Background

Jiang Yang is a transmigrated individual whose knowledge of the original storyline lets him identify Ye Fan as a reborn Son of the Plane. Before the apocalypse, he deliberately targets Ye Fan's opportunities, companions, and sister in order to alter the difficulty of Ye Fan's path 2 16.

He injects the Captain America Serum before the apocalypse, giving himself exceptional physical ability. He subsequently plunders the Black Gold Ancient Blade, Inferior Chainmail, and System Space upgrades, then gains the god-tier Spirit of the Plunderer and Plunderer's Insight after taking Ye Qingwei from Ye Fan's side 5 6 11.

His greatest early gain is the Dragon Totem inherited profession and its associated Dragon Totem, which were originally tied to Ye Fan's opportunity. This establishes Jiang Yang as an exceptionally powerful Level 1 Professional from the beginning of the apocalypse 19.

Appearance

Jiang Yang's ordinary appearance is not extensively described. His combat forms are defined by increasingly pronounced draconic and deathly traits.

• Golden vertical pupils, often threaded with electricity in dragonized states 348.
• Dragon claws, scales, golden-red markings, and overwhelming Dragon Might when his Dragon Bloodline is active 161 314.
• Can transform into a Little Dragon Person; under Titan Serum and Dragon Transformation, he can grow to nearly ten meters tall 136 555.
• Death God's Physique surrounds him with Death Qi and permits recovery through continuous killing 568 569.
• Following the Wood Spirit Treasure transformation, his skin is described as flawless and jade-like; the Black Gold Ancient Blade initially cannot break it 265.

Personality

Jiang Yang is calculating, opportunistic, and strongly motivated by power. He evaluates people through their potential, future importance, and usefulness to his plans, whether recruiting enemies of Sons of the Plane, maintaining arrangements with Lü Li, or hunting new Sons of Destiny 49 93 150.

He is direct and ruthlessly efficient when opposed. He kills Brother Yong's gang to free Li Shun, threatens Xu Teng despite an alliance with the Brotherhood, and openly intends to eliminate the Brain Bug when an opportunity arises 16 96 290. His expansion of the Assassin Guild follows the same principle: resistance is met with immediate lethal force rather than negotiation 347.

Despite this ruthlessness, Jiang Yang is protective of people he considers his own. He saves Li Shun and Zhang Yao from a Licker, defends Zhenbing Village, and reacts violently when the Insectoid Race threatens his teammates 19 255 290. He is also willing to act innocent or conceal his own growth when openness would destabilize his group 229.

His relationships can be manipulative and coercive. In particular, he pressures Mo Li through compromising photographs while seeking to recruit her, reflecting his willingness to exploit personal leverage for control 49 122.

Abilities & Skills

Plunderer System

Jiang Yang's defining advantage is his ability to plunder opportunities, professions, luck, and later Laws from Sons of the Plane and other powerful targets.

• Spirit of the Plunderer — passively seizes part of a Son of the Plane's luck through continued plundering and may eventually devour the Son of the Plane 11.
• Plunderer's Insight — god-tier passive skill that reads targets' information, including attributes, professions, abilities, loyalty, and storyline information when available 11 176.
• Plunders Yi Qingqing's Time Assassin profession, causing his life level to surge toward Level 7 628.
• Can plunder Laws directly, including Yi Ze's Path of Mountain Law 667.
• His information is difficult for other systems to analyze; Liuli's System finds most of his details unreadable 357.

Dragon Totem and Dragon Bloodline

The Dragon Totem is Jiang Yang's core profession and source of his exceptional physical body.

• Grants extreme base attributes from Level 1 onward, along with Dragon Might 19.
• Dragon Might — life-level suppression that can overwhelm other wills and intimidate enemies 129 614.
• Dragon Breath — releases destructive dragon fire 100 237.
• Dragon's Claws and Tear — transform his hands into claws capable of shredding opponents 314.
• Dragon Transformation — enables his Little Dragon Person form and can be combined with Titan Serum for a giant combat body 136 554 555.
• The Dragon Totem can unseal power to stabilize his body after dangerous rapid advancement 628.

Elemental Abilities

Jiang Yang possesses Water, Ice, and Lightning Abilities, an unusual combination in a setting where most Ability Users have only one 100 237.

• Water Ability — gathers and manipulates water elements; later develops into Water Law applications 133 786.
• Ice Ability — freezes enemies and, with the Wood Spirit Treasure, provides amplified environmental perception 177 554.
• Lightning Ability — one of his most lethal powers; it later breaks through after he endures and channels a Lightning Storm 141 619.
• Uses Nether Step to move through groups of Professionals undetected 473.

Wood Spirit Treasure and Wood Law

Jiang Yang becomes owner of a Spirit of Grass and Wood, earning the designation “King of Plants” and gaining a plant-based power source 263.

• Shares energy with surrounding plants, replenishing mental energy during extended battles 554 562.
• Uses plant perception to detect enemies across the surrounding terrain 554.
• The Wood Spirit Treasure reinforces his body with resilience and high-speed regeneration 265.
• Wood Law can rapidly heal severe damage and counteract hostile energy 613 615.

Death Forbidden Zone and Death Law

Jiang Yang possesses the Death Forbidden Zone, a personal domain that becomes increasingly fused with him.

• Can borrow its power outside the domain and temporarily turn an area into an extension of the Death Forbidden Zone, where he can alter space and terrain 386.
• Summons Level 4 Skeleton Soldiers by transferring mental power to the Death Forbidden Zone 555.
• Absorbs three God-King-level Time Law Fragments into the zone, reshaping it and granting Death God Law and Wood Supreme Law 628.
• Uses Death Law offensively through scythes, death beams, soul attacks, and sacrificial effects 678 711 901.
• Gains the ability to select a Son of the Plane within the Death Forbidden Zone by concentrating its Destiny on a chosen life form 814.

Time Law and Life and Death Foresight

After confronting Yi Qingqing, Jiang Yang gains access to time-based power.

• Life and Death Foresight — predicts impending danger and enemy actions, allowing him to counter ambushes and Shalomir's copied abilities 553.
• Breaks through Yi Qingqing's Time Stop through physical strength and abilities 593.
• Uses Time Law to slow opponents, accelerate attacks, and cut away lifespan within the Death Forbidden Zone 661 689.
• His Time Law maintains Time Acceleration in the Death Forbidden Zone, rapidly aging trapped enemies 661.

Path of Slaughter

The Path of Slaughter makes Jiang Yang's numerous powers function as a unified killing system.

• Gives him intuitive mastery of killing methods and combat techniques rather than a single direct attack 687.
• Allows his abilities and Laws to merge and operate at their limits in battle 687 786.
• Risks turning him into a slave to slaughter through an “enigma barrier,” though Bai Qi later recognizes that Jiang Yang maintains control over the path 878 879.
• Reaching Level 9 elevates all of his primary Laws to God-tier 851.
