Background / History

Liu Yuan retained memories from a previous life after transmigrating. During his Martial Soul awakening, he manifested the Origin Willow, a beneficial mutation combining his father’s Willow Spirit with his mother’s Source Water Lotus. His innate soul power of level 7 surpassed both parents’, and he began cultivating under his father’s guidance. 1

After awakening, Liu Yuan received the Douluo Multiverse Order Taking Platform, which allows him to accept tasks from parallel universes. His first recorded task involved providing food, a storage Soul Tool, and instructions to a starving Tang San in exchange for the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. 2

He later used the platform and his growing resources to aid Huo Yuhao and Huo Yun’er. Liu Yuan trained Huo Yuhao intensely, provided medicinal baths, and passed on the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record; Huo Yuhao subsequently treated him as an elder-brother figure and pledged loyalty to him. 9

At Shrek Academy, Liu Yuan’s connection to the Golden Ancient Tree became increasingly apparent. His resonance with its Life Core elevated him from level 35 to level 40, granted him a domain, and restored Electrolux’s memories. Liu Yuan thereafter addressed the Holy Necromancer as Elder Yi. 55 56

Liu Yuan eventually developed and publicly presented an improved cultivation system centered on forging Martial Soul Natal Weapons. He used his own Origin Willow Natal Weapon as proof of concept and had Huo Yuhao demonstrate the process to Shrek’s Title Douluo. 79 84 93

Appearance

At around eleven years old, Liu Yuan had long black hair reaching his waist, a slender but upright build, and a deep, sharp gaze. Despite this intensity, he carried the gentle presence of a spring breeze. 9

• Long black hair.
• Slender, upright frame.
• Black eyes that can turn gray when Electrolux’s power manifests. 15
• An emerald-gold Eye of Life/Fate on his forehead after fusing the Gold of Life. 61 70

Personality

Liu Yuan is pragmatic, calculating, and highly goal-oriented. He evaluates tasks primarily by their rewards and long-term value, but he is also willing to exceed the minimum required when helping someone in genuine need, as shown by his assistance to Tang San and his support for Huo Yuhao. 2 9

He is confident before powerful figures and willing to take risks for advancement, including forging a Martial Soul Natal Weapon despite the danger of Heavenly Tribulations. 79 He can also be cunning when pursuing resources, using flattery and schemes to obtain a Golden Ancient Tree twig from Mu En. 96

Liu Yuan is fiercely retaliatory toward threats against himself and those close to him. After realizing Dai Huabin had arranged an ambush, he openly resolved that the matter could not end peacefully. 70 71
