Background / History

Lin Mu transmigrated into the world of Wu Dong Qian Kun, awakening in the body of Lin Dong's older brother—an individual who did not exist in the original work. He had initially been injured protecting Lin Dong from Lin Shan, who had defeated both brothers during a clan dispute. 1

After awakening, Lin Mu received the Breathing Godly Tycoon System. The system initially generated one Yang Yuan Pill per breath, allowing him to acquire approximately 30,240 pills daily at his normal breathing rate. He kept the system secret even from his family, while deciding to take responsibility for Liu Yan, Lin Xiao, and Lin Dong as the inheritor of the body's identity. 1

He used the system's resources to rise rapidly, initially concealing the source of his strength behind a fabricated master. His wealth, cultivation resources, and combat strength became central to the Lin Family's rise from Qingyang Town to Yan City. 11 19 30

Personality

Lin Mu is confident, calculating, and highly protective of those he considers family or companions. He consistently provides Lin Dong, Qing Tan, Lin Zhentian, and the broader Lin Family with cultivation resources, martial arts, and protection. 8 50 83

He is also pragmatic and intimidating toward enemies. He frequently uses overwhelming force to deter hostile factions, kills opponents he considers irredeemable threats, and refuses to be constrained by the authority or reputation of stronger organizations. 32 79 133 234

Despite his ruthlessness, Lin Mu has a playful side. He regularly teases Ziyue and Little Sable, ruffles Qing Tan's hair, and jokingly insists that Little Sable call him “Big Brother.” 30 34 127
