Background / History

Thirty thousand years before the story's opening, Li Yilin transmigrated into a body whose original owner had signed a Giant Axe Arena contract. The contract required 1,000 life-and-death victories to secure Wunuo Star, his home planet, or else the planet would be absorbed into the local empire or universe country rather than becoming a slave planet. 1

He survived 999 battles on Mulan Planet before facing Vida in the decisive match. During the duel, he realized the nature of lightning, crossed the Origin Law threshold, killed Vida, and became a Giant Axe Warrior. The Arena terminated his contract and transferred Wunuo Star into his name. 2 3

Wunuo Star's valuable metal vein subsequently made Li Yilin a target. Unable to protect both the ore and his people alone, he ordered the Wutuo Clan's evacuation, compensated the families of fallen clansmen, and entrusted the planet and mine to the Giant Axe Arena. 7 8

Appearance

Li Yilin is a tall, slender, handsome man with sharp black eyes and a composed bearing. In combat, he is commonly seen in fitted dark armor and is surrounded by violent purple lightning. 2 29 104

• A purple vertical eye is visible on his forehead. 46
• His awakened Thunder Dragon Bloodline gives him purple blood and causes lightning to spread across his body. 14
• He can manifest lightning scales and a dragon claw through the Thunder Dragon Art. 19
• He has used black armor, a broadsword, war blades, and a spear in battle. 1 29 101

Personality

Li Yilin is calm, wary, and highly disciplined. During his battle with Vida, he chose to conserve energy and wait for his concealed opponent to exhaust himself rather than recklessly pursue him. His thirty thousand years of life-and-death battles have made him difficult to unsettle and gave him extraordinary endurance against fear, pain, and mental attacks. 1 2 18

His restraint is paired with a strong responsibility toward Wunuo Star and the Wutuo Clan. He gives up control of a precious mine rather than endanger his people, and he treats the clan's losses as a personal burden. 7 8

As a teacher, Li Yilin is patient, indulgent, and protective toward Si Yao. He respects her choices, encourages her after defeat, and repeatedly spends rare resources to protect her growth. 33 41 46 85

• Raises his life-gene level, reaching eight times the normal baseline after an early fusion and sixteen times by the Initial Universe period. 19 106
• Gives him a physique far beyond ordinary Domain Lords and helped him survive Vida's otherwise lethal attack. 2
• Bloodline fusion is excruciating; higher concentrations alter his flesh, bones, and organs more deeply. 18 79 80
