Background

Li Peng was originally a modern man and avid reader of Primordial Era stories. He transmigrated into the unhatched Golden Winged Great Peng, twin brother to Kong Xuan. Knowing the Great Peng's originally mediocre fate, he resolved to preserve his innate potential rather than refine it into the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, and to become a player rather than a pawn in the Primordial Era. 1

While still inside his egg, Li Peng chose prolonged cultivation through his System. He integrated the Innate Yin-Yang Origin, awakened Innate Yin Yang Destruction Divine Light, and cultivated until he could hatch in his true form. 1 2

His early travels established his pattern of pursuing opportunities through calculation and force. He acquired the Universe Ruler, severely injured Daoist Randeng, endured Pangu's pressure on Buzhou Mountain, and entered a hidden realm containing the Yin-Yang Demon God's essence blood and accompanying treasure. The Demon God's remnant soul attempted possession, but the System erased it; Li Peng then refined the essence blood and claimed the Chaos Yin-Yang Pagoda. 2 3 4 5

Although Hongjun later concluded that Li Peng was the Yin-Yang Demon God, Li Peng had deliberately encouraged that belief for System rewards and political leverage. His actual origin remained that of the transmigrated Golden Winged Great Peng. 1 4 59 60

Appearance

Li Peng can assume both a colossal Golden Winged Great Peng form and an Innate Dao Body. His transformed human form resembles a handsome young man in his early twenties, with an inherently kingly and commanding bearing. 2

• His true form is a golden-winged peng measuring ninety thousand zhang in length. 2
• His hatching released dense black-and-white Yin-Yang Qi. 2
• His innate aura and techniques are characterized by black-and-white Yin-Yang radiance. 1 79

Personality

Li Peng is intensely ambitious and refuses to accept the destiny associated with the original Golden Winged Great Peng. His long-term aim is not merely sainthood, but surpassing the Heavenly Dao itself. 1 5

He generally prepares before acting: he spends millennia studying formations, suppresses premature breakthroughs to preserve his foundation, builds alliances with rare treasures, and uses the System's choices to maximize rewards. 2 3 6 79

His generosity is strategic but genuine toward those he recognizes as family, allies, or disciples. He supports Kong Xuan's cultivation, rescues Xihe and Changxi, assists the Human Race, and gives powerful treasures to disciples and companions. 10 23 70 96

Conversely, he is ruthless toward threats. He killed Randeng, seized the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus from Zhunti and Jieyin, ordered the possible extermination of the East Sea Dragon Clan, and directly challenged both the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun. 13 21 54 87
