Background / History

Liu Yu remembers losing consciousness while exercising on a treadmill in his previous life. He awakens as an infant in Queen Medusa’s palace after she discovers him inside a mysterious sphere beneath the Tagor Desert. The sphere had consumed the Green Lotus and its Core Flame; the flame remains within his body without harming him 1.

Medusa raises him in the Snake-People palace and names him Little Silver. With Hua She’er’s help, he learns to read at one year old and restores the name Liu Yu, although the tribe continues using his nickname. His Achievement System activates at age two 1.

Despite hostility between humans and Snake-People, Liu Yu regards the tribe as his family. Medusa gives him access to cultivation techniques, alchemical supplies, and the treasury. His increasingly productive alchemy wins over tribespeople who initially objected to his human identity, establishing him as the Snake-People Chief Alchemist 1 2.

Appearance

• Hair: Pure silver, the basis of Medusa’s nickname “Little Silver”; distinguished from Han Yue’s gray-leaning silver hair 1 31.
• Eyes: Bright red, repeatedly compared to gemstones; later descriptions emphasize their striking, almost bewitching appearance 1 23.
• Build: Tall and slender. At ten, he looks approximately fifteen or sixteen; Han Yue later estimates his appearance at seventeen or eighteen 3 4 32.
• Facial features: Sword-like brows, a straight nose, pale complexion, and pink or red lips 2 23.
• Clothing: Wears finely made robes and brocade outfits, including pale-purple robes, a white robe, and close-fitting red brocade 4 23 32.
• Combat appearance: Can manifest six enormous blood-red wings; during major battles, flaming divine wheels accompany him 32 42.

Personality

Liu Yu is irreverent, self-assured, and habitually teasing. His private commentary draws on modern expressions and game comparisons, while his familiarity with Medusa and the tribe’s leaders makes him comfortable around powerful figures. He enjoys displaying his accomplishments, even when he jokes that he has been unwillingly burdened with prestige or authority 2 10 14 41.

His attachment to the Snake-People Tribe is genuine. He challenges Medusa over the danger of her Heavenly Flame transformation, later oversees it personally, and uses his pills and political connections to secure the tribe’s future. His generosity also extends to companions and useful allies, including Zi Yan, Xiao Yan, and the Mittel Family 2 3 13 23 27 35.

He balances ambition with practical caution. He retreats when his first battle with the Lion King exhausts his reserves, avoids provoking the Fallen Heart Flame into a destructive last stand, and postpones an Eastern Continent expedition when travel and return routes remain unsafe 6 37 40.

His protective behavior coexists with coercion and ruthlessness. He secretly alters Jia Xingtian’s Sect Breaking Pill to retain leverage, imposes Soul Seals on faction leaders, and uses lethal force against opponents who refuse submission. His account of persuading Yun Yun to accept his engagement to Medusa likewise describes controlling behavior rather than an entirely voluntary negotiation 17 21 24 29 30.

Abilities & Skills

Achievement System

• Awards techniques, knowledge, equipment, and physical improvements for completed achievements 1 5 16 25.
• Early rewards include the Myriad Forms Divine Art, Thousand Illusion Body, a physical enhancement, and extensive alchemical knowledge 1.
• The Alchemy Master achievement grants the Profound Heaven Soul Art, although he initially lacks the soul realm needed to practice it 10.
• The cave theft earns an achievement translated as “Light-Fingered” or “Empty-Handed Thief,” rewarding the Origin-Nurturing Art 5 10.
• Little Star rewards the Thousand-Mechanism Fan during his Alchemist Guild celebration 16.
• Other recorded achievement titles include Little Devil, Restless Little Hands, Spoiled Brat, First Steps, and Shamelessness 15.

Cultivation Arts and Source Power

• Myriad Forms Divine Art: Accommodates multiple cultivation arts within one body. It establishes a master–subordinate relationship with the Divine Flame Art, allowing automatic circulation and continuous cultivation 4 6.
• Divine Flame Art: A middle Earth-tier art requiring a beast flame or Heavenly Flame. Its Dou Qi inflicts persistent burning effects that wear down an opponent even when direct attacks cannot penetrate their defenses 2 6.
• Origin-Nurturing Art: Converts natural energy into power that repairs and strengthens one’s essence. Accumulated energy can condense into source power, used for cultivation, soul advancement, and nurturing flames 5 13 24 27 30.
• Flame Mantra: Obtained from Yao Lao; evolves through Heavenly Flames. Liu Yu develops it to middle Earth tier, close to high grade 27 30.
• Limitation: His Dou Qi reserves are dozens of times greater than those of ordinary cultivators at the same level. This supports higher-realm combat but greatly increases the energy needed for breakthroughs 6 13 41.

Heavenly Flames

Flame	Development and use
Green Lotus Core Flame	Present within him from infancy; used for alchemy, combat, Medusa’s transformation, and Brand Poison treatment. As his companion flame, it costs less Dou Qi to activate than an ordinary Heavenly Flame 1 3 16 22.
Green Lotus Profound Blue Flame	The original flame transforms after receiving ten strands of source power. Yao Lao judges its power comparable to his Bone Spirit Cold Flame 27.
Green Lotus Core Flame given to Xiao Yan	Liu Yu possesses this weaker green flame separately from the transformed flame and gives it to Xiao Yan after receiving the Flame Mantra 27.
Bone Spirit Cold Flame	Receives origin fragments from Yao Lao, including one for himself. He nurtures his flame with source power before fusion 27 30.
Profound Lotus Ice Flame	Formed by fusing the Green Lotus Profound Blue Flame and Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Combines extreme cold with flame power; also rendered “Mystic Lotus Ice Flame” in some passages 30 31 33.
Fallen Heart Flame essence	Extracted by overpowering its Fire Python form without destroying the flame. He later nurtures the acquired flame with source power 37 48.
Sea Heart Flame	Suppressed after Han Feng’s death and subsequently subdued 45 46 48.

• Can house multiple Heavenly Flames even before obtaining the Flame Mantra 27.
• Gives allies child flames or wisps for assistance and protection. Eagle Mountain Old Man’s child flame can produce a Peak Dou Zong-level strike if detonated 23 48.
• Uses flames for ordinary tasks as well as combat, including grilling food and heating bathing water 23.

Alchemy and Treatment

• Possesses system-provided knowledge encompassing pill formulas from the first through ninth grades, including formulas no longer commonly circulated 10 47.
• Produces top-quality pills at high speed; his work supplies the Snake-People Holy City and its eight tribes 2.

• Successfully handles seventh-grade pill lightning and prevents a newly formed Transformation Pill from escaping 21 22.
• Cures Nalan Jie’s Brand Poison with the Green Lotus Core Flame 16.

Dou Techniques

Technique	Grade / documented mastery	Applications
Mountain-Splitting Finger	Middle Black/Profound tier; major mastery in later panels	Condenses a gigantic energy finger. His reinforced body and Heavenly Flame also allow direct finger strikes 6 32 40.
Ethereal Step	Middle Black/Profound tier; major mastery in later panels	A movement technique selected for him by Medusa 2 40.
Flame Spear	High Black/Profound tier; major mastery in later panels	Creates fire spears of varying sizes for close combat or large-scale ranged attacks 2 40.
Heaven-Burning Palm	Low Earth tier; minor mastery	Forms a giant flaming palm; can be enhanced with Heavenly Flame and used against pill lightning 10 21 40.
Ten Thousand Serpent Calamity	Low Earth tier; minor mastery	Summons attacking serpents. Its burning red snakes overwhelm the Lion King’s Amethyst Seal and force him to concede 10 20 21 40.
Wind-Evolving Spirit-Slaying Finger	Low Earth tier; minor mastery	Usable by any elemental affinity, but especially effective with wind Dou Qi. Liu Yu considers Heavenly Flame enhancement a way to raise its power 29 40.
Twelve Divine Wheels	Grade not stated	Amplifies his combat strength with flame-based wheels; he manifests two blazing wheels after reaching Dou Zong 21 42.

Soul Arts

• Profound Heaven Soul Art: Requires at least a Spirit Realm soul. Absorbs spiritual energy and supplies offensive and defensive methods 10 24.
• Spirit Devouring: Consumes others’ souls to strengthen his own and particularly suppresses soul-bodied Hall of Souls protectors. He uses it to kill Protector Wu 24 26.
• Soul Pressure: Overwhelms other cultivators’ souls and can immobilize targets, including Xiao Yan and Yuan Yi 26 29.
• Soul Seals: Bind subordinates to him while offering protection against soul attacks. Used on Yuan Yi, Su Mei, and other followers 29 30 48.

Concealment, Flight, and Spatial Movement

• Thousand Illusion Body: Conceals his presence by nearly merging him with space. At minor mastery, it evades the four Peak Dou Emperor Snake-People elders; later, even a Dou Zong cannot notice him unless he exposes himself 4 31.
• Illusory bodies: Uses a phantom to maintain the Thunderclap Blood Domain while pursuing another target. Mo Tianxing mistakes the phantom for Liu Yu and attacks it 43 45.
• Dou Qi Wings: First manifests blood-red flight wings after reaching Dou Wang 6.
• Blood Thunder Sky Wings: Grant high-speed movement, spatial jumps, and blood lightning scaled to his strength. Jump distance depends on cultivation 25.
• Limitations: At Seven-Star Dou Emperor, spatial jumps consume enough Dou Qi to limit him to roughly a dozen to twenty-odd uses. He considers them unreliable against Dou Zun-level spatial mastery 31 40.

Thunderclap Blood Domain

• Generated through the Blood Thunder Sky Wings while gathering blood lightning 43.
• Envelops a mountain range and Black Seal City, disrupting Dou Qi and trapping rival factions behind a blood-colored barrier 43.
• Releases lethal blood lightning and can be sustained by an illusory body while Liu Yu acts elsewhere 43 45.
• Its oppressive effects cause panic, violence, and mass flight among the city’s inhabitants 43.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Medusa’s Transformation and Departure

Liu Yu initially opposes Medusa’s dangerous Heavenly Flame breakthrough, then prepares pills and controls the ritual. He blocks most of the incoming lightning while allowing the portion needed for her transformation to reach her. Afterward, the elders leave her Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python form in his care 2 3 4.

He departs under Medusa’s requirement that he reach Dou Emperor and at least sixth-rank alchemy before returning. His first stops include the Xiao Clan, where he secretly confirms the original story’s timeline, and the Mittel Auction House, where he arranges ingredient purchases 4 5.

Mountain Training and Yun Yun’s Rescue

After stealing companion amethyst source, Liu Yu reaches Dou Wang and repeatedly fights the Lion King to consolidate his cultivation. Their hostility develops into mutual respect and negotiations over the beast becoming his mount 5 6 7.

He rescues Yun Yun in the Tagor Desert, treats her wounds, and obtains ingredients for removing her seal. Their three-month journey to the imperial capital deepens their attachment 7 8 10 11.

Imperial Recognition and the Snake-People Relocation

His sixth-grade alchemy earns the Mittel Family’s allegiance and two prestigious elder appointments. He cures Nalan Jie, restores Yun Yun’s cultivation, and supports the Nalan Family’s apology to the Xiao Clan 12 13 14 16 18 20.

After achieving seventh-grade alchemy, he strengthens the Snake-People leaders with pills and accepts the elders’ engagement proposal. He secures Jia Xingtian’s approval for an alliance and relocation, mobilizing merchant, guild, imperial, and magical-beast resources. The tribe establishes Holy Feather City and eight surrounding cities in the Magical Beast Mountain Range 22 23 24.

Feather Pavilion and Jia Nan Academy

Liu Yu frees the Misty Cloud Sect from Protector Wu’s immediate threat, obtains the Flame Mantra, and enters the Black-Corner Region with Yun Yun. By subduing established factions, he creates Feather Pavilion, while Yun Yun manages its expansion 26 27 29 30 31.

Seeking another Heavenly Flame, he infiltrates Jia Nan Academy, rescues Han Yue, and befriends Zi Yan. He ultimately extracts Fallen Heart Flame essence without destroying the academy’s flame, then leaves with Zi Yan under Su Qian’s care 31 32 35 37.

Dou Zong Breakthrough and Regional Conquest

His breakthrough outside Black Seal City draws the region’s major powers. Upon emerging as a Dou Zong, he attacks the gathered rivals, wounds Earth Demon Old Ghost, and coordinates Feather Pavilion’s assault on Han Feng’s allies 41 42.

Using the Thunderclap Blood Domain, illusions, tracking marks, and soul attacks, he kills Earth Demon Old Ghost, Mo Tianxing, and Han Feng, then captures Protector Xuan. Over the following year, Feather Pavilion absorbs its defeated rivals and becomes the region’s dominant power. It deliberately preserves local disorder because that disorder sustains profitable trade 43 45 46.

Expansion and the Three-Empires War

Liu Yu authorizes Eagle Mountain Old Man to pursue Northern Continent expansion and equips him with a child flame and Soul-Slaying Needles. When the Jia Ma Empire faces an invasion by three neighboring empires, Liu Yu returns with Yun Yun and Zi Yan 48 49.

He suspects Hall of Souls involvement and confronts the Poison Sect’s leader, recognizing Xiao Yi Xian. Their prior acquaintance does not prevent him from demanding submission; the documented encounter ends with both sides preparing for battle 49 50.

Notable Quotes

Trivia

• Apparent strength is not always cultivation rank: He displays a Peak Dou Emperor aura at the guild celebration, but later explicitly identifies himself as Four-Star Dou Wang. The aura display is therefore not a documented Dou Emperor breakthrough 17 20.
• Ancient-clan ancestry is unconfirmed: Yao Lao speculates that Liu Yu belongs to a vanished ancient race after hearing his explanation of his constitution. The Snake-People elders likewise speculate about his origins, but his panels consistently identify him as human 25 27 40.
• Mastery labels vary: Chapter 10 lists his three Black-tier techniques at “full mastery,” while later panels use “major mastery”; later translations also call Black tier “Profound tier” 10 15 24 40.
• His nickname disappears from the panel: At fourteen, Liu Yu notices that “Little Silver” has finally been removed from the system’s name entry 40.
• Barbecuing is a stated hobby: He keeps grilling tools and seasonings in his storage ring and takes opportunities to sample magical-beast meat 10 21.
