Background

Ye Zhuo's first life was that of an ordinary human who lived to ninety-nine and died naturally. He remained single to complete his first role-play mission, spent his life accumulating knowledge and combat training, and received Photographic Memory after completing the role of “an ordinary human.” 1

He awakened as a slave identified only as “number 13” in a Sabaody Archipelago auction house. There, the Myriad Heavens Role-Playing System assigned him the Shendu template and ordered him to execute a Celestial Dragon in public. Ye Zhuo escaped, killed three Celestial Dragons, and fulfilled the mission by executing Saint Charlos in the street. 1

His system subsequently moves him among worlds and assigns templates, quests, and rewards. His most prominent roles are Shendu in the Pirate World, Duan Yu in the Ancient Martial World, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in the Heroic Spirit World, Heavenly Lord Tongtian in the Journey to the West World, and Destiny Daoist in the Primordial World. 1 180 238 289 328

Appearance

Ye Zhuo is initially described as a very handsome, silent youth. His appearance changes substantially with his active template, though he repeatedly favors black robes and black armor. 1 78 238

• Pirate World — A tall young man with a youthful face and notably balanced proportions. 78
• Heroic Spirit World — In Great Sage Equal to Heaven's body, he stands nine chi tall with a diamond-bodied ape physique, black armor, and a black robe. 238
• Demon God guise — Often appears as a tall, burly man in black armor and robes, resembling the Demon God statues worshipped by mortals. 251
• Shadowless Ye Zhuo — A thought-manifestation identical to Ye Zhuo except that he has no shadow. 347

Personality

Ye Zhuo is calm, self-assured, and rarely intimidated by authority. His first major act in the Pirate World—publicly executing a Celestial Dragon—establishes his contempt for inherited status and his willingness to impose his own judgment through force. 1

He treats system missions literally and pragmatically, often pursuing their requirements with little concern for political or social consequences. He calls himself a pirate rather than a strategist, yet repeatedly reshapes entire nations, sects, and worlds through direct intervention. 15 184 262

Despite his brutality toward enemies, Ye Zhuo is a dedicated teacher. He establishes the Demon Cult, creates and disseminates cultivation methods, raises disciples, and later devotes extensive resources to the Human Clan's survival and development. 184 192 330 332

His habits from his first life remain visible: he values health, requests six meals per day, and continues to practice and refine every art available to him. 1 6
