Background / History

Yang Wenqing became aware of the world at the age of five, gaining innate knowledge and memories from a past life that helped him grow up rapidly 1. Recognizing that the City Defense Bureau was the primary institution maintaining order and providing access to cultivation techniques in a civilization where Daoist arts and technology coexisted, he chose to join it 1. Operating out of an ordinary background with no initial backing, he relied on his patience, discipline, analytical ability, and the unique assistance of his internal Golden Core World Projection—where spiritual energy consumption was greatly reduced—to steadily advance through the Qi Refining and Marrow Cleansing stages while concealing his true strength during combat drills 6 34 50.

His exceptional aptitude eventually caught the attention of Deputy Director Gao and Director Qin, leading to his formal induction as a true disciple into the prestigious Profound Peak Lineage under Qin Huaiming 34 152 162. Over decades of service, Yang transitioned from a local county investigator into a prominent military and political commander. He advanced through the Guardian Corps, took command of the Third Section, and later served as a key strategist and Marching Commissioner during the military campaigns against the New Continent and the Eastern Sea's Aquatic Clans, ultimately attaining high-ranking positions within the Southern Theater Command and securing the legacy of his lineage 329 403 493 574.
