One of the strongest and most infamous rulers of Shilon’s legacy; Ren Loong Shen, Demigod of the Dragon, has had tales told of him thousands of years before his birth. Stories told that the Dragon Zodiac can snuff out armies with his sword, and turn mountains to ashes. Ren, growing up, being the lovechild of Emperor Malong with his high expectations for the kingdom, received more attention from the emperor than his two siblings; Lao and  Fubai Shenhai. Once being crowned emperor, he fulfilled his expectations with great pride. He forced all outsiders to respect him and his nation, becoming one of the greatest emperors to ever live. He even found himself discovering the love of his life, which then led to a line of successors. Nothing could have been better for the Demigod of the Dragon.
​
But just like all great rulers, Ren approaches his greatest challenge yet. Yamamura; an overwhelming threat has shown itself upon the world, horrid demons emerging from nothing, calling to trample the Shilon Empire and all of humanity. Ren, looking at the skies awaiting honor from Shenhai, demanded to conquer the enemy head-on with all their might. The battle of Yamamura raged on for days on end, miraculously leading to victory, barely. There's no such thing as a good war, Ren’s arrogance had led the sacrifice of many honorable, soldiers, and generals, which led to Shilon’s downfall. Great shame was brought upon his legacy and his people soon turned against him.
​
Shortly after the war, the same warriors who forced themselves inside the gateway of Kindao claimed that it was the Dragon Emperor Ren who started this chaos. The kingdom of Shilon split into utter resentment for their once-respected ruler. Even with the bereft Ren denying these heinous accusations, his honor has already fallen far enough for his words to be taken for a grain of rice.

But rather in his quarrel with his subjects, he questioned the Heavenly Court. His prayers to his sworn father were left with silence. Frustrated with this absence, he scaled the Divine Pillar for answers, an act forbidden even for kings. As he made it to the top, he was stricken down back to the earth's surface where Admiral Lao and her men planned to subdue him. Ren charged his sword against her shield and they fought surrounded by a pillar of fire until Ren’s emotions turned against him leading Lao to stand on top with her hammer pointed at him, asking him one more time to yield in a cracked, heartbroken delivery. As Ren saw the flames he ignited in his kingdom, the fear in his sister's eyes, and the dishonor from Shenhai and Malong up above, Ren realized what he grew up to be; a tyrant. With his greatest nightmare becoming a reality, Ren knelt and faded away, never to be seen again.
