Background

Su Yun awakens in the Jia Ma Empire with a cultivation of Nine-Star Dou Huang and begins presenting himself as an ancient, millennium-old powerhouse. His fabricated history and claimed inheritance are supported by a System that converts others' belief into reality through “Heavenly Lies.” 3 22

He first establishes influence in the Magical Beast Mountain Range and Imperial Capital. After the Amethyst Winged Lion King submits to him, Su Yun takes the lion king’s child under his protection for Xiao Yi Xian to use as a mount. He then intimidates Jia Ma’s major powers with the poison-and-fire technique Nether Bone Erosion Butterfly. 6 8 9

While researching the Xiao Clan, Su Yun prepares a second Heavenly Lie: Xiao Ji Bai, a purported Xiao Clan Old Ancestor and inheritor of the Sword Emperor’s legacy. This identity successfully manifests after he spends a thousand years meditating at the Sword Altar and receives the Sword Emperor’s memories and power. 22 70 71

As Xiao Ji Bai, he gains the trust of Xiao Yan and the scattered Xiao Clan, presents himself as their protector, and becomes entangled in the conflict with the Six Ancient Clans. Privately, however, he retains control over the Human Emperor Banner he gives Xiao Yan and manipulates the perception of Xiao Xuan’s remnant soul. 166 231 253

Su Yun later reveals another identity: Huang Di, the Son of the Dragon Phoenix and Phoenix Emperor. He claims the bloodline of the Dragon Phoenix Dou Di, directs Feng Qing’er to rally the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, and ultimately obtains the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit. 136 137 206 207

After awakening the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, Su Yun openly leads the Beast Race against the Ancient Imperial Clans. He targets the Ancient Void Dragon Clan, marches on the Thunder Realm with the Beast Race army, and begins settling old scores with the human clans. 277 297 304

Personality

Su Yun is calculating, theatrical, and highly conscious of appearances. He designs identities, artifacts, ruins, and narratives to make others act according to his plans. Even acts that appear selfless—such as giving Xiao Yan the Divine Bloodline or Human Emperor Banner—can conceal a strategic purpose. 47 166 253

He is protective of people he considers his own, particularly Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan. He delays his departure for the Black Corner Region until Xiao Yi Xian awakens, intervenes to protect Xiao Yan from the Misty Cloud Sect, and repeatedly rescues him from stronger enemies. 34 47 145 231

His mercy is selective. Su Yun can spare defeated enemies or assist former adversaries, such as allowing Misty Cloud Sect to settle in Black Sky City and sending Yun Shan a seventh-grade pill. Yet he is equally willing to kill, mutilate, or leave survivors alive specifically to spread fear. 110 121 279
