Background / History
Early Life and Captivity
Tian Meng was born in the Frozen Forest. His accidental discovery of a cavern full of Mystic Ice essence allowed him to accumulate extraordinary cultivation without facing the tribulations normally associated with powerful Soul Beasts. After leaving the Extreme North, he traveled across much of the continent using Simulation to deter predators 25 26.
His travels ended in captivity in the Star Dou Great Forest. Its beasts drained his power for nearly ten thousand years, leaving him with only his Origin by the time he met Huo Yuhao. He remained deeply resentful of his captors 10 23 26.
Sacrifice to Huo Yuhao
Tian Meng emerged near the boundary between the forest’s Outer and Mixed Zones, where Huo Yuhao was seeking his first Spirit Ring. He chose Yuhao because they were both spiritual-type, felt an unusual compatibility with him, and believed their meeting was destined. Roars from deeper in the forest prompted him to begin transferring his Origin before finishing his explanation 9.
After entering Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness, Tian Meng disturbed Jiang Ziya’s rest and was restrained with golden chains. Jiang later used one of his ten Origin clusters to shape Yuhao’s blank Martial Soul into Four-Not-Like. Tian Meng initially protested because he had reserved the blank Martial Soul for the Ice Empress, but enthusiastically accepted the change once he learned that Four-Not-Like was an Auspicious Beast 10 11.
The God-Making Plan
Tian Meng’s plan was to help a promising human become a god, allowing the Soul Beasts serving as that human’s conscious Spirit Rings to ascend alongside him. He selected Huo Yuhao as the plan’s central figure and brought him to the Extreme North to recruit the Ice Empress 20 21.
Using his Silkworm Molt, Tian Meng imprisoned the Ice Empress long enough to present his proposal. Her doubts eased after Yuhao demonstrated his Auspicious Beast Martial Soul and Tian Meng introduced Jiang Ziya. Tian Meng then recruited the Snow Empress by offering her both a chance to remain with the Ice Empress and a possible escape from her approaching tribulation 21 22 23.
Tian Meng directed the Ice Empress’s sacrifice, guiding her power into Yuhao and helping him endure the Spirit Ring and torso-bone fusion. During the subsequent search for Yuhao’s second Spirit Eyes ring, he abandoned his original Ice Silkworm target in favor of a rare Mirror Shadow Beast. Although initially disappointed that its ring did not grant copying, he approved of Spiritual Clone’s potential to confuse enemies 23 24 26 27.
Continuing Companionship
When Huo Yun’er died, Tian Meng could not save her; his spiritual powers lacked the means to restore her life. After Jiang Ziya and Electrolux exhausted themselves protecting her soul, Tian Meng remained among Yuhao’s companions throughout their three-year recovery. At Shrek Academy, he also helped assess the formidable spiritual power of the elder Yuhao encountered 34 41.
Appearance
- Original Soul Beast form: A huge, ten-ringed Ice Silkworm measuring more than ten meters long 9 10.
- After sacrifice: Initially appears in Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness as a silkworm just over one meter long, with small arms and beady eyes 10.
- Human form: A blond boy wearing silkworm-patterned pajamas; can project a golden human-shaped figure outside Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness 20 21.
- Expressive coloring: His silkworm body turns red “like a boiled shrimp” when furious over Jiang Ziya’s use of his Origin 11.
Personality
Tian Meng is boastful, talkative, and easily carried away. He insists on being called “Brother Sky Dream,” celebrates his own exceptional fortune, and delights in teasing Yuhao—including laughing at the antlers left by Four-Not-Like’s awakening. His bluster quickly gives way to deference when Jiang Ziya reminds him of their difference in power 10 11 12.
He nevertheless takes dangerous fusion procedures seriously. Before the Ice Empress’s sacrifice, he carefully explains the risks, instructs both participants, and prepares to divert power to help Yuhao if the boy loses consciousness. His praise after Yuhao defeats the Mirror Shadow Beast shows genuine confidence in his chosen partner 23 24 27.
His attachment to the Ice Empress combines persistent affection with coercion. He repeatedly calls her “Bingbing” despite her objections, restrains her to force a conversation, and admits that he would erase her consciousness if persuasion failed. After she joins Yuhao, he even welcomes being thrown out of the Sea of Consciousness as a nostalgic reminder of their old interactions 20 21 25.
Abilities & Skills
Origin Transfer and Spirit Ring Sacrifice
Tian Meng can transfer his accumulated Origin into a human while retaining his own consciousness as a Spirit Ring 9 21.
- Grants Huo Yuhao a Million-Year Spirit Ring, a blank Second Martial Soul, and an Ice Attribute 9 22.
- Divides his Origin into ten sealed clusters, each holding energy comparable to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast 10 11.
- One cluster is consumed by Jiang Ziya to create Four-Not-Like, leaving nine 10 11.
- The ring’s usable strength depends on Yuhao’s physical capacity to absorb the sealed energy; it initially operates at thousand-year strength 12.
Spiritual Power
His spiritual power supports perception, communication, and concealment 21 26 41.
- Projects his voice far into the Extreme North to summon the Ice Empress 21.
- Detects the immense spiritual reserves within Shrek’s elderly observer when Yuhao cannot properly sense them 41.
- Explains that Ice Silkworm spiritual power can hide their presence from ordinary Soul Beasts’ senses 26.
- Cannot use spiritual power to save Huo Yun’er as her life slips away 34.
Simulation
Simulation expends spiritual power to imitate the aura and pressure of other Soul Beasts, discouraging predators without direct combat 26.
- Enabled Tian Meng to travel across almost the entire continent 26.
- Once imitated a 900,000-year Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion before the Ice Empress 26.
- The Ice Empress recognized that imitation as absurdly exaggerated; she states that it might have fooled her had she not led the Ice Jade Scorpions herself 26.
Wisdom Spirit Ring Fusion
Tian Meng can guide another Soul Beast’s sacrifice so that it retains its mind as a Wisdom Spirit Ring 23.
- Creates a golden, rune-covered circle extending two meters in every direction for the Ice Empress’s fusion 23.
- Directs her aggressive Ultimate Ice power into Yuhao and assists in repairing his body during absorption 24.
- Warns that mistakes could prevent her from successfully becoming a Wisdom Spirit Ring 23.
- Keeps power available to assist Yuhao if he loses consciousness, while urging him to remain awake for the best result 24.
Equipment / Items
- Silkworm Molt — A shed skin as thin as a cicada’s wing, containing part of Tian Meng’s million-year power. Expands into a golden cage that the Ice Empress cannot break with her pincers; Tian Meng estimates it can hold her for days 20 21.
- Conjured glasses — Creates glasses with Soul Power after learning about the human invention, claiming they make him look scholarly 26.

- Jiang Ziya — Powerful teammate whom Tian Meng alternately challenges, fears, and flatters. Jiang repeatedly silences his outbursts, but Tian Meng admires his creation of an Auspicious Beast Martial Soul 10 11 20.
- Ice Empress — Former predator and object of his persistent romantic attachment. He recruits her through restraint and persuasion, then guides her sacrifice to Yuhao 20 21 23 24.
- Snow Empress — Fellow Extreme North Soul Beast recruited into the God-Making Team. Tian Meng presents Yuhao’s auspicious influence and a possible future Wisdom Spirit Ring sacrifice as alternatives to facing her tribulation alone 23.
- Electrolux — Fellow resident of Yuhao’s Sea of Consciousness. Before learning his identity, Tian Meng suggests destroying his mysterious gray orb; Jiang Ziya refuses 10 34.
- Xu Jiujiu — Recognizes her apparent affection for Yuhao and jokes that he may someday become a prince consort 17.
