Background

Li Qingming's soul transmigrated into the previous era of the Douluo World. At age six, during the era's final days, he awakened twin martial souls: the Sacred Angel and Fallen Angel. Qian Renxue's death coincided with his awakening, leaving him with her remnant soul, a trace of her origin power, and the Angel God's inheritance. 2

After Tang San and the other gods departed, the Angel Family was purged. Li Qingming witnessed his father being murdered and his mother dying after being pierced by a Star Luo Empire expert, leaving him with lasting hatred toward Tang San and his legacy. 2

He sealed himself within a ten-thousand-year ice coffin, an act connected to Qian Renxue's remnant soul. The prolonged freezing gave him an ultimate-ice constitution that altered his physique. 3 16

Ye Xishui later removed him from the coffin and exploited his talent. She forced him to swallow a Soul-Eating Pill, whose parasite clings to his heart and requires a suppressant every three months, then ordered him to enter Shrek Academy as a spy for the Holy Spirit Cult. 2

Although he initially maintained his Shrek identity to fulfill Ye Xishui's mission and conceal his clone arrangement, his relationship with the academy deteriorated after the National Soul Master Tournament. He later became increasingly disillusioned with Shrek's glory and chose to prioritize his own power, allies, and plans in the Sun Moon Empire. 120 130

Li Qingming subsequently acted against Shrek Academy and helped bring about Mu En's death through a trap involving the Spirit-Shedding Pill. Anticipating retaliation from Ye Xishui, he increasingly treated his former controller as an enemy rather than a patron. 183 196

Appearance

Li Qingming is an unusually handsome youth with an aloof, almost godlike bearing. His normal appearance is associated with the sacred side of his power, while his Fallen Angel avatar adopts a darker appearance. 4 75

• Golden hair and golden eyes marked by a faint white ring. 4
• Fair, jade-like hands and a calm, refined presence. 10 39
• His disguised Fallen Angel form has black hair and black eyes. 34 75
• His Six-Winged Angel manifestation is described as an immense sacred angel with three pairs of wings. 4 146
• His Light Clone has golden eyes and has concealed its face behind a white mask. 195

Personality

Li Qingming is composed under coercion, danger, and provocation. When Ye Xishui enslaved him through the Soul-Eating Pill, he immediately chose outward compliance rather than futile resistance. He similarly conceals the Fallen Angel martial soul around Mu En and treats his clone bodies as contingencies rather than mere extensions of himself. 2 3 22

He is pragmatic and highly calculating. He cultivates goodwill at Shrek not out of simple kindness, but to secure moral credibility and reduce suspicion if Dai Huabin is later harmed. His long-term plans center on acquiring enough strength and resources to oppose Tang San. 32 47 97

Despite his detachment, Li Qingming protects those he accepts as allies or responsibilities. He repeatedly suppresses Ma Xiaotao's evil fire, saves Zhu Lu during the Beast Battle, and commits himself to rescuing Snow Empress. 27 46 73

Li Qingming is capable of emotional responsibility despite his secrecy. After returning from the Far North, he acknowledged that concealing his identity arrangement, Wang Dong'er's role in his life, and his prolonged absence had hurt Meng Hongchen. He disclosed most of the truth to her, while still retaining his ultimate abilities and future path to godhood as personal trump cards. 163 164

His pursuit of power does not prevent him from feeling guilt over the people attached to him. He accepts that his relationships with Wang Dong'er and Meng Hongchen are complicated, promises not to abandon either woman, and remains uneasy about the prospect of further intimate entanglements involving the beings within his spiritual sea. 153 164

His later conduct is markedly ruthless: he orchestrates an imperial assassination, exploits a false account of Shrek's involvement, and kills two messengers after examining a sensitive delivery. Nevertheless, he tells Wang Dong'er and Meng Hongchen about his part in the succession after seeing their fear for him. 180 193 194 196

Abilities & Skills

Twin Angel Martial Souls

Li Qingming possesses the Sacred Angel and Fallen Angel, two god-tier martial souls that embody opposing sacred and fallen attributes. He later divides them between separate bodies to prevent both powers from being exposed together. 2 22

• The Sacred Angel possesses innate ultimate sacred power. 2
• The Fallen Angel carries depravity and corrupting power capable of rapidly overwhelming opponents. 106
• His Fallen Angel's soul rings originate from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 43
• At four rings, the Fallen Judgment Sword possessed power close to the peak five-ring level. 43
• Upon reaching Soul Sage, he acquired his seventh soul ring by personally killing a ten-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant Lord in the Evil Demon Forest. 164
• His Six-Winged Angel's ultimate holy power suppressed the former Sun Moon emperor's Blazing Sun martial soul. He could draw on the power of eight other angels to replenish its divine power. 188

Angel God's Inheritance

Qian Renxue's remnant soul resides within Li Qingming as a soul spirit and grants him access to the Angel God's legacy. Her remnant soul instinctively concealed itself when Tang San's divine sense probed Li Qingming. 2 3 43

• Cultivates through the Angel God Art, which rapidly draws sacred and light-attributed energy. 3 4
• Can purify surroundings with angelic power, including Dormitory 108. 3
• His sacred power can suppress and transform Ma Xiaotao's evil fire toward a Holy Phoenix attribute. 27
• His golden soul rings are publicly attributed to the nature of his Six-Winged Angel martial soul. 40
• The Angel Set augments his cultivation speed and helped drive the rapid advance of all three bodies. 72
• His Angel Spiritual Power makes him particularly sensitive to evil martial souls, helping him distinguish likely Holy Spirit Cult members from imperial agents. 185

Angel Soul Skills

• Angel's Will — Enhances sacred power, physical strength, defense, and the destructive effect of sacred power; grants immunity to negative conditions. 12
• Angel Slash / manifested angel swords — Uses sacred sword attacks to counter powerful opponents and pressure multiple targets. 25 60
• Sacred Shield — Creates a complete angelic barrier with no blind spots; protected Li Qingming, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao from Dai Huabin and Zhu Lu's fusion attack. 25
• Angel Chains — His fourth soul skill creates restraining chains that can multiply and bind numerous opponents; its strength increases under Angel's Will. 60
• Divine Sword — His fifth soul skill is an absolute destructive attack that severely injured a seven-ring Soul Sage referee. He later used it to strike the Sun Moon emperor's throat. 77 188
• Angel Impact — A spiritual attack capable of imposing overwhelming mental suppression on ordinary Soul King-level opponents. 84
• Angel Domain — Generates angelic warmth and comfort, which Li Qingming used to protect Wang Dong'er during their confinement at the Cliff of Reflection. 127
• Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong'er — By allowing Wang Dong'er to serve as its core, he helped manifest a radiant, sacred form accompanied by an enhanced Light Goddess Butterfly and floating swords. 100 101

Soul-Splitting and Clones

Li Qingming uses a method that separates his martial souls into distinct bodies rather than literally splitting his soul. This lets him maintain different identities and affiliations at Shrek and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. 22 32

• Fallen Clone — Houses the Fallen Angel martial soul and uses the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as its core; it also possesses spatial power for escape. 32
• Ice-Snow Clone — Forged through the Ice Empress using the body and power of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion; it wields the Heavenly Snow Woman, later described as an Ice Angel, martial soul. 31 38 92
• He can temporarily draw on his clones' martial souls, effectively wielding three martial souls at once. 39
• This simultaneous use heavily burdens his spiritual sea, and a clone cannot use its own martial soul while Li Qingming borrows it. 39
• All three bodies remain Li Qingming himself rather than independent entities; their emotions and consciousness are synchronized. 123
• Light Clone — A later clone used for covert activity, including a return from Shrek and the delivery of a letter to Xu Tianran. After recovering from severe injuries, Li Qingming re-formed it alongside the Fallen and Ice-Snow Clones. 195 204 215

Sin Prison Gate

His sixth soul skill, supplied by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, manifests as a massive gate that releases corrupting chains. 114 115

• The chains nearly dragged Ma Xiaotao into the gate and corrupted her martial soul. 115
• Li Qingming paired the technique with destructive power inherited from the God King of Destruction. 115
• The technique was dangerous enough to alarm Xuan Zi and the assembled Titled Douluo. 115 117

Time-Type Restoration

Li Qingming possesses a time-type ability that restored roughly half of his expended Soul Power to its peak state during battle. 108

• Its demonstrated effect is rapid recovery of Soul Power. 108
• Observers considered its potential combination with high-level soul tools exceptionally dangerous. 108

Destruction and Life Powers

The Destruction and Life Dao Seeds strengthen all three of Li Qingming's bodies and contributed to his advance into the Soul Emperor realm. 97

• Destruction power increases the offensive force of his soul skills. 97
• Life energy continuously nourishes his bodies and increases his vitality. 97
• He can influence vitality, absorb power from the Golden Ancient Tree, and potentially devour others' life force. 97
• Against the former Sun Moon emperor, he detonated destructive power within an ice-and-snow sword, then pierced and annihilated his opponent with a Destruction Sword. 188

Soul Engineering

Li Qingming's immense spiritual power gives him exceptional pattern-recognition, memorization, and crafting speed despite early assumptions that he lacked soul-engineering talent. 33 36

• Memorizes low-level soul-tool formations after minimal study. 36
• Crafted a Class 1 Power-Gathering Ring in fifteen minutes. 36
• Crafted a Level 3 artillery shell and completed its core formation in roughly ten minutes. 57
• Guided Meng Hongchen to become a Grade 3 Soul Engineer. 62
• Became a specially appointed Hall of Illustrious Virtue member and received a private office after reaching Level Six Soul Engineer. 164
• Advanced to Level Seven Soul Engineer while still thirteen years old. 164
• His expertise did not allow him to decipher the incomplete blueprint for an exceptionally advanced tower-type soul tool delivered by Zhongli Wu. He regards soul tools as supplementary to cultivating his own power. 193 196

Alchemy

Li Qingming began studying alchemy after Xu Tianran supplied him with rare spirit herbs and other resources. 124

• He can refine spirit herbs into medicinal pills. 124
• His access to imperial herbs and cultivation pills supports his continued rapid advancement at the Soul Emperor level and beyond. 124 128
• After the change of emperor, he obtained further herbs from the imperial treasury and refined pills while Wang Dong'er and Meng Hongchen accompanied him. 193 195

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Angel Set soul bones — Reclaimed portions of Qian Renxue's former god-level soul-bone set.
  • Skull bone, described as the strongest piece of the set. 49
  • Right leg bone, selected as his second soul bone. 50
  • Torso bone, acquired as compensation from Sea God's Pavilion. 68
  • Fusion changed their power from Sacred Angel to Judgment Angel. 50
  • At five rings, the Set could manifest illusory armor, including a helmet, breastplate, and leg armor. 72
• Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion arm bone — Began fusing with it after absorbing Snow Empress's power. 92
• Storage ring — A transparent ring worn on his index finger. 68
• Imperial resource storage rings — Xu Tianran and the Sun Moon imperial court supplied rings containing extensive resources, including rare ten-thousand-year spirit herbs and cultivation pills. 124 128
• Purple longsword — A trump card used to force Xuan Zi to choose between pursuing Li Qingming and saving Ma Xiaotao. 116
• Hall of Illustrious Virtue workshop access — Jing Hongchen provided a research workbench, a top-tier academy VIP card, and 500,000 Gold Soul Coins. 58
• Hongchen's Blessing — A Level Nine soul tool whose disappearance Li Qingming feared Mu En might investigate. 154
• Later imperial spirit-herb supplies — Xu Tianran offered fifteen ten-thousand-year spirit herbs to secure Li Qingming's help in taking the throne; Li Qingming subsequently took further herbs from the Sun Moon treasury. 185 193
• Incomplete tower-type soul-tool blueprint — Delivered on Zhongli Wu's behalf in a pellet; its structure exceeded Li Qingming's ability to decipher as a Seventh-Rank Soul Engineer. 196

Relationships

• Qian Renxue — His cousin and the source of his Angel God inheritance; her remnant soul lives within his spiritual sea as a childlike soul spirit. 3 39
• Ye Xishui — Rescuer and coercive controller; made him ingest the Soul-Eating Pill and assigned him to infiltrate Shrek Academy. After Mu En's death, Li Qingming expected her to try to control or kill him and prepared to confront her. 2 196 215
• Nangong Wan — Holy Spirit Cult superior assigned to escort and oversee him during his Shrek mission. Li Qingming later contacted him and attempted to lure him to the Extreme Northern Snowfield as a sacrifice for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. 2 129
• Wang Dong / Wang Dong'er — Shrek roommate, close companion, and Martial Soul Fusion Skill partner; their relationship develops from confrontation into mutual reliance and romantic affection. Li Qingming accepted her identity as a girl, and the two later openly acknowledged their intimate relationship. She remained close to him through the imperial upheaval and learned of his role in it. 4 27 68 100 102 153 183 194
• Ma Xiaotao — Recipient of his sacred-power treatment for evil-fire corruption; Li Qingming helps evolve her martial soul toward a Holy Phoenix, though their relationship becomes strained. 27 48
• Ice Empress — Collaborator who helps create the Ice-Snow Clone and resides in his spiritual sea; she supports his choices while remaining concerned about their risks. 31 97
• Snow Empress — Li Qingming seeks to rescue her; after her fusion process, her childlike form calls him “Daddy” and depends on him. 73 92
• Dark Demon Evil God Tiger — Source of the Fallen Clone's core, its soul rings, and Li Qingming's sixth soul skill; serves as a cunning adviser in his spiritual sea. 32 43 73 114
• Xu Tianran — Crown Prince whose service Li Qingming accepts in exchange for resources and political support. Xu Tianran later sought to become his sworn brother, but Li Qingming refused while promising that he would not betray the prince so long as Xu Tianran did not betray him. Li Qingming subsequently killed Xu Tianran's father to enable his accession and was appointed Imperial Preceptor. Their cooperation remained politically calculated; Li Qingming later demanded imperial neutrality in his conflict with Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. 32 123 124 188 196 215
• Meng Hongchen — Soul-engineering collaborator, romantic partner, and fiancée. After Li Qingming disclosed his clone arrangement and relationship with Wang Dong'er, Meng Hongchen chose to remain with him; they later entered a formal verbal engagement. She continued to appear publicly with him and learned of his role in the imperial succession. 36 58 101 163 164 183 194
• Jing Hongchen — Initially wary of him, then becomes an investor and protector after recognizing his soul-engineering talent. He later supported Li Qingming's entry into the Hall of Illustrious Virtue. Soul Engineers from the academy protected and escorted Li Qingming after his battle during Xu Tianran's coup. 58 116 164 191
• Ma Rulong — A supposed brother with a shared past but no present connection; Li Qingming's Fallen Clone decisively defeated him in a duel. 78
• Mu En — Shrek's Sea God's Pavilion Master, who privately suspects that Li Qingming may threaten the Pavilion but conceals those suspicions. Li Qingming later helped bring about his death through a calculated trap. 153 183 196
• Xuan Zi — Shrek elder and open adversary after attempting to kill Li Qingming during the tournament. Mu En later tasked Xuan Zi with protecting Li Qingming without revealing his doubts. 115 117 153
• Tang San — Li Qingming's ultimate enemy; Li Qingming intends to kill him and seize the Sea God and Asura powers within him. 97
• Zhongli Wu — Holy Spirit Cult leader with whom Li Qingming first negotiated during the tournament. After Mu En's death, their interests aligned against Ye Xishui; Zhongli Wu later sent him an incomplete advanced soul-tool blueprint. 81 183 196
• Kong Deming — His nominal soul-engineering master. Li Qingming later regarded Kong Deming's refusal to help him as effectively severing their master–disciple bond. 33 34 216
• Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji — Accompanied Li Qingming from Life Lake Shore back to the Sun Moon Empire. Their concerns lay with the Soul Beast Race rather than the empire's human war. 215
• The former Sun Moon emperor — Initially recognized Li Qingming's importance as a prodigy. Li Qingming later assassinated him as part of Xu Tianran's succession plan. 121 188

Story Role / Major Arcs

Shrek Academy Infiltration

Li Qingming enters Shrek as Ye Xishui's controlled spy, concealing the Fallen Angel martial soul while cultivating the Sacred Angel. He becomes a core disciple, defeats rivals including Xu Sanshi and Dai Huabin, and establishes himself as one of the academy's strongest students. 2 3 10 25 62

Far North Expedition and Clone Creation

After helping Ma Xiaotao suppress her evil fire, he enters the Far North to find Ice Empress and investigate Snow Empress's situation. He creates the Ice-Snow Clone with Ice Empress's assistance, giving himself another martial soul and body. 27 31 38

Sun Moon Academy Career

The Fallen Clone joins the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, pledges service to Xu Tianran, and studies under Kong Deming in name. Li Qingming rapidly advances through the Soul Engineer ranks, earns Meng Hongchen's support, and gains Jing Hongchen's investment. 32 33 38 57 58

National Soul Master Tournament

Li Qingming's original body helps lead Shrek's reserve team, including forming a Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Wang Dong. Meanwhile, his Fallen Clone represents the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, allowing him to position both sides of the conflict under his own control. 74 100 101 106

The Fallen Clone defeats Dai Yueheng, overwhelms Ma Xiaotao with Sin Prison Gate, and forces Xuan Zi into retreat with the threat of escalation from Jing Hongchen. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy defeats Shrek, ending Shrek's long-held tournament dominance. 106 115 116 117

Aftermath

Following the tournament, Shrek's leadership recognizes that Li Qingming's bloodline and Angel Set compatibility may be exploitable. Xuan Zi offers another god-level soul bone as compensation, while the Sun Moon Empire increasingly views Li Qingming as a future pillar of power. 119 121

Shrek's students subsequently treat Li Qingming with coldness and blame because of his clone's victory, while the Sun Moon Empire celebrates him as the figure who broke Shrek's ten-thousand-year tournament dominance. 120 122

Imperial Patronage and Far North Schemes

Li Qingming rejects Xu Tianran's proposed sworn brotherhood but accepts the prince's resources and establishes a conditional alliance based on mutual nonbetrayal. He uses the resources to begin alchemy and continues leveraging the Sun Moon Empire's support to advance his cultivation. 123 124

After being punished alongside Wang Dong'er at the Cliff of Reflection, he becomes increasingly detached from Shrek's ideals. He chooses not to participate in the academy exchange program, instead leaving for the Extreme Northern Snowfield while secretly arranging to draw Nangong Wan there for his own purposes. 127 129 130

Return, Revelation, and Rise to Soul Sage

Li Qingming returns safely from the Far North to an openly supportive Sun Moon Empire. Meng Hongchen publicly embraces him, and he later reveals to her the existence of his clone bodies, his time in the snowfield, and Wang Dong'er's place in his life, withholding only his deepest powers and godhood ambitions. 163

Over the following year, he becomes a specially appointed member of the Hall of Illustrious Virtue, reaches the peak of Soul Emperor, advances to Soul Sage with a ten-thousand-year Evil Eye Tyrant Lord soul ring, and becomes a Level Seven Soul Engineer. His verbal engagement to Meng Hongchen and the personal gifts offered by Xu Tianran and the Third Prince further establish him as one of the Sun Moon Empire's most important future figures. 164

Mu En's Death and the Imperial Succession

Li Qingming helps bring about Mu En's death and finds a tacit partner in Zhongli Wu, who also has reason to fear Ye Xishui's reaction. Li Qingming then offers Xu Tianran a path to the throne: he will assassinate the reigning emperor, use his Shrek identity to support a false account of the attack, and receive the position of Imperial Preceptor. Xu Tianran supplies rare spirit herbs and accepts the plan. 180 183 185 196

Li Qingming kills the emperor in the Imperial Palace, escapes pursuit, and survives a further battle that leaves him badly injured. Xu Tianran secures the palace and ascends the throne. The official account blames Shrek Academy for the emperor's death, while Li Qingming privately tells Wang Dong'er and Meng Hongchen what happened. Xu Tianran subsequently appoints him Imperial Preceptor. 188 191 193 194 196

Conflict with Ye Xishui and Return from Life Lake

Knowing that Ye Xishui may retaliate for Mu En's death against both him and those close to him, Li Qingming prepares for a confrontation. A later crisis leaves him severely injured, requiring his soul spirits to preserve his life while his martial souls and clones recover. 196 204

Li Qingming returns from Life Lake Shore with Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, and Bi Ji to find Ye Xishui again acting as imperial preceptor and the Sun Moon Empire at war. He re-forms his three clones, sends the Ice-Snow Clone toward the Far North, and uses the Light Clone to deliver Xu Tianran a demand: the imperial family must remain neutral when he fights Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao. 215

Notable Quotes

“Today, I am only a six-ringed Soul Emperor. Naturally, I am no match for you. But the day I step into the realm of a Titled Douluo will be the day you all die.” 117

Trivia

• Although his bodies can act separately, all three are manifestations of Li Qingming with synchronized emotions and consciousness. 123
• His engagement to Meng Hongchen is a verbal agreement rather than a formal ceremony because of their age. 164
• He initially sought the position of Sun Moon Imperial Preceptor as part of his bargain with Xu Tianran; Ye Xishui later reappeared bearing the same title. 180 196 215
