Background / History

Abandonment and first soul ring

Su Changge's parents died in the Star Dou Great Forest when he was six. He then spent ten years and hundreds of thousands of Gold Soul Coins supporting Yu Xiaogang's martial-soul research in hopes of evolving his Goblin Cub martial soul. On his sixteenth birthday, Yu Xiaogang discarded him to take Tang San as a disciple; Su Changge left Notting City swearing revenge. A system awakened as he departed, informing him that obtaining a first soul ring would unlock a martial-soul evolution and trait reward. 1

In the Star Dou Great Forest, Su Changge seized a chance created by the battle between a Titan Giant Ape and a Red Gold Fire Python. He killed the dying ape with a poison-coated dagger and successfully absorbed its 3,000-year soul ring despite Murong Ruyan's warnings, becoming a Spirit Master. 4 5

Murong Earldom

Su Changge traveled with Murong Ruyan to Murong Castle, becoming the Murong Earldom's matrilocal son-in-law. He helped manage its agriculture, military, commerce, infrastructure, and finances while recognizing that its location near the Star Dou Mountain Range left it vulnerable to recurring soul-beast stampedes. 6 19

He established Musket Cavalry and developed matchlock muskets and Divine Fire Thunderbolt Cannons. During the ice-type soul-beast invasion, he commanded the defense of Eagle Beak Pass, personally fought in the inner city, and used a black-powder ambush to force the beast tide to withdraw. The harvested beast materials later brought the earldom 300,000 Gold Soul Coins and reversed its financial crisis. 8 11 12 13

Second ring and Zhao Wuji

Seeking a second soul ring, Su Changge recruited two Soul Ancestors, fifteen Soul Elders, and thirty late-stage or peak Great Soul Masters, then entered the Star Dou Great Forest with Musket Cavalry and artillery. 13

After wounding a Golden Nine-Headed Lion with a black-powder trap, he was ambushed by Zhao Wuji. Su Changge's forces delayed Zhao Wuji long enough for him to absorb the lion's 8,000-year ring. His new Black Hole Derivation skill suppressed the Soul Saint; Su Changge then killed Zhao Wuji and used Devour to reach level 22. 15 16 17

Royal succession crisis

At eighteen, Su Changge entered the Haagen-Dazs Royal Capital as the de facto controller of the Murong Earldom. He initially sought a political opening through the unfavored Thirteenth Princess Rose, but Xue Qinghe—actually Qian Renxue in disguise—forced him into supporting Rose's bid for the throne. 19 20 21

Su Changge became Rose's principal minister, eliminated the First Prince Snyder with Pufferfish Douluo's support, and helped dismantle rival factions. He later obtained his third soul ring from the Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python and raided Dugu Bo's Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for immortal herbs. 23 25 26

Rose ultimately ascended the throne after the Royal City fell. Su Changge became the kingdom's most powerful figure, later destroyed Shrek Academy in revenge against Yu Xiaogang, and helped Qian Renxue establish a unified empire before ascending to the God Realm. 31

Appearance

Su Changge is introduced as a young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He is repeatedly described by opponents as a “pretty boy,” an appearance that leads several enemies to underestimate him. 1 8

• Sixteen years old when expelled from Notting City 1
• Eighteen years old during the Haagen-Dazs succession struggle 19
• Wields a Steel Ruyi Staff in combat 11 17

Personality

Su Changge is calculating and survival-oriented. While powerless, he restrains his resentment toward Yu Xiaogang because provoking him could prevent his escape from Notting City; after gaining power, he consistently gathers information, employs traps, and avoids direct fights that do not favor him. 1 2 15

He is also ruthless toward perceived threats. He executes surrendered enemies such as Sun Meng, kills Zhao Wuji after defeating him, and uses troops as bait during the Eagle Beak Pass campaign when he judges the sacrifice necessary to secure victory. 9 12 17

As a ruler, Su Changge prioritizes military strength, resources, and political leverage. He develops firearms and artillery, expands the Murong Earldom's forces, and manipulates royal factions to elevate Rose while protecting his own position. 8 18 24
