Background / History
Lin Tian wandered the Chaos World before the emergence of the Chaos Demon Gods, collecting every object he encountered because he believed Chaos-born items would be rare treasures in the future Primordial World. During this period, he spent ten thousand years studying and breaking the Annihilation God-Slaying Formation to claim the Chaos Sword. 4
His exploration of the Sea of Chaos nearly killed him; after enduring its violent Chaos Qi and Fierce Fiend Qi, he reached an ancient battlefield space. There, the Chaos Pearl exposed the sealed Primordial Chaos Purple Lotus and Primordial Chaos Supreme Cauldron, treasures left behind by Dao Tian and Luo Li. 7 8 9
After surviving Ling Daozi's attempted seizure of his body, Lin Tian absorbed the remnant soul's Primordial Spirit fragments. He used the broken sword left behind by Ling Daozi as material to restore and improve the Purple Lotus and Supreme Cauldron. 29 30
Zi Yu later remade Lin Tian's body with Primordial Chaos Origin and the power of his three Spiritual Treasures. The process lasted dozens of kalpas and transformed Lin Tian's former Great Dao Body into a Primordial Dao Body. Before dissipating, Zi Yu warned him to “beware of Primordial Chaos.” 60
After arriving in the Primordial World, Lin Tian established himself in the east and continued cultivating. He later became closely associated with the Human Race and the Three Immortal Islands, where he trained disciples, sheltered allies, and resisted attempts by the Heavenly Dao to dictate the Human Race's path. 61 238 288
