Mo Yuan is a prominent and enigmatic character in Tang Qi Gongzi’s “Three Lives Three Worlds” novel series, and the male protagonist of the novel “Three Lives Three Worlds: The Pillow Book.” Born as an ancient deity from a remote era, he possesses not only power and authority but is also intricately involved in complex love-hate relationships among mythological forces.

Character Information

Origins and Background: Mo Yuan is the only surviving son of the God Father and God Mother, whose mother faced danger while “reinforcing” the four pillars supporting the heavens. As the God Lord and inheritor of the Heavenly Clan’s “combat” division, Mo Yuan bears the responsibility of maintaining cosmic order. He is also known as the ancient “God of War Music” and is responsible for nurturing the soul of his younger brother, Ye Hua.

A Journey Through Turmoil: In the fierce battles between the forces of gods, demons, monsters, and humans, Mo Yuan directly faced chaos during the outbreak of the demon clan’s “Demon Rebellion.” In that battle, he bravely sacrificed himself, offering his primordial spirit to consecrate the Eastern Emperor Bell, thereby sealing the enemy and maintaining balance across the realms. However, the cost was the shattering of his soul, leading to Mo Yuan’s “soul scattering.” Fortunately, with the help of Bai Qian and his companions, he gradually restored his soul and returned to the Heavenly Palace.

Appearance and Attire

Youthful Charm: During his time at the Shuizhao Academy, Mo Yuan was likened to a “pure noble son,” like a dreamy orchid, possessing flawless beauty. After seven hundred years of battlefield trials and bloody battles, his initial pristine appearance gradually took on the mark of perseverance and fervor.

Combat Attire: Mo Yuan often appears in his signature attire, including a purple-gold crown, mysterious armor made of Xuan crystal, delicate black battle boots, and the Chun Yuan Sword, which always accompanies him. These garments not only showcase his dignity but also reflect his inner strength.

Personality and Qualities

Personality: Praised by all the heavens for his abilities in emotional matters, Mo Yuan can be considered a person who has reached a state of “no hatred,” not wanting to compete, but if necessary, he could spend seven hundred years ending the chaotic world and unifying the four tribes.

Heart for Protecting Disciples and Deep Emotions: As a master, Mo Yuan always strives to protect and guide his disciples. Once, when Bai Qian (formerly known as “Si Yin”) was kidnapped, he risked his life to raid Yaoguang Palace to rescue her, demonstrating the courage and love of a teacher.

Life and Career

Residence and Missionary Mandate: After his resurrection, Mo Yuan returned to Kunlun Xu, continuing to recruit students and impart Taoist practices, becoming a spiritual reliance for the lesser gods.

Fierce Battles and Sacrifice: In the battles with the demon clan, Mo Yuan had to face powerful enemies like Qing Cang, the leader of the demon clan. Mo Yuan sacrificed his primordial spirit to seal him in the Eastern Emperor Bell, but the consequence was that his “soul scattered.” Therefore, Bai Qian used her heart’s blood to protect his physical body, helping him resurrect thousands of years later.

Resurrection Process: After being broken into fragmented “soul shards,” Mo Yuan received help from Ye Hua—the one whose soul he had nurtured—and gradually recovered his soul shards. This process lasted seven to eight thousand years until Bai Qian used the “Soul-Gathering Lamp” to complete the soul repair, and Ye Hua injected him with divine medicine, eventually helping him resurrect and return to the Heavenly Palace.

Important Relationships

Family and Lineage:

God Father and God Mother: Mo Yuan is the only surviving son, and the soul of his younger brother, Ye Hua, also became strong due to the parents’ careful care.

Love and Hate:

Demon Clan Angel Girl – Shao Wan: They had a tumultuous love and hate affair, reflecting the conflicts between mythological forces.

Teacher-Student Relationship:

Other Disciples: Disciples such as Ling Yu and Zi Lan are always loyal, ready to support their teacher in any situation.

Those Moments That Mark Life

Nurturing His Brother’s Soul: From birth, Mo Yuan assumed the responsibility of nurturing the soul of his younger brother, Ye Hua, whose mother could not keep due to sacrificing the four pillars supporting the sky.

Wars Between Forces: In a series of fierce battles, Mo Yuan not only faced enemies such as Yao Guang or Qing Cang, but also devoted himself to ending the era of great chaos and unifying the four tribes of gods, demons, monsters, and humans.

Sacrifice for Students: He risked his life to raid and rescue the imprisoned Bai Qian, demonstrating his loyalty and sense of responsibility to his disciples as a master.

Resurrection and Return to Heavenly Palace: After a difficult resurrection process lasting thousands of years, Mo Yuan gradually regained his strength, continued to become a spiritual pillar for the lesser gods, and became a symbol of resilience in the mythological world.

Famous Battles

Mo Yuan faced and won in important battles multiple times:

Against Yao Guang: In the battle to protect Bai Qian, Mo Yuan boldly confronted Yao Guang, forcing her to retreat after suffering a crushing defeat.

Against Qing Cang: When Qing Cang appeared to stop the effort to rescue Bai Qian and his disciples, Mo Yuan bravely launched an attack, although he ultimately had to use his primordial spirit to seal the enemy in the Eastern Emperor Bell, leading to “soul scattering.”

Mo Yuan is a symbol of strength, loyalty, and sacrifice in the “Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms” mythological universe. From his glorious years as the God of War in the past, to the arduous resurrection process lasting thousands of years, his journey evokes profound admiration for the desire to survive and maintain cosmic order.
