Background / History

Zi Yan grew up at Jia Nan Academy under First Elder Su Qian's care. She had no knowledge of her origins, though she wanted to find her family and was initially wary when Liu Bai claimed he could help her do so 266 319.

Liu Bai revealed that she was an Ancient Void Dragon and took her from Jia Nan Academy after assuring Su Qian that his purpose was to help her locate her kin. Before departing, he gave her a Tier 6 Fire Lotus Pill, which she immediately consumed for its rich energy 266 267.

While traveling through the Beast Domain, Zi Yan acknowledged that she needed to reach the Dou Ancestor realm before she could properly seek her family 281. Her bloodline later guided the group to the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, an ancient treasure situated behind a Beast Spirit Barrier and surrounded by the remains of an Ancient Void Dragon and an Ancient Heaven Phoenix 315.

At Dragon Island, the Ancient Void Dragon clan's Great Elders recognized her as the daughter of the previous Dragon Emperor. They confirmed her royal bloodline and accepted her as their long-awaited ruler 319. Liu Bai had sealed the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit within her, intending for it to evolve her into a Supreme Dragon Emperor 319 320.

Her absorption initially failed to proceed safely: the fruit's energy solidified into a Dragon-Phoenix Crystal Layer and left her in a living-dead state 329. Liu Bai used his Exotic Flame and Ancient Dragon Essence Blood over the course of a month to refine the crystal layer and awaken her 330 331. She emerged as the Supreme Dragon Emperor and a Three-Star Dou Saint 331.

Following her awakening, Zi Yan placed the Ancient Void Dragon clan under Liu Bai's authority and later led the campaign that subdued the North, South, and West Dragon Kings. Within a day, she reunified the divided Ancient Void Dragon clan under her rule 332 336 338 339.

Appearance

Zi Yan is introduced as a petite girl who appears around ten years old. After her evolution, she is described as having grown significantly, though she retains her recognizable purple hair and energetic demeanor 266 390.

• Purple hair and crystal-clear purple eyes 266
• Initially wore a simple dress and small boots 266
• Walked with a skipping gait that reflected her spirited personality 266
• Later appears as a purple-haired young woman and Dragon Emperor 396

Personality

Zi Yan is spirited, curious, and straightforward. As a child, she regarded Liu Bai's claims about her family with suspicion, but her desire to learn her origins and become stronger led her to travel with him 266 267.

Despite becoming the Supreme Dragon Emperor, she remains playful and carefree. She boasts openly about her cultivation, acts childishly around Liu Bai, and eagerly seeks out Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin to spend time with them 331 390 392.

She is also decisive and prideful when acting as Dragon Emperor. Her royal authority is especially evident in her treatment of the Dragon Kings and the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan 336 339 433.
