Jong Li tried to help her but failed, and his temple and fellow monks were ravaged by the emperor's troops and their commander. He was taught to renounce all earthly possessions and live a life of peace and discipline, but then one day, a concubine named Jade Moon came to him in his temple, begging for help in trying to escape her bonds. When Jong Li was growing up, he was taught of the Dragon Lords, beings who ruled in the 'Golden Age' of man, and that under these lords, man prospered. Jong Li is a Green Lantern introduced in Green Lantern, Dragon Lord #1 (June 2001), written by Doug Moench and drawn by Paul Gulacy.He's actually Earth's first Green Lantern and was a monk raised in the Temple of the Dragon Lords in China. He shot beams at Darkseid, who hastily cut his hand and killed him, but his ring flew away to find a new wearer worthy of its power before Darkseid could get it, thanks to Zeus and his children Ares and Artemis. In Zack Snyder's Justice League, Yalan Gur appears as a 'guardian from the sky' alongside the Old Gods, Atlanteans, Amazons and humans who fought against Darkseid and his army of Parademons in around 3000 BC. Meeting a more noble fate than his comic book counterpart, Yalan Gur is killed opposing Steppenwolf, with his ring fleeing to find a suitable successor this draws Steppenwolf's attention, allowing the Olympian gods to attack him. In the film Justice League, the character is present at the battle during the 10th century, aligned with the Amazons, Humans and Atlanteans against Steppenwolf and his armies. The later retcon involving the true reason behind the yellow impurity may mean these events have been retconned out of existence. His lantern then collided with a fragment of the Starheart and was merged with its magical essence, turning into the Green Flame that becomes the source of Alan Scott's power. The dying Yalan Gur fled into Earth's upper atmosphere, where he merged with his power battery as he died. The Guardians of the Universe thwarted Yalan by adding a new weakness of wood to his ring, allowing villagers to overwhelm and mortally wound him. Without this limitation, however, he was corrupted by power, and he came to Earth and enslaved the people of China.

Yalan Gur was once one of the greatest of the Green Lantern Corps, and, in the 10th century by Earth reckoning, the Guardians of the Universe chose to remove the customary weakness to the color yellow from his power ring. After tracing the projection to Scott's home, the lantern tells the story of its origin (effectively retconning the origin of Alan Scott's power). While Alan Scott, along with the rest of the Justice Society of America, is trapped in Limbo, his mystic lantern sends a projection to Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, and John Stewart. He is a red-scaled, reptilian humanoid, assigned to sector 2814 in the 10th century. Yalan Gur is a Green Lantern introduced as part of an effort to reconcile the Golden Age Green Lantern's origin with the later introduction of the Green Lantern Corps.
