Background / History
Ye Fan was brought from Earth to the Big Dipper Star Domain after entering the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin with his university classmates. The journey exposed him to betrayal and intrigue, leaving him slow to trust anyone outside a few proven allies. 374
While trapped in a bronze hall with Ji Ziyue, Ye Fan encountered Profound Yellow Qi and Profound Yellow Essence. Lin Yu temporarily descended through Ye Fan’s green bronze artifact fragment, saved him from being crushed by the qi, and gave him a silver mark capable of storing it. 365 367
After joining the Myriad Worlds Chat Group, Ye Fan learned that he was the protagonist of Shading the Heavens. He accepted the revelation without breaking down, began preparing for future dangers, and acquired weapons and supplies through the Group Mall. 369 370
Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue entered Tai Xuan Sect to avoid the Ji Family. He deliberately concealed his ability to join the desolate Clumsy Peak, where Li Ruoyu later helped him activate its inheritance and obtain the All Characters Secret. 374 393
