Background

Fang Yan awakened on Yinghuo Star as the only son of Fang Lie, the Fang Family’s Seventh Elder. He retained memories of a previous life in the Gu Insect World, where Dragon Duke killed him by crushing his body; the experience left him intensely wary of death and unwilling to risk himself for empty pride 1.

His transmigration gave him two bodies: a human body and a Spring Autumn Cicada avatar. Under the Primordial Universe’s laws, the cicada evolved into a thousandfold-genetic-level special lifeform, becoming the foundation of Fang Yan’s unusual cultivation and survival methods 1.

Although the Fang Family is predominantly fire-aligned, Fang Yan displayed exceptional wind affinity from the Stellar level onward. The family built Sky Pillar Peak for his cultivation and kept him on Yinghuo Star for protection, while his status earned him the embarrassing but influential title of “Little Holy Son” 2 5.

Appearance

Fang Yan commonly appears in a refined human form, often wearing wide-sleeved azure robes and gold-rimmed glasses. After possessing the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast, he can return to this familiar human appearance at will 24 47.

• His Cosmic Wind Haze Beast form is a snow-white, elegant beast approximately ten kilometers long, with Wind and Time Law patterns flowing through its fur 47.
• The beast body manifests a spreading white haze when using its innate technique, Cosmic Wind Haze 47.
• When wearing the Black Lotus Battle Armor, he is covered in black armor threaded with flowing gold patterns 44.
• He can disguise himself through time-based transformation arts, including the female Black Sky Lotus identity Hei Loulan and the appearance of Red Lotus Demon Venerable 37 50.

Personality

Fang Yan is cautious, pragmatic, and deeply survival-oriented. He avoids unnecessary battles, safeguards his Origin Core before entering danger, and willingly lets a disposable avatar face risks rather than endanger his true foundation 18 19 28.

He has a sarcastic, theatrical sense of humor and frequently masks serious calculations with jokes, poetry, or grand speeches. His public declaration of devotion to humanity was initially improvised to satisfy the Hong Alliance’s evaluators, though the trust shown by Chaos Lord gradually gives that commitment more sincerity 10 11 26.

In combat, Fang Yan considers effectiveness more valuable than conventional honor. He uses evasion, ambushes, time manipulation, and God-Killing Powder without hesitation, calling such methods “wisdom” when confronting stronger opponents 16 17 31.

His time among the Black Sky Lotus Race complicates this ruthlessness. While infiltrating them, he develops genuine attachment to Hei Sisi, Hei Miaomiao, and Black Sky Overlord, ultimately risking himself to preserve the race’s future 38 40 43.

Abilities & Skills

Spring Autumn Cicada Avatar

Fang Yan’s cicada avatar is a colossal special lifeform with a thousandfold genetic level. It is his greatest source of raw power and safeguards his Origin Core when he sends other bodies into danger 1 19.

• Possesses immense base strength; after completing the Divine General Legacy, its base combat power reaches the peak King-sealing level 22.
• Can absorb Time Law directly from the Primordial Universe’s Law Ocean during Fang Yan’s Immortal breakthrough 47.
• Its exceptionally durable Origin Core initially prevents Fang Yan from breaking through by conventional means 27.
• Cannot fuse with Xun Cosmic Crystals 24.

Time Reversal

The Spring Autumn Cicada’s innate secret technique reverses events within a limited area. At the World Lord stage, Fang Yan can reverse one minute inside a ten-meter radius, either excluding or including himself in the reversal 1 6.

• Restores consumed cultivation resources, including Wind Crystal Spirit Fruits and the Wind Origin Crystal, without undoing Fang Yan’s gained comprehension 1 4.
• Heals lethal injuries, reverses poison damage, repairs clothing, and restores destroyed cells 6.
• Saved Fang Yan after his human avatar was destroyed by Black Sky Lotus petals by reversing ten seconds of local time 35.
• He conceals its true nature by calling it the restorative innate technique Three Qi Return 8.
• Its larger-scale use can reverse battlefield damage across the Dawn Zone, but requires extraordinary support from the Law Ocean 42.

Time Shuttle and Time Pause

Fang Yan developed Time Shuttle as an offensive Time Law technique, changing his fighting style from purely restorative to actively lethal 7.

• Time Shuttle forms a shuttle-shaped temporal attack that strikes an enemy’s divine body and impedes evasion 7.
• It ages and destroys targets, allowing Fang Yan to kill peak World Lord Divining Wind Beasts and harvest their Wind Origin Essence 19.
• Time Pause freezes surrounding space and can immobilize weaker Immortals long enough for Fang Yan to kill them with the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear 30.
• Powerful opponents can resist Time Pause by burning divine body strength 30.

Wind-Time Fusion: *Late Wind*

Late Wind is Fang Yan’s self-created top-tier secret technique, fusing the Laws of Wind and Time. He spent more than 100,000 years deducing, revising, and testing it before Black Sky Overlord supplied the insight that completed it 33 40.

• Can be executed with the Replica Windbearing Divine Spear or the World-Ending Sword 45 48.
• Its sword form can silently erase roughly 30% of an Initial King’s divine body 48.
• It allowed Fang Yan to shatter his Origin Core and advance to Immortal 47.
• With the Black Lotus Battle Armor and Hei Lian’s power, it delivered the decisive strike against Venerable Yu Qing 45.

Xun Cosmic Power

Fang Yan fused six Xun Cosmic Crystals directly through his blood after discovering that the Spring Autumn Cicada could not absorb them 24.

• Produces blue-silver patterns across his body when activated 24.
• Grants approximately a 2.5-fold strength enhancement after six crystals 24.
• He believes fusing all ten crystals could provide a tenfold enhancement 24.

Cosmic Wind Haze Beast

After receiving a special-lifeform reward from Chaos Lord, Fang Yan possesses the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast, a 520-fold-genetic-level body suited to Wind-Time Fusion 46.

• Cosmic Wind Haze — creates a white haze domain equivalent to a domain treasure’s effect 46 47.
• Transformation — can assume the appearance of forms it has seen 46.
• Cosmic Wind Body — grants natural compatibility with the Wind-Time Fusion Law path 46.

Disguise and Infiltration

Fang Yan is highly capable of concealment, identity manipulation, and social performance. His Gu World experience complements time-based auxiliary arts such as Borrowed Corpse Illusory Form 36.

• Replicates a target’s appearance, aura, soul fluctuations, and temporal imprints for temporary disguise 36.
• Infiltrated the Black Sky Lotus Race as Hei Loulan for three years 38.
• Uses Familiar at First Meeting to disguise himself as Red Lotus Demon Venerable before entering the Ancestral God Secret Realm 50.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Wind-Following Wings — Three merged wing sets that form six translucent azure wings; grant peak King-Level Immortal flight speed 8.
• Black Lotus Battle Armor — Created from Hei Lian’s petals; merges Fang Yan’s base combat power with hers at a 100% rate. Full output lasts one hour and does not defend against soul attacks 44.
• World-Ending Sword — A common supreme treasure given to him by Hei Lian 46.
• Replica Windbearing Divine Spear — Used with Time Pause and Late Wind against Immortals and Venerable Yu Qing 30 45.
• God-Killing Powder — Colorless, odorless poison concealed in his wide sleeves; capable of killing Elementary King-Level Immortals and gravely threatening stronger targets 16 17.
• Flightless Bird / Footless Bird — F9-class spacecraft with advanced shields, G-class armor, and stealth systems 16 18.
• Wind-Time Beast God Inheritance Token — Grants access to Wind-Time Fusion inheritances in the Ancestral God Cult 23.
• Saint Heir Token — Unique Flame Ruins Universe Country token used to gain entry to the Black Heaven Secret Realm 34.
• Law Leaf — A Time Law insight leaf created for him by Hei Sisi; he preserves it as a memento rather than using it for cultivation 38.

Relationships

• Fang Lie — Father and the Fang Family’s Seventh Elder. Their relationship is affectionate but rough, marked by Fang Lie’s powerful shoulder slaps and steadfast protection 1 28 50.
• Flame Ruins King / Flame Ruins Venerable — Fang Yan’s ancestor and principal protector. He gives Fang Yan the Wind-Following Wings, supports his cultivation, and later rules Flame Ruins Universe Country 8 33.
• Chaos Lord — Powerful patron who supports Fang Yan’s Wind-Time path, grants access to the Chaos Steles, rewards him with a special lifeform, and protects his Hong Alliance identity 14 15 26 46.

• Hei Miaomiao — An affectionate Black Sky Lotus who accepts Fang Yan despite his deception and later accompanies him as battle armor 38 45.

• Nine Universe King / Nine Universe Venerable — Hong Alliance advocate who records Fang Yan’s speech, forwards it to Chaos Lord, and helps secure his opportunities 11 14 48.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Early Cultivation on Yinghuo Star

Fang Yan exploits Time Reversal to repeatedly restore wind-element resources, gains recognition from the Law of Wind, and becomes the Fang Family’s exceptional wind-aligned prodigy 1 4. His survival after an assassination exposes the practical terror of his cicada avatar, while his first Time Shuttle battle proves that he can defeat a High Immortal Lord as a World Lord 6 7.

Hong Alliance Recognition

His evasive ten-minute battle against Ice Qiong King earns him the reputation of the Six-Wing World Lord and opens the path to hidden Hong Alliance membership 10 11 15. Chaos Lord offers to accept him as a disciple, but Fang Yan declines to pursue the unprecedented Wind-Time Fusion path independently 13.

Wind Abyss Star and Divine General Legacy

Chaos Lord sends Fang Yan to Wind Abyss Star to seek complete Wind Law comprehension. There, he hunts Divining Wind Beasts, discovers the Wind-Nurturing Divine General Legacy, and eventually encounters the Wind Beast God 18 20 23. The encounter earns him Xun Cosmic Crystals, the Beast God inheritance token, and a future path into the Ancestral God Cult 23 24.

War Against the Spirit Magpie Race

After failing to complete Late Wind in seclusion, Fang Yan joins humanity’s assault on the Spirit Magpie Race 28. He kills multiple Immortals with Time Pause, defeats a Spirit Magpie Marquis with God-Killing Powder, and develops a reputation for ruthless resource collection after the campaign 30 31.

Black Heaven Secret Realm

Seeking real combat insight, Fang Yan enters the Black Heaven Secret Realm, where his human avatar is immediately destroyed and restored through Time Reversal 34 35. He infiltrates the Black Sky Lotus Race as Hei Loulan, grows attached to its people, and receives the final Time Law insight needed to complete Late Wind 38 40.

Black Sky Overlord’s Breakthrough

When Venerable Yu Qing attacks during Black Sky Overlord’s ascension, Fang Yan reverses the destruction in the Dawn Zone and uses a soul technique to force a choice between enslavement and voluntary acknowledgment 42 43. Hei Lian becomes his subordinate, and Fang Yan later helps Great Axe Venerable and Void Gold Venerable kill Yu Qing with Late Wind and the Black Lotus Battle Armor 44 45.

Immortal Ascension and Later Journey

Fang Yan abandons his human body for the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast, then becomes an Immortal by shattering his Origin Core with Late Wind 46 47. He creates a Divine Kingdom modeled after the Gu World’s Five Regions and later departs for the Ancestral God Secret Realm after gifting Fang Lie a Flame Path Gu killing move 48 50.
