Background

Fifteen years before the system’s activation, Lin Yan transmigrated into the world as an infant and was adopted by a childless couple. Their deaths in a car accident left him alone at ten; he survived through temporary work, exploitation, and frequent dismissal. On his fifteenth birthday, the Myriad Worlds Sign-in System activated. 1 5

After Lin Yan annihilates a Gluttonous aircraft in Tianhe City, police officer Qi Lin encounters him and learns of his isolation. She celebrates his birthday, calls herself his older sister and family, and gives him a home. Lin Yan accepts the arrangement despite initially remaining guarded. 3 5 6

His origins remain uncertain even to major civilizations. He possesses a mysterious body mark possibly connected to the Deno and Solar Civilizations, while the Merlot Heavenly Court Library verifies him as the future King of Angel Nebula. Babalonglong later identifies him as the Sovereign who destroyed the Mottled Blue Civilization in the distant past, though Lin Yan’s own past remains unresolved. 285 442 559

Appearance

Lin Yan is repeatedly noted for his striking, androgynous beauty and composed presence. His appearance and presentation change across worlds and transformations, from a delicate youth to a taller, more mature figure carrying an aura that unsettles or inspires those around him. 1 373 374

• Fair skin and sharply defined, exceptionally handsome features. 1 883
• Azure short hair during his early Super Seminary period. 22
• Black, obsidian-like hair and dark eyes in later worlds. 727 830
• His original appearance is linked to an encounter with a throne-bound figure identical to himself. 216 222
• After his later transformation, he is described as more mature, steady, and imposing than before. 373 374
• Often wears white robes or white clothing when acting as the Flame God or Immortal Envoy. 492 609

Personality

Lin Yan is calm, detached, and difficult to provoke. He rejects the title of savior and refuses to involve himself in conflicts merely because others expect him to; his stated boundary is that others must not cause disturbances in his home or domain. 116 174

Despite his indifference to acclaim, he is not cruel. He protects Qi Lin, saves Lena and Angel Leng, helps Qi Lin stabilize her aura, and recognizes the worth of people such as Saber and Rider rather than treating them as tools. 96 257 374 1005 1118

He favors a quiet life of sleeping late, eating well, making tea, and avoiding unnecessary work. This laziness coexists with decisive action whenever he chooses to act. 174 638

Later journeys reveal a more playful and emotionally open side. He teases Angel Yan, supports friendships in the ReLIFE world, and gradually acknowledges that he may have developed feelings for Hishiro Chizuru. 177 965 974
