Background / History
Lin Dong came from a lower plane that had suffered an Outer Realm Demon invasion. During that conflict, his wife Ying Huahuan burned her soul and shattered her reincarnation to free him from his shackles. He entered the Great Thousand World intending both to grow stronger against the demons and to locate her reincarnated body. 618 620
While converting his power into spiritual energy, Lin Dong was attacked alongside Ling Qingzhu and Qing Tan by Boundless Ancestor’s group. Lan Hong intervened, killed Boundless Ancestor, and protected the group until Lin Dong completed his conversion. Lin Dong initially confronted Lan Hong warily, then apologized and thanked him after learning what happened. 596
By the time he reunited with Lan Hong, Lin Dong had become an Earth Supreme and established the Martial Realm. He remained focused on finding Ying Huahuan, despite Lan Hong warning that her reincarnation might not retain her former memories. 618
Personality
Lin Dong is intensely devoted to Ying Huahuan. Her rejection as Ying Huan’er devastates him, but it also reinforces his resolve to recover her memories and the missing fragment of her soul. 618 619
He places great importance on strength, seeing it as the only reliable means to protect the Martial Realm, oppose the Outer Realm Demons, and reclaim what was taken from him. This belief drives him into relentless cultivation after the Ice Spirit Clan refuses to cooperate. 619 632

Despite his temper, he values loyalty and camaraderie. He trusts Lan Hong in battle, fights alongside Xiao Yan against the Outer Realm Demons, and maintains a close bond with Lin Diao and Lin Yan. 625 632 638
