Background

Lin Qingyan is the illegitimate daughter of Lin Baihe, head of the White River Group, and the half-sister of Lin Junhao. Her A-rank awakening and ordinary Healer profession left her overshadowed by Nanjiang City's more celebrated prodigies, while Lin Junhao's mother ostracized her. After her father's death, she was cast out of the Lin family. 4 22

In her original timeline, she later awakened Absolute Zero, reached Tier 4 within a year, awakened an SSS-rank space-time third talent, and entered the King Realm in under three years. Known as Empress Qingyan, she became invincible among her peers and eventually reached the Demigod realm. 22 341

Her future ended when a god-tier entity emerged from an Abyss on a Southeast Asian island and destroyed Blue Star despite humanity's resistance. Her space-time talent activated an ancient forbidden item during the catastrophe, returning her to the period before the college entrance examination. She concluded that humanity had only three years remaining and resolved to reach the Mythical level in time to alter that future. 22

In the new timeline, Lin obtained her Awakening Stone early, concealing her true potential behind Healing Ring before awakening Absolute Zero and becoming a God Speaker. Her accelerated rise was initially driven by confidence that her past-life experience would let her surpass every contemporary prodigy. 4 22

Appearance

Lin Qingyan is a strikingly beautiful young woman whose reserved, cold bearing is reinforced by her frost-based powers. Her appearance and aura are frequently compared with Luo Xi's, though Lin is regarded as the more conventionally beautiful of the two. 22

• Long, thick jet-black hair, often falling to her waist or lower. 22 254
• Fair, crystalline skin and a slender build. 16 254
• Ice-blue eyes and cold mist surrounding her when she uses Absolute Zero. 22
• Often wears white clothing, a black hooded jacket, or her Divine Martial Academy uniform beneath a blue coat. 22 28 254
• Her hair and eyes shift to extreme icy-blue during high-output frost techniques. 267

Personality

Lin Qingyan is proud, self-disciplined, and intensely competitive. Her past as Empress Qingyan gave her an unshakable belief in her own potential, making her particularly unwilling to concede to Jiang Yuan—even after repeated losses to him. 28 54 117

She presents herself as aloof and difficult to approach, dismissing the need for friends and reacting sharply to perceived interference. Beneath that distance, however, she is motivated by the coming extinction of humanity and is willing to cooperate with others when survival demands it. 77 258 341

Her rivalry with Jiang Yuan consistently provokes her composure. She is frustrated by his rapid growth, yet recognizes him as the only opponent worthy of her full attention. 54 117 238

Abilities & Skills

Healing Ring

Her first awakened talent is an A-rank healing-sequence ability, originally paired with the ordinary Healer profession. 4

• Publicly known as her initial talent before she revealed Absolute Zero.
• Its apparent lack of combat value caused others to underestimate her. 4 73

Absolute Zero

Lin's SS-rank second talent grants overwhelming ice and cold manipulation. It can freeze large areas, reshape terrain, and suppress enemies far above her nominal realm. 22 30 415

• Created ice prisons and a battlefield spanning roughly a thousand meters of frozen ground during her first clash with Jiang Yuan. 30
• Froze Xiao Zhiyu's clone and airborne exploding insects. 260
• Uses Heaven and Earth Frost White to instantly freeze targets and produce layered ice defenses. 267

• Her extreme-cold domain can slow an opponent's movement, senses, vitality, and even thought speed. 430

God Speaker

Lin's legendary profession allows her words to impose rules upon the environment. It is also described as the legendary Divine Wordcaster profession in the National War roster. 22 365

• Declared “the storm is forbidden” to halt violent winds within her range. 58
• Cast Blessing on Jiang Yuan, significantly increasing his aura. 75
• Stopped multiple sand hurricanes with the command “Still!” and forcibly exposed Ueo Ryunosuke with “Come out!” 394
• Can suppress dark magic, manipulate environmental elements, and establish rule-like effects through spoken commands. 259 401
• High-output use rapidly drains her mental power and cannot be maintained indefinitely. 422

Time Forbidden Ruins

Lin's third talent is a time-type ability, hidden until after she enrolled at Divine Martial Academy. 254 431

• Used Time Reversal to undo Christina's damage and restore herself during the National War final. 431
• Its revelation established that she possesses three innate talents, causing worldwide shock. 431
• Her champion-set accessory later granted an additional, separate time-freezing effect. 432

Martial Will and Martial Dao Pressure

Lin awakened Martial Will during her battle with Xiao Zhiyu, manifesting it as an ice-blue celestial maiden wielding an immortal sword. 259

• Shattered psychic illusions and overwhelmed Xiao Zhiyu's defensive techniques. 259
• Her Martial Dao Pressure crushed Phil's undead army and shattered his martial will despite her being only sixth rank. 407
• Her pressure carries the invincible conviction and combat experience of her past life. 394 407

Martial Arts

Lin combines her talents with refined movement, sword techniques, and force-generation arts.

• Phantom Cloud Step — Three-star movement technique that produces evasive, mist-like repositioning. 29
• Black Thunder Flash — Five-star martial skill used with explosive close-range strikes. 29
• Ice God's Execution — Talent-and-Relic combination that defeated the youthful Starry Sky Sword King Li Juekong. 116
• Shatter Star: Ninefold Force — Perfected advanced force-generating technique that layers her strength repeatedly, allowing her to overpower seventh-rank Grandmaster Phil in direct combat. 407
• Heavenly Phoenix Flash Step — Used alongside Ice Kingdom power to defeat Christina. 431

Equipment / Relics

• Star Piercer — Relic used with Ice God's Execution during her Tower of Warriors challenge. 116
• Ksitigarbha's Bracer — Epic-grade Relic capable of suppressing a target's realm by two tiers; Lin used it as the stake for a rematch wager with Jiang Yuan. 254
• Winter's Judgment — Legendary equipment set awarded for winning the National War elimination tournament. 432
  • Winter Dagger — Grants +200% attack, +290% critical hit, ice-and-snow damage, 10% true damage, and Lifemark Severance, which can remove 50% of a target's current HP after seven stacks.
  • Everfrozen Armor — Grants +500% defense and creates drifting ice crystals and snowflakes around its wearer.
  • Frost Tear Ring — Its Causality Freeze can freeze the time flow of objects, attacks, wounds, enemies, and thoughts within ten meters for three seconds once per day.

Relationships

• Jiang Yuan — Primary rival, fellow reborn individual, and eventual ally. Lin first challenged him in the Abyss, repeatedly lost to him, and later joined his plan to prevent humanity's extinction by becoming one of the first human “gods” within two years. 29 117 341
• Luo Xi — Longstanding rival. Their competition began when Luo Xi mocked Lin's initial A-rank awakening; it later developed into tension over Jiang Yuan. 4 53 258

• Lin Junhao — Half-brother and fellow Lin family prodigy. 22
• Christina — National War final opponent. Lin defeated her with Time Reversal, Ice Kingdom, and Heavenly Phoenix Flash Step; Christina accepted the result respectfully. 431 432
• Sikong — Fellow Divine Martial Academy National War contestant. He recognizes Lin's rapid progress and regards her as difficult to read and potentially threatening. 344

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rebirth and early awakening

Lin begins as an apparently underpowered Healer, but her rebirth is revealed when she awakens Absolute Zero and becomes a God Speaker before the college entrance examination. Her objective is to avert the god-tier Abyssal invasion that destroyed Blue Star in her previous life. 4 22

First Abyss expedition

She encounters Jiang Yuan while registering as a martial artist and enters the Abyss alongside him. Their rivalry becomes immediate: Lin confidently challenges him, displays Phantom Cloud Step, Black Thunder Flash, and large-scale ice manipulation, but is ultimately defeated. 25 28 29 30

Hidden-map and Yin Lord crisis

Lin refuses to form a team with other regional prodigies at the hidden-map entrance, trusting her own strength. She later fights beside Jiang Yuan, Luo Xi, and Pei Congyun against the Stone Giants and buys time against the Yin Lord after their Relics revive them. 53 77

Tower of Warriors

Lin reaches seventh in the Tower's historical rankings by defeating the young Starry Sky Sword King Li Juekong. Jiang Yuan then challenges her, defeats her in thirty seconds, and pushes her down to eighth. 116 117

Divine Martial Academy

At Divine Martial Academy, Lin becomes the dominant freshman known as the Ice Queen. She awakens Time Forbidden Ruins, challenges Jiang Yuan again, awakens Martial Will against Xiao Zhiyu, and demonstrates nearly eight million damage on the Martial Stele. 238 254 259 256

Alliance against the future

Lin reveals her rebirth to Jiang Yuan and shows him a Fate Disk fragment, proving that she possesses knowledge impossible for someone from the present era. After learning that Jiang is also reborn, the two agree to work together against the future Abyssal extinction and identify the need to guard against hidden traitors. 341 342

National War champion

As a Great Xia representative, Lin defeats Ueo Ryunosuke, a Bear Country peak sixth-tier spellcaster, seventh-rank Grandmaster Phil, Kitahara Ryuji, Edward Xien, and Christina. Her Talent Awakening and time-type third talent establish her as one of the tournament's most feared contestants. 394 401 407 415 422 431

Her victory over Christina wins the National War elimination tournament, raises Great Xia's national fortune by 5%, and grants the nation's citizens ten additional years of lifespan. 432
