Personality

As Bai Fan’s simulations expose future events, Tang San becomes possessive over opportunities connected to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and increasingly hostile toward Bai Fan. He dismisses the Screen’s revelations as slander, attempts to calculate its origin, and later concludes that its simulated lives must end in death. 6 7 62
His dealings with Bai Fan reveal a controlling and authoritarian side. Tang San considers Bai Fan a pawn, attempts to dictate his divine future, and treats disobedience—whether from Bai Fan, Wang Dong, or soul beasts—as a threat to his authority. 61 62 71 79

Relationships

- Bai Fan — Primary adversary. Tang San seeks to control Bai Fan as a pawn, offers him conditional godhood, and ultimately orders his death when Bai Fan refuses to submit. 62 71 82

Story Role / Major Arcs
Heavenly Screen Exposure
Tang San first appears as Yu Xiaogang’s devoted student, admiring the simulated Yu Xiaogang’s defiant declaration and questioning why his teacher never spoke so boldly in the past. 1
As the Screen reveals Yu Xiaogang’s limitations and alleged plagiarism, Tang San continues defending him. He becomes distressed when Bai Fan reaches the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, regarding its Immortal Herbs as treasures that should belong to him. 2 6
Bai Fan’s broadcast claims that Tang San would exploit Dugu Bo, strip the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well of its resources, and leave Dugu Yan alone after Dugu Bo’s death. The revelation drives Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan to swear hostility toward Tang San. 7
God Realm Opposition to Bai Fan
Tang San grows wary when Bai Fan develops self-created skills and revolutionary influence. He concludes that Bai Fan intends to defy him and states that Bai Fan cannot be allowed to live. 21
After Bai Fan becomes entangled with Wang Dong, Tang San reacts with hostility to Bai Fan’s lack of reverence toward his daughter. He later watches Bai Fan’s attempt to place a soul fragment inside Wang Dong and declares that Bai Fan will never escape his control. 53 61
Tang San extracts and destroys Bai Fan’s implanted soul fragment from Wang Dong, but overlooks the traces of soul power that had already fused with her. 62
Heaven-and-Earth Questioning Love Valley
Tang San manifests before Bai Fan during the final trial at Heaven-and-Earth Questioning Love Valley. Bai Fan identifies him immediately as the Tang Sect’s founder and a God-King. 70 71
Tang San repeatedly restores Bai Fan while he uses self-destructive cultivation to expand his dantian and compress his spiritual power. Tang San then offers Bai Fan first-class godhood, but Bai Fan rejects the offer and demands the status of God-King instead. 71
When Bai Fan challenges his authority and suggests Tang San may himself be a pawn of fate, Tang San abandons recruitment and declares that Bai Fan will eventually submit. 71
Conflict over Tang Wutong and Bai Fan
Tang San’s influence is tied to Tang Wutong’s betrayal of Wang Qiu’er. After Wang Qiu’er’s death, Bai Fan recognizes Tang San’s involvement and vows never to coexist with him. 77
Tang Wutong later confronts Tang San over suspected tampering with her body and memories. Tang San effectively confirms her suspicions, orders her to remain in the God Realm, and states that Bai Fan is destined to become their enemy. 79
Forced End of the Simulation
When Bai Fan refuses to yield and continues opposing the God Realm, Tang San issues his death sentence. He restrains Bai Fan with Unfixed Storm and attacks both Bai Fan and Huo Yun’er with blue divine light. 82
