Background / History
During an earlier upheaval across the heavens, the Su Family faced a powerful enemy. Su Qi sealed his infant son, Su Linxian, inside primordial divine source to protect him, but an accident sent the source drifting into the void. Su Qi could not divine his son’s location. Over the following ten thousand years, the family searched across Dao Domains, slaughtering through territories and destroying great clans without finding him 5 12.
Su Linxian grew up without access to the family’s resources or protection. After his system granted him peak Emperor cultivation and unrivaled backing, it revealed his lineage. A Divine Emperor-level Bloodline Tracing ability subsequently reconnected him with the family: the Grand Void Mirror detected his bloodline, prompting Shenyue Su to order his retrieval from the Ziwei Domain 1 2 5.

Divine Emperor Backing
- Su Qi’s power: A small release of his Divine Emperor aura shakes the ancestral grounds, stills streams, and makes mountains bow 12.
