figure many call the Dao Ancestor, though the manual’s true mechanism originates from Yan Anqing’s implanted strains. 338 339 340

Purple Heaven Palace Incident

Sword Head Game

Refusing to remain weak after witnessing the power gap between himself and Sword Head Yan, Lin enters the Super Gene Potion—Dragonbloodline experiment and the Sword Head Game.

Dragon Race Crisis

On another planet, Lin confronts and kills invading lizardmen after Situ Yi temporarily restores his youth. Faced with the approaching Dragon Race, he relies on Yan God’s support, prepares to sacrifice himself to protect Situ Yi, reunites with Ma Ran, and uses the Wishing Tree to resurrect Yu Hongyi. 609 610 612 615
