Lincon

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Lincon was left behind at Longwind Fortress when its commander and comrades departed to seek another route of survival. He remained alone for three years, surviving the Dark Age while repeatedly searching for the missing group. His twenty-sixth search fails after he finds Great Cang Village reduced to a dead zone, but he still records the route and maintains shrines in case the others ever return. 1

During this isolation, he develops an unusually restrained temperament and extensive knowledge of Dark Creatures. He initially believes the Seed Mark in his palm is his sole extraordinary advantage, only learning after absorbing one hundred Dark Creatures that it belongs to his secondary class, Plant Cultivator; his primary path is the Lord talent of the Longwind Fortress Guardian. 1 2

Lincon transforms Longwind Fortress from a decaying refuge into a settlement capable of producing food, housing survivors, defending itself with Spirit Plants and Runes, and eventually absorbing rival factions. His goal gradually shifts from waiting for his former comrades to establishing a lasting civilization able to resist darkness, human predation, and the Black Tide. 6 40 116 202

After completing his second advancement, Lincon expands Longwind Fortress into Longwind City and establishes a second territory around the Jiangzhou Abyss Rift. He turns captured Abyssal creatures into the Hive Legion, develops Longwind City into a regional center of agriculture, Rune engineering, administration, and military training, and later shelters tens of thousands of survivors from the fallen Great Wall Defense Line. 232 358 437 445

Appearance

Lincon is a tall, straight-backed young man who appears to be in his early twenties. He usually dresses simply in dark robes and carries himself with calm, deliberate movements rather than the arrogance commonly associated with powerful Ability Users. 107

• Black hair that appears crystalline gold under sunlight. 114
• Deep eyes and a composed expression that others compare to a still autumn lake. 107
• High nose bridge, sharp brow bones, and a ruggedly striking appearance. 114
• His Composite States replace his restrained appearance with brilliant armor, golden-red flames, and draconic gauntlets. 135 163
• In Solar Sunflower Armament, he is covered in platinum-white Sunflower Armor. 199
• His later Composite States manifest platinum armor, dragon-scale gauntlets, white-gold flames, and, in Twin Divine Transformation—Dark Form, long hair, a nearly two-meter body, and a markedly more imposing physique. 229 265 434
• Following his Dark Overlord advancement, Luo Chiyou observes an Abyssal Lord-like trace in his aura. 234

Personality

Three years of solitary survival leave Lincon emotionally muted, patient, and highly cautious. He rarely acts without understanding a threat, whether confronting Dark Creatures, negotiating with hostile cities, or cooperating with strangers such as Luo Chiyou. 2 120 122

He is practical rather than conventionally merciful. Lincon can kill infiltrators, exploit enemy forces as bait, and turn fallen enemies into resources, but he also refuses to abandon his people simply because they are weak or compromised. He protects Li Zhouhai during Mental Pollution, grants ordinary residents paths toward power, and uses the Core of the Spring of Life to save wounded defenders after the Territory War. 27 73 98 202

As Longwind Fortress grows, Lincon becomes more willing to display authority publicly. He learns that hope, systems, rewards, and personal protection can create stronger loyalty than fear alone, while still accepting that his territory needs the capacity to punish threats decisively. 73 113 180

Lincon rejects rule through fear alone, believing that it creates temporary submission rather than genuine loyalty. Even as his command over Abyssal creatures becomes increasingly absolute, he continues to distinguish between forced dominion over hostile creatures and the hope-based allegiance he seeks from Longwind City’s human residents. 231 240

The fall of the Great Wall Defense Line deepens his sense of responsibility toward humanity as a whole. Although he retains resentment toward the authorities for the losses surrounding Longwind Fortress, he chooses to support the front line, remains behind to defend it, and later resolves to build Longwind City into the foundation of a counterattack against the Abyss. 387 429 437

Abilities & Skills

Lord Talent

Lincon’s primary talent allows him to establish and govern territory under his sphere of influence.

• Designates Longwind Fortress as his territory and uses Higher-Dimensional Manipulation to move or alter inanimate objects within it. 1 2
• Can control cultivated plants through the same authority, allowing him to reposition defensive formations and reshape terrain. 61 132
• Monitors Longwind Territory through a three-dimensional map, Shrines, and underground plant networks; intruders appear as visible markers regardless of darkness or stealth. 96 129 131
• Uses territorial manipulation to relocate the Misty Forest and force Flint City’s army into a prepared battlefield. 132
• His Rule Edict permits one territory-wide rule each month, though he initially remains cautious about its exact limits. 56
• Establishes a second territory around the Jiangzhou Abyss Rift after becoming Dark Overlord, permitting him to monitor and develop both Longwind City and the Abyssal territory. 232
• Uses Override Control to designate the Great Wall Defense Line as temporary territory without forcibly converting its population into subjects, allowing partial use of his lordly abilities there. 424
• His high-level War Edict reduces Abyssal energy recovery, increases human energy recovery, strengthens lethal combat effects, and intensifies Blue Star’s rejection of Abyssal energy across the Great Wall Defense Line. 425
• Constructs large-scale territorial defenses, including five Great Rune Formations linked through Great Wall beacon towers and Shadow Towers. 429

Dark Overlord and Overlord’s Dominion

After seizing an Abyssal Core, Lincon’s main class changes from Longwind Lord to Dark Overlord.

• Overlord’s Dominion allows him to place an Overlord Mark on captured Dark Creatures, sever their former loyalties, and turn them into subordinates under his command. 231
• Is unaffected by black mist and can construct Dark Nests that hatch Abyssal troops. 231
• Marks the Abyssal Ant Queen, Ant Guard Number One, and later numerous High-Rank Abyssal Lords, forming the foundation of the Hive Legion. 231 329 441
• Receives Shrine Upgrade, allowing significant Shrines to carry his mental projection and enable long-distance communication. 234
• Receives Trial Temple, an advanced Shrine structure in which the Law of Life is ineffective, allowing limited revival after death during training and trials. 234 235
• Gains the Dark Demonic Physique, which strengthens his body, allows short-term physical limit-breaking, grants microscopic Dark Energy control, and can make him resemble a Dark Creature. 390
• Uses his Dark Overlord affinity to conceal his human presence amid Dark Energy and move through Abyssal forces. 435

Seed Mark and Plant Cultivation

The Seed Mark is Lincon’s secondary-class talent and the foundation of his plant evolution.

• Identifies plants, reveals their evolution routes, and spends Sunlight to raise their levels or direct their development. 1 2
• Grants Plant Affinity and Accelerated Growth, allowing rapid cultivation and restoration of damaged plants. 1 47
• Evolves ordinary plants into food sources, defensive flora, Spirit Plants, and sentient guardians. 6 14 39
• Gains Photosynthesis, enabling Sunlight expenditure to accelerate the growth of mid- and high-tier plants. 213
• Uses rare materials such as Sunstones, Dark Matter Crystals, and Ashen Sigh Amber to unlock specialized evolution paths. 52 129 184
• As a Nature Saint, gains Potential Unleashing, allowing him to force major evolutionary breakthroughs in contracted Spirit Plants at immense mental cost. 229 369
• Uses Potential Unleashing to evolve the Gengjin Mother Tree into an A-Rank Spirit Plant and identify it as one of the Five Primordial Elemental God Trees. 369
• At Level 60, selects the Eternal Gardener advancement path, which offers Eternal Garden for evolution and degeneration control and Time Vines for plant-related temporal manipulation. 460

Cooperative Symbiosis

As an Ecological Architect, Lincon can establish symbiotic bonds between people and Spirit Plants.

• Contracts allow the human and plant to share growth, abilities, and damage; both parties’ survival becomes interconnected. 73
• Extends supernatural power to ordinary people as a reward for service to Longwind Fortress. 73
• Uses symbiosis to stabilize Rune Warriors by creating a three-way cycle between human, Dark Creature, and Spirit Plant. 98
• In Individual State, Lincon and contracted Spirit Plants remain separate while sharing portions of one another’s traits and abilities. 163
• Maintains up to ten symbiotic contracts at once; he later dissolves the three Light Sprite contracts to reserve slots for Spirit Plants capable of supporting epic-level combat. 390
• The Light Sprites’ farewell blessing, Glimmering Protection, weakens attacks against his soul even after their contracts are dissolved. 390

Composite State

Lincon can merge with contracted Spirit Plants to create personal weapons, armor, and transformation states.

• Solar Sunflower Armament — surrounds him with Purifying Fire and dramatically increases his physical strength, speed, and defense. It can be maintained for roughly five minutes because of its severe stamina cost. 119
• Dragonblood Gauntlet / Dragon Fist — layers the Dragonblood Flood Dragon Vine over the Solar Sunflower Armament, forming scaled crimson gauntlets and claws; its burden limits Lincon to roughly three minutes. 135
• Rift-Cleaving Dandelion — enables spatial escape, which he uses to bypass Ye Yuan’s Psychic Web and deliver the killing blow. 136
• Divine Morphing / Fire God manifestation — initially an untested third-stage form, it later manifests as Divine Transformation: Fire God, combining the Fire God Tree, Solar Sunflower, and Dragonblood Flood Dragon Vine to create a Pure Fire Domain capable of killing the B-Rank Ant Guard. 163 164
• Kindling Sunflower Composite State — grants platinum armor, a Radiant Domain, and flames capable of burning both Abyssal creatures and mental attacks. 229 230
• Twin Divine Transformation—Dark Form — fuses the Light-Dark Cherry of the Far Shore, Fire God Tree, and Void Dandelion. It grants Dark Shield petals that consume his vitality to form stackable defenses and serves as his strongest known Composite State. 434
• Uses Void Dandelion spatial power, Fire God Tree flames, and the Abyss Blood Dragon Vine in later divine transformations against A-Rank and Epic-level Abyssal enemies. 413 433

Rune Crafting

Lincon develops Runes from personal combat tools into technology usable by his territory.

• Masters Purification, Reinforcement, and Infusion Runes, using them in Shrines, weapons, and defensive formations. 35 36
• Creates consumable Rune Stones, allowing ordinary residents to activate Rune effects without Lincon continuously maintaining the inscriptions. 36
• Builds Rune Arrays, including Reinforced Purification Shrines and a Purification Rune Array capable of cleansing the air. 36
• Learns the Intermediate Precision Rune path, which emphasizes flawless technique and grants derived Runes including Combo, Endurance, Adaptation, Precision, and Heart-Speed. 203
• Develops advanced Rune Golems from Dark-Energy Ore, including seven Longwind Colossi whose individual strength exceeds that of ordinary B-Rank Ability Users. 425 426
• Creates and deploys the Five-Talisman Abyssal Domain Array, Myriad Phenomena Forest Array, Spirit-Sealing Rosy Radiance Array, Rune-Concord Annihilation Array, and Spirit-Ascension Thunder-Summoning Array along the Great Wall Defense Line. 429
• Shares Junior Rune principles and limited Precision-School knowledge with the authorities while retaining Longwind City’s core Rune technologies. 351

Xingyi Fist and Physical Combat

Lincon’s martial ability is enhanced by both classes and later by internal energy.

• Trained in ancient Xingyi Fist by a former comrade; initially considered it calisthenics before his enhanced attributes turned it into a lethal discipline. 7
• Routinely overpowers body-enhancement Ability Users despite presenting himself as merely a Plant Cultivator. 27
• Uses qi-like internal energy to strike through defenses and employ techniques such as Eagle Seize, Cannon Fist, Advancing Collapse Fist, and half-step collapsing punches. 55 66 112 163
• After advancing to Longwind Lord, condenses an Energy Pellet that strengthens attacks, heals wounds, and forms defensive shields. 56
• Kills Flint City Lord Ye Yuan in close combat after breaking through his psychic defenses. 135 136
• Uses his increasingly refined Xingyi Fist, Composite State, and physical attributes to overwhelm A-Rank Abyssal Lords including the Wind Demon Lord and Dugu Zhui. 401 413
• His fighting style increasingly combines martial technique, spatial movement, Spirit Plant armaments, Dark Energy, and overwhelming raw physical strength. 396 433

Rebuilding Longwind Fortress

After meeting Zhang Rui and accepting his first subjects, Lincon shifts from isolated survival to settlement-building. He develops food-producing plants, defensive Spirit Plants, shrines, Rune technology, and administrative institutions including the Letter Bureau, Qingrang Academy, and specialized fortress departments. 12 35 40

Rise of the Longwind Lord

Lincon survives the C-Rank Pale Wraith’s solo trial, advances from Longwind Fortress Guardian to Longwind Lord, and gains Rule Edict. His successful defense against the Black Tide then unlocks Ecological Architect, connecting his personal development directly to the future of the territory. 55 56 67

Conflict with Flint City

Flint City’s repeated infiltration attempts force Lincon to weaponize Longwind Territory itself. He turns the Misty Forest, Shrines, hunting plants, Delirium Mist Dandelions, and Stasis Albizia Trees into layered traps before personally killing Flint City Lord Ye Yuan. 96 129 132 136

Regional Ruler

Following Flint City’s defeat, Lincon refuses reckless expansion but exploits the city’s collapse for people, materials, and knowledge. He integrates survivors and later accepts Black Iron City’s unconditional submission, making Longwind Fortress the region’s central refuge. 138 184 185

Territory War and the Abyss

Lincon leads Longwind Fortress through a devastating Black Tide directed by Abyssal forces. He erases the Ant Queen’s dark consciousness, secures an S-rated Territory War victory, heals surviving defenders with the Core of the Spring of Life, and accepts the Dark Overlord advancement mission to seize an Abyssal Core. 201 202 205

Dark Overlord and Longwind City

Lincon enters the Abyss, defeats the Ant Queen, claims the Abyssal Core, and advances to Dark Overlord. Rather than destroying the Ant Race, he transforms it into a controlled military resource, establishes a second territory around the Abyss Rift, and develops Longwind Fortress into Longwind City. 229 231 232

Hive Legion Expansion

Using Overlord’s Dominion, Lincon organizes Abyssal races into the Hive Legion and equips them with Longwind City’s Dominion Spirit Gear. He uses the Legion to suppress hostile Abyss Rifts, seize resources, gather intelligence within the Abyss Sea, and develop an expeditionary force that feeds experience and Sunlight back to him. 329 378 409

Fall of the Great Wall and Counterattack

Although Lincon and the Hive Legion kill the Flame Demon Warlord at Defense Line Nine, the broader Great Wall campaign collapses under five Epic Lords.

Third Advancement

At Level 60, Lincon rejects a more defensive main-class route in favor of the Ten-Thousand-Sun Dark Grand Duke’s destructive potential. He also chooses Eternal Gardener as the future of his Nature Saint path, reaffirming that Spirit Plant evolution and ecological development remain central to his power and Longwind City’s future. 460
