Background / History

Su Qingqiu was originally a human from another world. He transmigrated into a newly awakened Spiritual Snake within the Snake Abyss beneath the Dragon-Raising Temple, inheriting the danger of Evil remains consumed by the former body. He immediately relied on cultivation, pills, shedding, and his innate abilities to survive and strengthen himself. 1

He rose through the Snake Abyss by refining Evil remains and cultivating Spiritual Light. After becoming the Serpent King of its first layer, he used rain techniques that improved the conditions of nearby spiritual serpents while drawing the attention of the Dragon-Raising Temple above. 9

While exploring the second-layer Serpent Pit Abyss, Su Qingqiu reached the threshold at which 10,000 strands of Spiritual Light became Spiritual Essence. His growth also increasingly tied him to the temple’s secrets, including the Bloodshed Incident, the sealed Snake Abyss, Dragon Bones, and the remnants of ancient dragons. 30 41 56

He later adopted the name Ao Qing and acted as the Great Wasteland Dragon God. His open conflict with the Human Race’s high-ranking figures began when he defended Ji and Little Qingyi; he defeated Rank 1 cultivator Zhu Jiuning and forced the Fox Lord and Tree Lord to retreat. 143 144

Su Qingqiu ultimately transformed into a True Dragon, then expanded his influence beyond the Human Realm. He became the Dragon Emperor, later ascended as the Time Bronze Dragon King, and established himself as a power capable of suppressing entire worlds. 154 237 299

Personality

Su Qingqiu is adaptive, resourceful, and relentlessly focused on survival. From his first days in the Snake Abyss, he treats cultivation, Evil remains, and inherited dangers as problems to be studied and exploited rather than avoided. 1 30

When challenged, Su Qingqiu is proud, decisive, and intimidating. He protects those under his protection, but he also uses overwhelming force and calculated pressure against enemies, as shown by his confrontation with the Tianhuang world. 143 144 237
