Appearance
His physical body is an enormous, plump white silkworm that can curl up so completely that it resembles a white jade platform 15.
- Head and eyes: A large, rounded head with tiny golden eyes 15.
- Segmented body: Wang Rui pins down his last segment while threatening him over his teasing 24.
- Within Huo Yuqing’s Spiritual World: His power appears as ten enormous golden rings that develop into jade-like spheres of light 30.
- External spiritual manifestation: Combines nine remaining clusters of origin Spiritual Power into a golden humanoid resembling Huo Yuqing, complete with a Shrek Academy uniform 127.
Personality
Tian Meng is a sociable joker whose shameless banter makes him one of Wang Rui’s few genuine friends. He enjoys embarrassing the Auspicious Beast, especially after discovering that Wang Rui has mistaken Huo Yuqing for a boy. He deliberately gives her Simulation to maintain the disguise, eventually earning a beating when Wang Rui discovers his involvement 16 30 101.
His humor gives way to seriousness when Huo Yuqing’s safety or Ice Empress’s survival is at stake. He protects his host from Ice Empress’s attack, explains the dangers of martial-soul fusion without minimizing them, and guards Huo Yuqing’s Sea of Consciousness during the procedure 128 130 136.
His love for Ice Empress is intense and unreciprocated in their depicted exchanges. He wants to save her from her approaching tribulation and share immortality with her, but her willingness to surrender that opportunity for Snow Empress deeply wounds him. Unable to accept her devotion easily, he initially accuses her of plotting to escape 127 128 132.
He also despises the use of vulnerable Soul Beasts to produce Secret Method Soul Bones. Although he celebrates Wang Rui’s retaliation against the perpetrators, he becomes cautious about his wording when he remembers that Huo Yuqing is human 104.
Abilities & Skills
Spiritual Power and Detection
His greatest strength is the immense quantity of Spiritual Power accumulated through million-year cultivation, rather than refined offensive technique 128 129.
- Wide-area sensing: Extends his perception across an area several thousand meters in diameter in the Extreme North 127.
- Shared perception: Allows Huo Yuqing to sense the surroundings through his Spiritual Power 127.
- Navigation: Detects dangerous Soul Beasts and calculates escape routes through the ice plains 127 129.
- Restraint: Envelops Ice Empress in viscous Spiritual Power, temporarily restricting her movements 128 129.
- Limits: His racial limitations prevent him from learning many techniques for wielding Spiritual Power. Despite his enormous reserves, he has not achieved tangible, materialized Spiritual Power 128 129.
- Endurance cost: Sustained detection without a body places a heavy burden on him; the escape from Ice Empress’s descendants exhausts him 130.
Simulation
Simulation is an innate Ice Silkworm skill that even a thousand-year member of the species can provide. Tian Meng substitutes it into Huo Yuqing’s four-skill selection before their fusion finishes 30.
- Conceals Huo Yuqing’s features sufficiently to maintain her disguise as a boy 30 101.
- Defeats Wang Rui’s attempts to see through the disguise despite his exceptional spiritual strength 101.
- Can imitate the Imperial Auspicious Beast’s aura, which Tian Meng proposes as a deterrent against Ice Empress 128.
- Helps conceal Huo Yuqing during their flight from the Ice Jade Scorpions 129.
- Wang Rui suspects the skill may conceal a secret beyond Douluo’s normal limits, but Tian Meng knows nothing about such an origin; no divine connection is confirmed 101.
Soul-Ring Fusion and Power Sealing
As a spiritual-type Soul Beast with comparatively gentle power, Tian Meng can seal his energy to accommodate a weak human host 130.
- Provides Huo Yuqing with four Soul Skills and a blank ice-attributed martial soul 31 131.
- Integrates sealed origin power according to the maximum her body can withstand, improving her physique and Soul Power 31.
- Retains consciousness after becoming a soul ring and can manifest externally in spiritual form 127 131.
- Can help seal Ice Empress’s much more violent energy, but cannot eliminate the pain and pressure of fusion 130.
- The blank martial soul can accommodate only one additional soul through the proposed Wisdom Soul Ring method 132.
Spiritual Protection and Fusion Support
Tian Meng uses his power to shield Huo Yuqing and stabilize interactions between powerful energies 45 128 136.
- Protects her from Ice Empress’s destructive sound waves and intercepts a direct attack 127 128.
- Creates an enormous ice-blue cocoon around Huo Yuqing and Wang Rui, containing their auras and Soul Power while their energies merge 45.
- Works with Ice Empress and Bi Ji to make the martial-soul fusion safer and more efficient 134.
- Shields Huo Yuqing’s Sea of Consciousness from Ice Empress’s leaking violent power during the official fusion 136.
Persuasion and Cultivation Knowledge
He recruits Ice Empress by combining evidence, appeals to pride, and the promise of survival rather than relying solely on force 131.
- Cites the revival and immortality of Soul Beasts associated with Sea God Tang San as precedents for his plan 131.
- Explains how Star Dou’s resources and Huo Yuqing’s exceptional fortune improve their prospects 131.
- Recognizes Snow Empress’s intended use of a transforming Snow Lotus embryo as an alternative martial-soul vessel 152.
- Guides Huo Yuqing through changes in her Spiritual World after Ice Empress’s fusion 154.
Equipment / Items
- Discarded shell/remains: A thin white film used to bind Ice Empress’s body, including her pincers and tail. Unlike his temporary spiritual restraint, it prevents her from breaking free during the capture 129 131.
- Sealed origin Spiritual Power: Stored within Huo Yuqing for gradual absorption and used by Tian Meng for detection, external manifestation, and protection 31 127 130.
History
Finding a Human Host
Born in the Extreme North, Tian Meng later develops a friendship with Wang Rui over several thousand years. Wang Rui initially approaches him for practical reasons, but the relationship becomes genuine. Tian Meng worries that helping him leave will bring punishment upon Wang Rui, unaware that the Auspicious Beast has already discussed the arrangement with Di Tian 16 132.
With his lifespan nearly exhausted, Tian Meng needs a suitable human host. Wang Rui identifies a child leaving the White Tiger Duke Estate as the Child of Destiny and recommends the child’s exceptional spiritual martial soul, dismissing Tian Meng’s concerns about physical weakness 15.
Becoming Huo Yuqing’s Soul Ring
Tian Meng offers Huo Yuqing a million-year soul ring and fuses with her. The resulting Spiritual Shock attracts Electrolux’s spiritual imprint, which enters Wang Rui rather than Huo Yuqing 21 24.
Inside Huo Yuqing’s Spiritual World, Tian Meng discovers that his host is a girl traveling in disguise. Her gender does not affect his choice of host, but he delights in Wang Rui’s mistake and adjusts his skill selection to help her preserve the disguise 30.
He subsequently supports her cultivation and her growing connection with Wang Rui. His concealment scheme is exposed when Wang Rui enters her Sea of Consciousness and identifies Simulation as the reason he failed to recognize her disguise 31 45 101.
Capturing and Recruiting Ice Empress
Tian Meng guides Huo Yuqing into the Extreme North to find a powerful soul for her blank ice martial soul. He chooses Ice Empress both for her strength and because he hopes to save her before her next Great Tribulation 127.
He exposes his million-year power to lure her with the prospect of consuming him. When she attacks Huo Yuqing, he intercepts the strike, restrains Ice Empress spiritually, and traps her in his discarded shell. Ice Empress summons her descendants, forcing Tian Meng and Huo Yuqing to flee south for an entire day 127 128 129 130.
Once clear of the core region, he explains his God-Creation Plan: nurture Huo Yuqing into a god who can revive her Soul Beast companions and grant them endless life. He claims a sixty-percent chance of success, rising to eighty percent with Ice Empress’s participation; these are his estimates, not established outcomes 131.
Ice Empress accepts the plan’s potential but asks to give her place to Snow Empress. This exposes her love for Snow Empress and leaves Tian Meng devastated. Wang Rui intervenes in the negotiations, and Ice Empress ultimately agrees on the condition that Snow Empress receive help if she fails her tribulation 132 134.
After Ice Empress’s Fusion
Tian Meng collaborates with Bi Ji and Ice Empress on the procedure, then protects Huo Yuqing’s Sea of Consciousness throughout the fusion. He later confirms that the merger succeeded 134 136 154.
He accompanies Ice Empress when she questions Wang Rui about Snow Empress and tries to mediate her hostility toward the Auspicious Beast. When Rong Nianbing unexpectedly appears in Huo Yuqing’s Sea of Consciousness, Tian Meng challenges the intruder and demands his identity 152 154 155.
Relationships
- Huo Yuqing — Host and partner in the God-Creation Plan. He strengthens her body, supplies her first soul ring, guides her cultivation, and protects her consciousness 31 130 136.
- Wang Rui / Three-Eyed Golden Lion — Best friend and ally. Their friendship combines shared interests, genuine affection, relentless teasing, and Wang Rui’s threats to turn him into food 15 16 24.
- Ice Empress / Bingbing — The Soul Beast he loves and hopes to save. She initially regards him as food and later joins the plan, but explicitly favors Snow Empress over him 128 131 132.
- Snow Empress / Heavenly Snow Woman — A feared powerhouse and romantic rival. He believes approaching her could end with him being crushed into “ice silkworm juice” 132.
- Di Tian — An authority behind Star Dou’s involvement. Di Tian questions Wang Rui’s attachment to Tian Meng but supports the broader plan to cultivate a god favorable to Soul Beasts 16 130.
- Bi Ji — Collaborator in preparing and safeguarding Ice Empress’s fusion with Huo Yuqing 134.
- Rong Nianbing — An unexpected visitor whom Tian Meng initially confronts as a potential threat to his host’s Sea of Consciousness 155.

“But now, I can't die. I've found a new path, Bingbing. … A path... to immortality together with you!” 128
Trivia
- His scent and energy make him resemble an enormous heavenly treasure; even Wang Rui struggles with the temptation to take a bite 16 127.
- He has difficulty distinguishing human genders and initially relies on Wang Rui’s mistaken assessment of Huo Yuqing 30.
- He actively encourages the idea of Huo Yuqing and Wang Rui as a couple, worrying that his careless remarks might cost his best friend a “future wife” 104.
- His objection to the Titan Snow Demon King as a martial-soul candidate includes the fear that Huo Yuqing would become an unattractive “female gorilla” 127.
