**Che Yongtai** is one of the tritagonists of the *Guardians of Night* series. He is a student from Xiahou High School who lives a double life as a guardian and protects normal humans from monsters. He is the reincarnation of a demon lord that massacred and almost conquered the human world more than a century ago.

## Background

According to demon legends, a century ago, two arrogant demon lords massacred the human world and the Underworld, killing thousands of people and demons indiscriminately. The two eventually met their demise when both humans and demons sent out all of their strong warriors to fight them and used multiple tactics against them, which they barely won with. After being killed, their souls resided in the Blood Pool in the Underworld and recovered for the next hundred years. Eventually, they were able to reincarnate into the two new demon lords Che Yongtai and Xi Sha, who then spent years in the Blood Pool maturing and occasionally fighting each other before being released by Yan Wen to obtain the Heaven Crystal.

According to Shi Ji, and later proven by Ye Yan after he time-travelled, in the year 1860, Che Yongtai's previous incarnation instigated a war in an attempt to conquer the human world during the Warring Period, which went down in human history as the XX War to conceal the supernatural contents from ordinary humans. He had three hundred lovers, Shi Ji being one of them, and his level of power was on par with Xi Sha's previous incarnation, who at that point conquered the Underworld. Due to joining the war when the humans have significantly weakened each other before his arrival, he was able to quickly conquer most of the human world. At one point, he was challenged by the strongest Nightwatcher of that time, who wielded five Demon Flags and was in his Night Conqueror mode, but easily defeated him and crippled his ability to fight. He was later ambushed by thirty powerful spiritual warriors, but managed to retaliate and kill half of them, though he did sustain major injuries. Afterwards, he retreated to his Demon Lord City and conjured up an impregnable magical protection barrier around the city, prohibiting others from entering the city or leaving without his permission. He then began to gather five hundred spiritual humans under the age of eighteen in his city, who he intended to use as blood sacrifices to heal himself and boost his strength. He killed Golden Lamp during the process after a failed assassination from the monk. Eventually, he was killed by the combined forces of Ye Liao and Xiahou Shan, Ye Yan's ancestors, Huang Yuanqing, Huang Xiaoyan's ancestor, and Ximen Lianyin, Ximen Guanren and Ximen Ruxin's ancestor.

In the new timeline resulting from Ye Yan's time travel, Che Yongtai's previous incarnation almost managed to survive the assassination attempt and kill the representatives of the Three Great Guardian Clans, but was instead beaten to death by Ye Yan.

## Personality

Che Yongtai is often characterised as being unintelligent, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive. He refers to himself as 大爷 (Dà Yé) or 老子 (Lǎo Zi), pompous and assertive forms of "I", and others as "small fries" (杂鱼). In particular, he refers to Xi Sha as his "follower" (跟班). His short-tempered and aggressive attitude is also demonstrated multiple times throughout the series, as he always resorts to violence first when someone displeases him. Che Yongtai's simple-mindedness is also repeatedly emphasized, with him frequently being fooled, led to a trap, and tricked into revealing information due to his straightforwardness.

Che Yongtai is extremely amorous. Due to biologically going through puberty but never meeting a woman he considers attractive, he can be easily infatuated by beautiful women, even if they are his enemies. Talking to a pretty woman is enough to cause Che Yongtai to blush, while even the slightest perverted act with one could trigger a nosebleed from him, with more extreme acts causing heavier blushes and more intense nosebloods that could possibly incapacitate him.

He shows an intense rivalry towards Ye Yan, who he considers his love rival due to his relationship with Huang Xiaoyan. He, like Xi Sha, exhibits extremely jealousy when the two interact or say something that he misinterprets as them being intimate. This usually results in him attacking Ye Yan, and if accompanied with Xi Sha, evolves into a brawl.

After being involved with Ximen Ruxin's activities, it is revealed that Che Yongtai is a masochist, or awakened as one.

## Appearance

Che Yongtai is a tall and muscular man with red hair, gray eyes, two horns on his head and a red tattoo on his neck. He is really handsome as stated by Bao Huajuan, who is extremely attracted towards him. He looks identical to his previous incarnation.

Before he met Ye Yan, Che Yongtai wore the Heavenly Demon Armor, which helped him channel his energy to cast powerful magic spells. After meeting Ye Yan in a metro station, Che Yongtai tried out a cosplay show with him by dressing up as a rabbit to attract girls and gave the armor to Ye Yan. After accidentally walking onto the train tracks for the underground subway, Che Yongtai was hit by a train and was taken to a hospital, where he saw the picture of person wearing a business suit and manifested said clothing, which has become his standard attire

During the Double Devils Arc, he wore a pair of blue swimming trunks.

During the School Play Arc, he dressed up as the Evil Queen from *Snow White*, the stepmother from *Cinderella* and ultimately as Sun Wukong from *Journey to the West*.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Due to the reincarnation of the demon lord being inferior in quality, Che Yongtai does not retain even 10% of the previous demon lord's magic power or intelligence. However, he gained unbelievable strength, endurance, stamina and some special skills that are only rivalled by Xi Sha, another demon lord in exchange.

**Supernatural Condition**: Che Yongtai possesses a supernaturally powerful physical condition. He was able to throw a shot put ball with enough power to destroy a building, easily defeat Ye Yan in a fistfight, tear a limb off the Defender of the Double Devils. and casually defeat a mob of gangsters with just his fists. Durability and endurance-wise, he fought and remained unharmed after being hit multiple times by Deng Yuankui for one hour, who is strong enough to throw a person several hundred meters into the sky and knock back someone so hard that they could die from sheer impact, as well as not flinch at all from cutting off his own kidney with a knife. In stamina, he was able to beat down Cang Ri, a wolf monster whose stamina is ten times greater than a human's without showing any sign of fatigue seemingly forever.

**Enhanced Senses**: Che Yongtai possesses enhanced hearing and smelling. He was able to accurately hear Yue Wuer's speech despite him being some distance away. He was able to smell the stench of the Youth Pills created by Cang Ri, which even Ye Yan could not detect.

### Techniques

**Magic Dispelling Eye** (破法之眼 *Pò Fǎ Zhī Yǎn*): Che Yongtai's previous incarnation possessed eyes that were able to ascertain the amount of magic power used for spells, even if they were purposely concealed. He was able to determine that Huang Yuanqing increased the power of her Destruction Tag Concentrate Fire by looking at the talisman and noticing that they were brighter than before, even when she tried to conceal their power and make them appear weaker. These eyes could also detect hidden lifeforms, as shown when he looked at the huge boulder thrown at him by Huang Yuangqing and noted that there weren't any lifeforms or magical weapons hiding in it, although he was not able to detect Ximen Lianyin hiding in the shadows of the rock's cracks.
**Heavenly Demon God-Slaying Kill** (天魔弑神杀 *Tiān Mó Shì Shén Shā*): Che Yongtai's previous incarnation's strongest attack. After enveloping both of his hands with orange energy in the shape of spheres, the Demon Lord then flies towards his enemies with both his fists stretched forward, which he uses to strike with.Ye Yan's Flag Demon Sui Fenger, who was a witness of the original assassination on the Demon Lord, noted that the technique was originally weaker due to the latter's weakened state and the lack of a complete armor, causing the energy to barely cover his fists. During the second time Ye Yan time-travelled, he accidentally caused the Demon Lord to gain the full set of the Heavenly Demon Armor, allowing him to triple his power. The subsequent Heavenly Demon God-Slaying Kill gathered energy roughly the size of the demon lord's whole body and was much stronger compared to the original timeline's, nearly causing the death of the entire assassination team.

## Equipment

**Heavenly Demon Armor** (天魔战甲 *Tiān Mó Zhàn Jiǎ*): An armor worn by Che Yongtai's previous incarnation that helps him channel energy better and reduce his stamina exhaustion rate. The method of creating the armor has been lost for a long time. By wearing the armor, Che Yongtai is able to successfully use offensive techniques that require large amounts of energy. Due to his lack of experience and power, without the armor the energy will disrupt inside Che Yongtai's body, causing him to faint whenever he tries to cast a powerful spell.As shown by Che Yongtai's previous incarnation, the armor has a secret function that can be activated. Upon activating its secret function, the armor will be summoned onto him unless parts or all of it were stored in a different dimension. With the full set of armor, he can activate the armor's secret ability and temporarily triple his total strength for ten minutes when activated, which cloaks him in a blue light and causes his eyes to glow.
**God Destroyer** (诸神毁灭者 *Zhū Shén Huǐ Miè Zhě*): Che Yongtai's previous incarnation's treasured blade. The God Destroyer has the ability to create a cage of electricity that traps the people inside it regardless of its user's strength. The cage of electricty allows people from the outside to enter it, but prevents anyone but the user themselves from exiting. Additionally, the blade also possesses the ability to create an invisible barrier with a twenty meter radius around it that completes seals off all magic usage in it, including the user's, and will trap the people within it for a day or until only one person remains alive within the barrier. Due to his lack of proficiency in magic, Che Yongtai could not obtain this blade, which requires magic to sustain. Shi Ji noted that this blade cannot change its size through transformation.
