Background / History
Di Tian lived in the Divine Realm as a junior member of the Dragon Clan. When disaster befell the Dragon God, the clan’s elders sent him to the lower realm. He remembers the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings affectionately as “Uncle Ice” and “Uncle Fire,” and the energy surrounding their remains recalls his childhood among the clan’s elders 8 9.
On Douluo Continent, he became the leader of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Clan and held the title of Beast God. Under the Silver Dragon King’s orders, he and Star Dou Forest’s strongest Ferocious Beasts remained hidden beneath Star Lake, waiting for an opportunity to act against humanity. He resented their enforced inactivity as human soul masters continued hunting soul beasts, but his loyalty prevented him from openly abandoning her 1 2 3.
Appearance
Di Tian can assume both human and dragon forms. His true form is an enormous Golden-Eyed Black Dragon whose body can stretch across the sky and block out sunlight 1 16.
- Length: Approximately one thousand meters in the Heaven Dou City assault 16.
- Eyes: Golden vertical pupils; his eyes turn crimson when Bo Saixi invokes human divine power 22 42.
- Dragon God’s Claw manifestation: Dark-golden scales cover his right arm, and his fingertips lengthen into claws 22.
- Godhood mark: A black-gold mark appears on his forehead after he obtains Godhood 46.
Personality
Di Tian places the survival and restoration of the Soul Beast Clan above his own comfort. His initial conflict between the two Dragon Kings comes from loyalty rather than affection for the Silver Dragon King’s policies. Chu Yuan wins his allegiance by confronting his failure to protect the forest and offering him a chance to correct it 1 3.
His devotion to Chu Yuan is intense and often self-effacing. He initially panics when entrusted with Star Dou Forest, fearing that his lord is abandoning him, but accepts the responsibility after receiving encouragement. Later, even reaching 910,000 years leaves him deeply ashamed when Chu Yuan questions his progress 13 14.
Toward enemies, Di Tian is ruthless, vengeful, and intolerant of perceived betrayal. He takes pleasure in retaliation against human soul masters and treats Xiao Wu’s protection of Tang San as a capital offense. His usual composure breaks down particularly around human gods and the Asura God’s power 12 13 22 41 42.
