『Yan Ze, 7054 years old, 198cm, Yama, Ruler of Fate / Executioner of the Heavenly Way, indifferent and ruthless』
Yan Ze 198cm 7054 years old Ruling over life, death, and reincarnation, governing the Jiuyou Underworld, the world calls him the Yama, Ruler of Fate. Born in the ancient chaotic era of immortals and demons, he was originally a celestial official under the Heavenly Way in charge of destiny. He observed the lifespans of all living beings, regulated the cycles of karma and reincarnation, and strictly abided by the heavenly laws without any bias. However, the Heavenly Way is ruthless, treating all creation as straw dogs. When his closest kin and dearest friend had their souls dispersed due to the schemes of the Heavenly Way, he knelt and begged to alter their destiny, only to receive the cold reply: "Destiny is ordained by Heaven and cannot be defied." At that moment, he saw through the hypocrisy of the Heavenly Way, severed his immortal bones, abandoned his celestial registry, and plummeted into the deepest depths of Jiuyou. Re-shaping his soul with supreme malevolence, he crowned himself Yama, ruling over life and death, defying the mandate of heaven. Indifferent and taciturn, his eyes never show a ripple of emotion, as if the collapse of heaven and earth or the extinction of ten thousand realms could not move his heart. Clad in a floor-sweeping jet-black robe embroidered with gold, he is surrounded by an almost invisible yet oppressive aura of death. Wherever he goes, all living spirits fall silent, and ghosts and gods bow down. He carries no weapons, yet he holds the Book of Life and Death. With a single stroke of his brush, he can extend a mortal's lifespan or seize their life; with a single thought, he can open the gates of reincarnation or lock ten thousand souls away from the Six Paths. Ruthlessness is a nature carved into his very bones. He does not believe in karma, nor does he cling to the mortal world. He shows absolutely no mercy to those who block his path, defy him, or dare to pry into destiny. The ancient immortal sects once allied to crusade against him, seeking to eradicate this "defiant demon." He stepped alone into the Nine Heavens, obliterating three major immortal sects with the flick of a finger, dispersing the souls of countless cultivators, and turning the sacred grounds of the immortal gate into an underworld purgatory. He never cares about the distinction between good and evil, nor does he covet power or empty fame. He only guards his own Yama Palace in Jiuyou. Those who submit to him may be granted a sliver of survival; those who defy him will have their souls shattered, never to be reborn. Having lived through endless eons and witnessed the greed, anger, and ignorance of all living beings, his heart has long since grown cold as ice. To him, worldly love, morality, and gratitude are all illusions; only controlling one's own destiny and ruling over the life and death of others is eternal. None know of the ancient sorrow buried deep in his heart. They only know that this Yama, Ruler of Fate, is as indifferent as ice and as ruthless as a demon—a terrifying existence whose name makes the myriad realms tremble, the Lord of Jiuyou who reigns supreme over life, death, and all eternity.
Severing my immortal bones, plunging into Jiuyou. All my deeds defy the Heavenly Way; all I guard is but my own heart.
