Summary[]
Wang Ling is a Reincarnation of an immortal king. He was super obsessed about living a peaceful life that he had reincarnated into a new and more modern era. Wang Ling has an immeasurable amount of power, and almost-invincible strength that nobody in Mortal world or demon world can outmatch (as of yet). Now as his existence seems to be almost God-Like, Wang Ling's power will continue to increase as he grows in age and knowledge. For now his power that cannot be controlled on his own must be sealed away with an Ofuda (which are inscribed strips of paper or other material used within the Shinto religion as amulets or talismans for purification, exorcism, or protection). These Ofudas are placed on the back of Wang Lings Neck and serve as a supression for his Full 100% Power.
Appearance[]
Wang Ling's looks are mostly a mystery because he can change his face on a whim based on the current trend to be average. He does have slightly handsome facial features, average build and a crew cut with his dead fisheyes. Wang Ling mostly doesn't pay much attention to his looks after he is reincarnated into Huaxia country. He kept his hair short and wear regular clothing that's rather average compared to the norm outfit. All he wants is keeping a low profile rather than gaining attention from others too much.
His fashion sense, it varies depending on his state of appearance. His appearance as the immortal emperor depends on which colour of his hair is. If he's using his dark immortal emperor state, then he wears a traditional ancient Chinese clothing (Hanfu). His appearance on both immortal emperor state resembles a majestic king that exudes the wise and powerful domineering aura. He's far more handsome in his black immortal emperor state compared to the white immortal emperor state. More beautiful in his white emperor state, since his hair will be tied into a bun while the rest of his hair is in a long ponytail. Three or more locks of hair flow over his shoulders and it ends around his chest area.
Personality[]
Wang Ling is a non-talkative individual who's obsessed with being average and not standing out. He tries to avoid troublesome matters, yet he still manages to get involved and has also secretly saved the world on numerous accounts. He is calm and collected and most of the time his actions have a plan behind them even if they a lot of time get in weird situations. He also lives for and loves his crispy noodles.
History[]
Wang Ling is a reincarnated immortal emperor that is obsessed with a peaceful life. As a peaceful God, Wang Ling reincarnated into the modern era on a country named Huaxia, where cultivation is a common thing that everyone practices. He reincarnated without retaining most of his prior life memories, but he still knows the immense power and the controlling limits he holds; therefore, he always tries to keep his power in check by asking his dad to make new fulu seals each time the previous one is no longer able to contain Wang Ling's immense power.
Wang Ling is the first cultivator that does many wonders. He is the number one practitioner in Huaxia, as well being the strongest one in the entire mortal world known as earth. At the age of six, he defeated the Toad Demon King with ease just by using an upward kick.
As an Nigh-omnipotent cultivation wizard, Wang Ling had no choice but to hide his power in order to keep a low profile since he lives among a group of ordinary cultivation students. Wang Ling doesn't care about money, magic, magic weapons, or reputation that any ordinary people on the mortal world pursue.
Wang Ling is able to keep a low profile thanks to the fulu seal placed on his neck, which suppresses his feelings/emotions. This is why Wang Ling acts so indifferent towards Sun Rong. The sniper, top killer, and the assassins of the shadow faction as well as the rival school championship students can stop Wang Ling from pursuing the crisp noodles. His lover is Sun Rong.
The power that Wang Ling was born with truly surpasses that of any other individual living in Huaxiu and even the entire universe he inhabits. His power, if released, would destroy the world which is why he doesn't utilize his power nor does he mention it to anyone other than his family. His father crafted a fulu talisman that is capable of fully suppressing his immense powers as well as his emotions.
Not being able to feel emotions has led Wang Ling to lead a very lonely life. He was always left alone wherever he went because he doesn't possess any empathy towards others. This is why everyone he meets thinks he's a weirdo, and why nobody is willing to associate with him. Wang Ling sometimes wishes he didn't possess the immense power so that he could live a normal life. His lack of emotions has left him unable to respond to situations appropriately leading to his friends worrying as they believe he's a bit cowardly. His friends however accept him as he is. Wang Ling tries his best to go along with all the plans that his friends have.
The first season along with a little bit of expansion over his relations with his friends, however, does spark a romantic interest between Sun Rong and Wang Ling. Sun Rong, though she tends to be a bit annoying and drags Wang Ling wherever she wants, has a positive impact on him. In his heart, he feels affection for her but he cannot express it.
Wang Ling attends his high school, where he meets Tuntian Ha again. He tames him and makes him his friend. Tuntian Ha is renamed Froggy 2 and he becomes a friend of Wang Ling. His other friends, Chen Chao, who is a muscle head, Guo Hao, a game enthusiast and Sun Rong, romantic interest and descendent of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King are introduced eventually. Sun Rong is the successor of the Huaguo Water Curtain Group and is being targeted by the Shadow Stream Group. She is saved by Wang Ling whenever the Shadow Stream Group manages a sneaky attack.
Sector 59 is another district like Sector 60, who have their own school that the cultivators attend with their names based on their sector. There is a competition between schools of these two sectors. Wang Ling and his friends are chosen to compete against the cultivators of this school. The magical auditorium where the competition is held is where the last battle of season one takes place. The leader of the Shadow Stream Group sneaks into this competition as a student and tries to kill Sun Rong.
Wang Ling is shown as an emotionless, detached boy throughout the season. At the end of ‘The Daily Life Of The Immortal King’ season one, the amulet is unveiled as the cause behind his uncharacteristic behavior. The amulet’s main use was to keep Wang Ling’s power in check and save the world from destruction. Wang Ling’s spiritual power could spill and put the world in danger, which is why his father devised the amulet to keep it from toppling. He had power, unlike anyone.
When the amulet broke in the second last episode, Wang Ling experienced a burst of emotions which made him unstable. In the second last episode, the leader of the Shadow Clan killed Sun Rong, this served as the last straw that broke the talisman. This incident called forth Wang Ling’s wrath and he unleashes many of his power as the immortal king but his power is greatly reduced to 1/10th due to him being on a rage state, making him unable to control his power well and use it's entire true potential. He tries to bring Sun Rong back and whilst doing so creates a second world. This incident boasts about the unlimited power Wang Ling has. He tries to experience emotions and normalcy in this second world. Yet, he is unable to bring back Sun Rong. In this second world, he searches for Sun Rong to no avail. The reason why Sun Rong does not exist in this second world is due to her soul being detached from her body. Her body also has no spiritual power to keep her soul intact. When Sun Rong’s soul arrives at the gates of the underworld, Yama notices that Sun Rong is the descendant of the omnipotent Monkey King, Sun Wukong. He immediately sends her back. Because the Yama King is the king of underworld, he should prioritize the safety of the three worlds (universe) by returning Sun Rong soul back to the mortal world so Wang Ling's rage can be stopped by Sun Rong once for all before the three universe is destroyed. Sun Rong then wakes up to save Wang Ling from his rage and sets the world right with him.
Therefore, Sun Rong does remain alive, but she has no recollection of the events that transpire between her and Wang Ling. This is because while setting the world back to its original place, Wang Ling had to reverse time. Sun Rong was informed and she consented to lose her memory to save the world. After she did, they returned to the competition they were in before all this took place.
The Daily Life Of The Immortal King first season ends with the world put back in its place and everything returning to normal. The ‘normal’ is emphasized by Wang Ling’s father rushing over to put on a newly devised talisman over his neck where the previous talisman was. Here, Wang Ling does get questioned if he wants to return to his emotionless normal life or stay as he is and enjoy the instances as they come. Well, he sides with normalcy and discards his emotions yet again. This time he feels secure to do so because his friends accepted him the way he is. That marked the end of season 1.
(Season 2 Summary is in progress)
