Symbol Ancestor

Biodata

Background

The Symbol Ancestor originated from the Great Thousand World and came to Tianxuan Continent in pursuit of the Plane Embryo, the plane’s Power of Origin. The Demonic Tribe sought the same object. Neither side ultimately gained control of it 332.

During the ancient Heaven–Earth War, he fought the Alien Demon Emperor, drove him back into the Alien Demon Plane, and sealed the Planar Rift to prevent further invasion. The seal protected Tianxuan Continent from outside planes but also prevented its inhabitants from leaving 346.

He died in the aftermath of that conflict, leaving the continent without an equivalent guardian while the surviving Demons retained the possibility of returning 222 260. His residual sealing power remained at the Planar Rift and could manifest as an ancient light silhouette 349.
