Background

In the Divine Realm, Tang San protects Tang Wulin, whose body contains the Golden Dragon King's divine core, and attempts to dissuade Dai Yuhao from rebelling against the realm's defenses. Yuhao interprets Tang San's close protection of the child as distrust toward him. 1

Tang San is later described as possessing both the Sea God and Asura God divine positions, placing him beyond Huo Yuhao's former first-class godhood. 4 In the past-era storyline, however, his divine sense has possessed his younger body for less than two months; the divine artifacts that returned with him are unsuitable for early use. 20

His returned memories allow him to anticipate major events, including Oscar reaching Rank 30, the appearance of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, and the opportunity to acquire the Eight Spider Spears. He joins Shrek partly to preserve and shape the future paths of Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong. 20 23

After temporarily departing Shrek, Tang San travels with Tang Hao and Ah Yin to seize the Icefire Yin Yang Well before Huo Yuhao can exploit it. Although he successfully relocates Ah Yin and takes several immortal herbs, Tang Hao's conflict with Dugu Bo leaves the valley engulfed in a poison disaster. 39 62 63

Tang San subsequently arranges for Ah Yin to wait near Dugu Bo's corpse and ambush Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong. Huo Yuhao later extracts this information from Ah Yin's memories after killing her. 93

Personality

Tang San is calculating and strongly future-oriented. He waits for events to unfold in a favorable order, regards Huo Yuhao's soul-tool knowledge as a threat to his era, and considers provoking Spirit Hall into targeting Yuhao by spreading claims about a hundred-thousand-year first soul ring. 20

He is fiercely protective of Xiao Wu and becomes increasingly unstable after her disappearance. He disregards Zhao Wuji's orders, pressures Oscar into producing Mushroom Sausages, and pursues the Titan Giant Ape's trail alone. 37 38 After learning that Huo Yuhao was likely involved, he openly declares him an enemy. 38

Despite this ruthlessness, Tang San values allies he believes will be useful in the future. He shields Oscar during soul-ring absorption, identifies Oscar as an indispensable future ally, and later apologizes to Zhao Wuji before leaving Shrek temporarily. 23 40

Tang San is willing to treat even close associates as pieces in a larger plan. He intends to withhold immortal herbs from Zhu Zhuqing, uses Ah Yin as an ambusher against Huo Yuhao and Bibi Dong, and seeks to limit the number of people sharing the Icefire Yin Yang Well's resources. 23 39 93

He is also prone to shifting blame when his plans fail. Following Dugu Bo's poison detonation, he cannot blame Tang Hao and instead attributes the disaster to Dugu Bo's weakness and Huo Yuhao's supposed craftiness. 63
