Background & History

Transmigration and Awakening

Xin Yang transmigrated from Earth without receiving the original body’s memories. Before transmigration, he had no friends or family and suffered severe childhood trauma, which created the dangerous but protective “Big Brother” personality within him. Xin Yang usually controls their shared body; Big Brother exists to protect him and can take over in critical moments 1 16.

As a Class 76 student at Wucheng No. 2 High School, Xin Yang entered Wu City’s artificial anomalous space for his awakening. Rather than following the safe procedure, he exploited his ability to revive after death and repeatedly killed the Candy-Buying Ghost, awakening both Dreamsource Ghost and Little Black Ball. Dreamsource Ghost’s serial number, 908, immediately made him the center of Class 76’s attention 2 3.

Bright City Park Incident

A month after awakening, Xin Yang traveled to Bright City to exploit its artificial trial space. With Big Brother controlling the body, he provoked the Skinning Wraith into repeatedly killing him, gaining attributes and the Skinning Specter Skill. He then killed the artificial ghost to strengthen Dreamsource Ghost 6 7.

When a Calamity-class eerie domain descended on Bright City Park, Xin Yang chose to enter the danger zone rather than flee. He helped the owner of Ming City’s Number One Noodles defeat a century-old White Zombie, then continued hunting zombies by using Dream Origin, Skinning, and deliberate death-and-revival cycles 7 8.

Xin Yang attempted to escort Zhao Kai and Li Keqing to safety before returning to the park’s core to rescue others. Their deaths at the hands of the Drought Demon Corpse King drove Xin Yang into grief and anger. Big Brother later took control, acquired the SSR curse ability Drought Demon Form, and killed both the Drought Demon and its red-hooded Ghost God Cult follower 12 13 14.

Wu City Friendship Tournament

After the Bright City disaster, Xin Yang entered the Wu City Student Friendship Tournament. He rapidly advanced through the early rounds, defeated Chen Yanli without using a ghost skill, and used Dreamsource Ghost’s Dream Origin to defeat Li Zuozhuo and his Drowned Ghost 18 19 20.

Against Hua Yang, Big Brother manifested ghost energy and severely injured his opponent, prompting an investigation by the Wu City Ghost Energy Masters Association. Xin Yang later fought Zhang Liang in the final; although he lacked formal combat technique, his extraordinary physical attributes and Big Brother’s intervention secured the championship 21 22 23 24.

Glory University and Checkpoint 108

Several universities attempted to recruit Xin Yang after his tournament victory. He ultimately chose Glory University and later entered its freshman assessment through Gate 108 26 27 28.

During the assessment, Xin Yang repeatedly confronted the eighth-rank Calamity Ghost known as the Burial Temple Ghost. He exploited the ghost’s attachment to its clay idol, then forced it into an enslavement contract and renamed it Shangzhi 32 33 35. Shangzhi taught him the Basic Ghost-Energy Breathing Technique, making Xin Yang an exception among Otherworlders, who ordinarily cannot learn native cultivation techniques 34.

Xin Yang also learned the Ironwood Art from Bama Village’s Night Patrol Team after defeating several members in arm-wrestling matches and drawing with their captain 35 36.

Battle Academy Placement

Xin Yang achieved a perfect Ghost Skill Usage score and placed first in Glory University’s Ghost Kill Score rankings, becoming the first student in hundreds of years to receive a perfect score in the assessment 39. His value sparked a struggle among Glory University’s academies until Battle Academy Dean Ge Shimin defeated the competing deans and vice-deans.

Xin Yang was assigned a top student position in the Battle Academy’s Specter Technique Combat Division, with extensive resources and academy support 42 43.

Appearance

Xin Yang is described as a handsome young man with an increasingly strong physique following his repeated attribute gains and physical training. His appearance and composed demeanor draw significant attention at the Wu City tournament 16 17.

• Has a refined, gentlemanly presence described as “gentle as jade.” 17
• Possesses an excellent physique developed through attribute rewards and training. 16
• His confidence and vitality leave a strong impression on Yuan Dingjiang and other observers. 17
• His appearance earned him the student nickname “Sun God.” 21

Personality

Xin Yang initially appears lazy and unmotivated, often preferring to stay in bed or avoid unnecessary effort. However, he is highly adaptable and quickly studies the rules, dangers, and resources of the Eerie Continent after transmigrating 4.

He is pragmatic, resource-conscious, and willing to exploit every advantage offered by his resurrection ability. He deliberately provokes dangerous ghosts to obtain their skills, attributes, or experience, and he treats death as a calculated cost when the reward is worthwhile 6 8 32.

Despite this ruthlessness, Xin Yang is deeply affected by human suffering. His decision to enter Bright City Park, protect weaker students, bury the dead, and vow to defend humanity reflects a growing sense of responsibility 7 12 15. He also rewards Shangzhi with valuable ghost energy liquid, valuing loyalty and the growth of his companions 45.

Big Brother is markedly more violent, cold, and sadistic than Xin Yang. He is obsessively protective of his younger counterpart and becomes especially dangerous when Xin Yang is hurt or threatened 14 22.
