Background / History

Early life

Upal describes himself as the sole survivor of a meteorite strike that destroyed his home planet; the meteorite itself was a Cosmic Level treasure. He claims that fortuitous encounters repeatedly elevated him, including secret realms that advanced his cultivation and supplied him with artifacts. 351

His extraordinary luck became the basis of his identity as the “Child of Fortune.” Before arriving at Blue Star, he had casually obtained a Cosmic Venerable-grade artifact, survived being trapped in a King-Ranked Immortal tomb, and accumulated Star Ore and other treasures through secret-realm explorations. 275

Appearance

Upal commonly assumes the appearance of a middle-aged human man while operating among humans. 278 His original body is a large alien form, over three meters tall. 273

• Turtle-like face with three tentacles growing from his head. 273
• Bluish-green skin. 273
• Can conceal his identity by taking human form. 275 278
• Later carries the Black Tortoise Remnant Shell as his signature defensive equipment. 722 742

Personality

Upal is boastful, acquisitive, and intensely confident in his own fortune. He routinely interprets unexpected discoveries as proof that fate favors him, whether he is finding an Apocalypse Bearer, a secret realm, or a rare artifact. 275 344

His arrogance is tempered by a strong survival instinct. When faced with Lin Chen's superior power, Upal repeatedly abandons treasures, attempts to escape, or offers information in exchange for his life. 282 350 548 552 After becoming dependent on Lin Chen, he remains sharp-tongued and shameless, but increasingly acts as a loyal—if reluctant—subordinate. 578 701 772

“The first half of my life, Upal's life, was just too smooth. It only became rough after I met you...” 351

• Repeatedly acquires artifacts far above his apparent cultivation level. 275 350 552

• Located the hidden Moon Palace ruins on the far side of Blue Star's moon. 627

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Divine Movement Boots — An Immortal-level artifact that increases his speed one hundredfold for a short time; enabled him to overcome Wood Gate's gravity-suppressed stairway. Lin Chen later confiscated them. 347 351
• Black Cube Device — Used to escape Lin Chen's pursuit on Blue Star by transporting Upal far away from the planet. 282
• Jade Tripod — A relic Upal found in the Soaring Star River; its connection to the Seven-Colored Altar drew Lin Chen's interest. 351
• Eternal True God Weapons — Upal accumulated and deployed multiple divine weapons, including a ring-shaped weapon and a demon-subduing pestle, while attempting to withstand Lin Chen. 552

• Lin Jia — Upal identified her as an Apocalypse Bearer and tried to forcibly take her as his disciple, triggering his conflict with Lin Chen. 275 278 281
• Divine Flame — Lin Chen used Divine Flame's role as a battle slave to deceive Upal into surrendering artifacts during their encounter in Wood Gate. 349 350
• Parson — Served as Upal's mine overseer while Upal was punished on Blue Star; both resented the arrangement. 605 620
• Sheng Hui — Accompanies Upal and Lin Chen during Strange Land and Blue Star expeditions; their interactions are frequently hostile and sarcastic. 577 620
• Old Zhang and the Magic Mage — Attempted to protect Lin Jia from Upal during his arrival at Martial Arts University No. 7, but were effortlessly defeated. 278 279

Story Role / Major Arcs

Blue Star invasion

Upal arrives on Blue Star after sensing the aura of treasure and dismisses the planet as a weak, low-level civilization. He discovers Lin Jia's Apocalypse Bearer aura, attempts to make her his disciple, and threatens Lin Chen to force her compliance. 273 275 278

His attack on Lin Jia draws Chuan City's strongest defenders, whom he defeats with Stellar Level power. Lin Chen's arrival exposes Upal's fatal miscalculation: Lin Jia's supposedly insignificant brother is the Black Death God and a Grand Psychic. 279 280 281

Lin Chen pursues him across Blue Star, shattering more than a dozen of Upal's Cosmic Level artifacts and taking his starry sky ring before Upal escapes with a black cube device. 282

Wood Gate and capture

After reaching peak Domain Lord Level, Upal encounters Wood Gate through another stroke of luck and enters its ruins. 344 There, he meets Lin Chen again and attempts to buy Divine Flame in order to avenge himself. 349 350

Lin Chen exploits Upal's greed, takes his artifacts and Divine Movement Boots, and forces him to reveal the Jade Tripod's origin in the Soaring Star River. 350 351

Repeated encounters and submission

Upal continues to encounter Lin Chen wherever valuable inheritances and treasures appear. In the Metal World of Eternal City, he tries to escape after recognizing Lin Chen, then surrenders a True God-grade saber and other treasures to avoid another confrontation. 548 549

After attempting revenge as a Lord of the Universe, Upal deploys several Eternal True God Weapons but again flees through an Escape Gate. 550 552 Later, trapped in the Strange Land, he begs Lin Chen for help and becomes part of Lin Chen's expedition group. 574 577 578

Mining punishment and return to Lin Chen

Upal is punished for his past actions by being made to mine ore in Chuan City under Parson's supervision. 605 He eventually regrets refusing Lin Chen's earlier offer, accepts another chance to serve him, and is brought to the Myriad Races Research Institute to assist with research into Blue Star's ancient stone stele. 620

Divine Turtle Immortal

After Upal is manipulated into helping repair the Black Tortoise Remnant Shell, Lin Chen gives him the completed shell. Its defensive power turns Upal into the “Divine Turtle Immortal,” allowing him to withstand attacks that would otherwise overwhelm him. 722

Lin Chen subsequently uses Upal as a living shield against Black Demon and Red Demon. Upal embraces the role, taunting opponents from behind the shell's protection. 742

Later expeditions

Upal aids Lin Chen's group in searching for Golden Tower Fragments and participates in the Red Crow Star operation, where he rescues Blue Star Space Legion soldiers before being saved from the Star Lord by Lin Chen. 699 700 701

In the Three Realms, he remains a loud and opportunistic member of Lin Chen's group. Lin Chen eventually grants him the Primordial Chaos Overlord-level Origin of Rules discovered at the Haoran Sword Sect. 779 789
