Background / History
Ye Fan first learns of his world’s future by purchasing its World Script from the Chat Group. The revelation that the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin will bring him to Mars and expose him to dangers such as the Crocodile Ancestor leaves him anxious about whether fate can be avoided. 26
He receives cultivation resources from the Group Master, opens his Bitter Sea, and begins pursuing cultivation. Later, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin carries him and his classmates to Mars, where he reunites with Pang Bo and seeks guidance from the Chat Group. 46 64
At the Ancient Forbidden Land, Ye Fan consumes fruits from the Nine Transformations Undying Medicine and rapidly progresses through multiple realms. His future self supplies the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, other cultivation methods, and assistance that accelerates his growth; Ye Fan recognizes that this speed comes at the cost of insufficient combat experience. 66 73 112
Rather than following his original trajectory passively, Ye Fan establishes the Heavenly Court and recruits powerful young cultivators, including Ji Haoyue, Hua Yunfei, Jiang Yifei, and the Yaoguang Holy Son. He intends for his followers not merely to support his own rise, but to become Emperors alongside him. 102 103 115 155
Appearance
Ye Fan is a young man with flowing black hair, star-like eyes, and an extraordinary presence. When confronting the Ji and Jiang families, he wears purple robes; his future Heavenly Emperor manifestation appears in black robes with a cauldron beneath his feet. 85 191

Despite his opportunism, he places considerable value on loyalty and personal bonds. He shares cultivation methods with Pang Bo, loans him the Demon Emperor’s Heart, rescues Jiang Taixu despite the risks of Purple Mountain, and seeks to change the tragic fates of Xiao NanNan and his parents. 73 86 156 222 366
His rapid advancement initially leaves him complacent and overly reliant on his future self. Defeats and difficult duels force him to acknowledge his lack of battle experience, resolve, and an independently forged Invincible Dao Heart. 112 214 222 357
