Background / History
Li Yang began as an unremarkable student from a rural background. After gaining access to the World Gate, he sold and recycled gold hairpins for 100,000 yuan, bringing his bank balance to 123,086 yuan; he immediately used part of it to purchase a modern automatic compound crossbow from Brother Jun. 3 113
His wealth and influence expanded rapidly. He founded Vast Starry Sky Company, later described as Vast Starry Sky Group, and used its resources to support relatives, friends, and employees. The group became associated with online literature, games, short-video platforms, security, and new-energy technology. 110 214
While moving between the Real World, the Apocalyptic World, the Magic World, and the Cultivation World, Li Yang pursued multiple systems of power at once. He cultivated Thunder Magic Power, acquired Genetic Potions, refined his Soul Power and physical body, and eventually entered the Joyful Union Sect’s sphere of influence. 150 178 419
Li Yang was publicly introduced as the Joyful Union Sect’s Holy Son and later secured a post as Deputy General in the Jiuli Dynasty’s Ministry of War. His rise drew the attention of major sects and dynasties, including the Pure Yang Sect, which exchanged six Divine Abilities for his future assistance. 419 420 423
After a century away, he returned to Earth and taught advanced cultivation methods to his family and the inhabitants of the Apocalyptic World. He later created and spread several Earth-based cultivation systems, transforming public cultivation and helping usher in a new era. 425 431 436 438 439
Li Yang later reincarnated into the body of a sixteen-year-old member of another Li Family near Lingyao City. He rapidly reconstructed and organized the world’s four Transcendent Paths, defended the Li Family against rival clans, entered the Limitless Sect, and eventually rose through the Martial King and Martial Saint realms. 577 584 597 620 683 719
Appearance
Li Yang was once remembered as an ordinary, inconspicuous high-school classmate. After gaining power, he is repeatedly described as tall, handsome, physically imposing, and noticeably more confident than before. 113 178 214 523

Personality
Li Yang is ambitious, resourceful, and highly focused on acquiring strength, techniques, and resources. He treats cultivation as a continuous process of self-transcendence, regularly seeking stronger methods even after reaching a level that overwhelms his peers. 3 366 605 722
He is strongly attached to his family and longtime friends. He provides jobs, housing, cultivation methods, Genetic Potions, and longevity resources to relatives and trusted associates, while still expecting others to make use of the opportunities he gives them. 110 111 425 426
His relationships also reveal a possessive and controlling side. He is described as indifferent to Chen Qian’s career ambitions while wanting to retain control over her, and he often uses wealth, cultivation, or personal power to dictate the terms of his interactions with others. 54 204 719
Later, Li Yang begins examining the limits of pursuing power through strength alone. While confronting the Ninefold Mysterious Restrictions, he reflects on his obsessions, purifies his Soul of accumulated Karma, and concludes that Dao comprehension is necessary for further progress. 722
