Background / History

Di Tian guards the Silver Dragon King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion while leading the Star Dou Great Forest. He places the clan’s restoration above life among humans and believes that protecting both his sovereign and the Auspicious Beast will secure the Soul Beasts’ future 6 11 50.

Future Revealed by the Sky Curtain

During Tang San’s rise to godhood, Di Tian largely remains hidden to protect the Silver Dragon King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. The Scarlet King and Xiong Jun criticize this restraint, arguing that he should have stopped Tang San before his ascension 51.

Ten thousand years later, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion enters human society as Wang Qiu’er and sacrifices herself to save Huo Yuhao, transferring the forest’s fortune to him. Di Tian retaliates with a beast tide against Shrek Academy and demands Huo Yuhao’s surrender. After Huo Yuhao temporarily holds back the attack through the Undead Plane, he proposes the Soul Spirit System and agrees to continue its research in the forest. Di Tian sees the fallen Soul Beasts and ends the assault 51.

Huo Yuhao eventually reaches strength comparable to Di Tian’s at the final step before godhood. His combined Guanyin Tear and Ghost-Carved Divine Blade pierce Di Tian’s scales and grievously wound him. The forest’s Power of Destiny returns after Huo Yuhao inherits the God of Emotion position 52.

By twenty thousand years into the future, most of the Star Dou Great Forest has been destroyed. Its surviving core is surrounded by Spirit Pagoda fortresses and reduced to a Soul Beast enclosure. Di Tian compromises before humanity’s Battle Armor while continuing to protect the Silver Dragon King. After her awakening, he helps her absorb the Dragon God’s soul and power in Dragon Valley, but her attachment to Tang Wulin repeatedly frustrates the restoration effort. His attempts to have Tang Wulin assassinated fail, and Gu Yuena ultimately chooses death on Wulin’s spear to secure peace 52.

Thirty thousand years into the future, the Human Alliance pressures Di Tian into attempting ascension on energy-poor Elf Star rather than the energy-rich homeworld, reducing his chances of success. He fails the tribulation, and his remnant soul becomes Lan Xuanyu’s guardian and servant. Lan Xuanyu uses his dragon body to construct the ecological warship Di Tian. Regarding Xuanyu’s Dragon God bloodline as the clan’s remaining hope, Di Tian later sacrifices his accumulated power to withstand one bolt of Xuanyu’s cosmic tribulation. His Divine Sense shatters, ending his life 52.

Appearance

• Human form: A tall, imposing man whose sharp build and commanding presence remain conspicuous even in loose clothing 46 53.
• Dragon form: Identified as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King; his future dragon body becomes the foundation of the Di Tian warship 50 52.
• Usual clothing: Wears black before Phainon and the Stellaron Sprite encourage him to change his look 52.
• Disguise: Arrives at Phainon’s shop wearing a mask, then removes it to explain his peaceful intentions 46.
• Later outfit: Adopts a yellow top and purple lower garments designed by Phainon 53.

Personality

Di Tian is proud, quick to anger at threats to the Soul Beasts, and deeply committed to restoring his clan. He condemns Soul Beasts who abandon the forest for human relationships and initially treats the Silver Dragon King’s decisions as expressions of wisdom beyond his understanding. Her revealed decision to die for Tang Wulin causes him to question her judgment for the first time 6 20 21.

His aggression is tempered by responsibility. Bi Ji defends his decision to halt the beast tide as concern for the clan rather than weakness, and he offers to take his injured sovereign’s place in the challenge against Lygus. He also adapts when brute strength proves inadequate: despite resenting the humiliating name of his construction-technique reward, he recognizes its value and embraces technological development 37 52 53.
