Background

Ye Fan was a grassroots student from a small town who entered Linjiang University through hard work. Before the apocalypse, he was Tang Ya's boyfriend and Ye Qingwei's brother; he worked and saved money for Ye Qingwei's medical treatment. 1 4

He was reborn with memories of seven years spent surviving the apocalypse. Believing that he had returned five days before the disaster, he intended to reclaim the Black Gold Ancient Blade, obtain the Dragon Totem inheritance, and alter his former fate. 9 10

Jiang Yang disrupted these plans before Ye Fan could act. Tang Ya emptied Ye Fan's savings, a job lured him away from the university, and Jiang Yang purchased the Black Gold Ancient Blade and claimed the Dragon Totem Secret Realm inheritance first. 1 3 18 19

Appearance

After becoming a Fallen Lifeform, Ye Fan could alter his body into increasingly inhuman combat forms.

• In his revealed true form, his body was composed of black tissue and thick tentacles, with a distorted face, enlarged stature, and tough leather-like armor. 133
• He could grow tentacles from pustules across his body. 106 107
• His Fallen Mimicry allowed his form to adapt to the environment and combat conditions. 132
• His lightning awakening caused visible currents to course through his body, while scorching his Fallen Life tissue. 137

Personality

Ye Fan was driven by his determination to overturn the losses of his former life. His rebirth gave him confidence in his own knowledge and combat experience, but Jiang Yang's interference repeatedly destabilized him and eroded his belief that he alone understood the future. 9 29 110 111

He could be calculating and adaptive, such as proposing temporary cooperation with Jiang Yang and planning to use the Brotherhood for his own group. 36 106 However, his hostility toward Jiang Yang, attachment to Tang Ya, and resentment over Ye Qingwei's allegiance made him volatile. He eventually attacked Tang Ya and Jiang Yang in a rage. 38 40

His pursuit of power became increasingly ruthless after his mutation. He watched Liu Xi's assault in order to observe the awakening of her opportunity, then presented himself as her savior after killing her attackers. 71

Abilities & Skills

Apocalypse Experience

Ye Fan retained seven years of apocalypse survival and combat knowledge after rebirth.

• His zombie-killing techniques were ingrained enough to be used instinctively even before becoming a Professional. 11
• He repeatedly adjusted his fighting style after discovering that his new body's early-stage attributes could not support the techniques he used in his former life. 29
• His technical combat ability could pressure Jiang Yang when their attributes were comparable. 113

Basic Warrior

Ye Fan purchased the Basic Warrior profession from the Apocalypse Store.

• Reached Level 1 after using a Job Scroll. 28 29
• Used a broadsword and possessed Broadsword Slash. 107
• The profession initially left him at a substantial attribute disadvantage against Jiang Yang's Dragon Totem inheritance. 40

Fallen Lifeform Physiology

Ye Fan became a Fallen Lifeform, also described by survivors as a Ghost Seed.

• Possessed high physical attributes and extensive regenerative capacity. 107 138
• Could improve through consuming humans, zombies, or mutated beasts; as the Son of the Plane, he was believed to have bypassed some normal Fallen Life limitations. 111
• Devoured Kong Yunfei's arm as punishment and consumed Abyssal Crocodile Turtles while entering the Secret Realm. 107 131
• His regeneration was hindered by an Inhibition Potion during the final battle. 139

Fallen Mimicry

Fallen Mimicry was Ye Fan's core transformation skill.

• Changed his body according to environmental and external conditions. 132
• Produced a larger, tentacled true form with protective leathery armor. 133
• Caused his status information to fluctuate so heavily that Plunderer's Insight could not accurately assess him. 133

Lightning Ability

Ye Fan awakened a powerful lightning-element Ability during his escape attempt from the Secret Realm.

• Greatly increased his offensive threat and allowed him to challenge Jiang Yang directly. 137
• His Fallen Life body was not compatible with the Ability; lightning burned his black tissue and caused pain. 137
• After his Freedom Bracelet was destroyed, the lightning Ability backlashed against him. 139

Equipment

• Broadsword — Ye Fan's primary weapon as a Basic Warrior; later damaged during his clash with Jiang Yang. 39 40
• Fire Axe — Used while scavenging shortly after the apocalypse began. 28
• Freedom Bracelet — C-rank item that briefly allowed him to ignore control effects through Wind of Freedom; destroyed by Jiang Yang's Dragon Breath. 41 139

Relationships

• Jiang Yang — Primary enemy and rival. Jiang Yang preemptively stole Ye Fan's key opportunities, manipulated the people closest to him, and ultimately led the battle that killed him. 18 19 38 40 139
• Ye Qingwei — Younger sister. Ye Fan had saved money for her treatment and remained concerned for her, but she ultimately stood with Jiang Yang during Ye Fan's final battle. 1 32 139
• Tang Ya — Former girlfriend and first love. Her betrayal and apparent relationship with Jiang Yang became a central source of Ye Fan's rage. 1 38 39
• Wu Lei — A comrade Ye Fan expected to find after rebirth, but Wu Lei instead became loyal to Jiang Yang. 29 37 38
• Liu Xi — A Mental Power user Ye Fan rescued after observing her awakening, intending to use her strength. She later turned on him after learning of his actions. 71 137
• Qiu Chan — A future powerhouse whom Ye Fan expected to be associated with his own rise; her presence in Jiang Yang's team reinforced his belief that Jiang Yang had altered his fate. 129 130

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rebirth and Lost Opportunities

After returning to the period before the apocalypse, Ye Fan sought to secure the Black Gold Ancient Blade and Dragon Totem inheritance that had supported his rise in his previous life. Both had already been taken by Jiang Yang, forcing him to begin again as a Basic Warrior. 10 18 19 28 29

Mall Confrontation

Ye Fan encountered Jiang Yang at the hunt for Money-Scattering Boy and discovered Ye Qingwei, Tang Ya, Wu Lei, and Qiu Chan gathered around his rival. Overwhelmed by jealousy and betrayal, he attacked, gained a Water-related fate change through his rage, and received the Freedom Bracelet through the Plane's protection. 37 41

Fallen Lifeform and Demon People

Ye Fan's mutation turned him into a Fallen Lifeform. He assembled a group that identified itself as Demon People, sought to exploit the Brotherhood, and confronted Jiang Yang again while suspecting that Jiang Yang was also reborn. 53 105 111

Secret Realm Duel and Death

Ye Fan entered the Linjiang Secret Realm alongside Jiang Yang to compete for its sole profession. Their conflict escalated into a sealed duel, where Ye Fan revealed his full Fallen Mimicry form and awakened Lightning Ability. 131 137

Outside the Secret Realm, Liu Xi immobilized Ye Fan with Mental Power and openly turned against him. Despite escaping control with the Freedom Bracelet, Ye Fan was weakened by an Inhibition Potion, injured by Qiu Chan, struck by Dragon Breath, frozen, and finally defeated by Jiang Yang's Crescent Slash. 137 139
