Background / History

Yan Lingji served among Lin Hao's subordinates and accompanied him during the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association's early expansion, including his inspection of its Soul Tool production base and his travels around Heaven Dou City 28 30.

While exploring the Flame God Sect ruins, her fire and illusion attributes identified her as a possible successor to the Flame God's inheritance. Although she feared that her talent would otherwise limit her future growth, she chose to enter the Red Palace and accept its risks 38 39.

The eighth-generation Flame God intervened to evolve her Martial Soul. Yan Lingji subsequently completed the inheritance, becoming a Level 96 Super Douluo and Second Level God inheritor 40 41.
