Gu An

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Gu An was reincarnated eighteen years before the start of the story, but his memories of his previous life remained dormant until his world-creation ceremony 1.

At five, he was adopted from an orphanage by Gu Xi’s family. After their parents died in a car accident three years before the story, he continued attending school while caring for his sister, whose congenital vitality deficiency required ongoing treatment 5.

Personality

Gu An is a strong theory student who speaks bluntly, even when his criticism provokes others. He remains composed when classmates ridicule his apparently empty world and answers insults with sharp retorts 1 2 11.

He is attentive and protective toward Gu Xi, managing her meals and medication while concealing his debt and worries from her. His decisions about world development are also calculated: he considers loan terms carefully and declines to sell a share of his world’s profits before its potential is assessed 4 5 14.

Abilities & Skills

World Creation

Through his system, Gu An established mythic principles as the foundation of the Supreme Great Wilderness. He can enter and observe his natal world through his connection to it and invest Creation Origin to advance its development 2 10.

• His initial plan established the Chaos Pearl, Chaos Green Lotus, Sky-Opening Axe, and Fortune Jade Disc as the Four Treasures of Chaos 2.
• The innate demon gods possess independent wills; Gu An can nurture their emergence but cannot dictate how they pursue their Daos 2 6.
• He hopes the future Creation Demon God might repair Gu Xi’s life foundation, but that being has not yet awakened 9 10.

Brief Future Perception

Time Dao feedback allows Gu An to glimpse events a few breaths before they happen 3 6.

• He changed a foreseen outcome by moving a classmate’s cup before it spilled 3.
• He used the ability to foresee dice results at the Lanting Clubhouse and to evade Tang Xiaosan’s attacks in a spar 8 12 14.
• Looking too far ahead or using the ability repeatedly causes strain and pain between his brows 6 8.

Innate Divine Flame

Chi Li’s birth granted Gu An a wisp of Innate Divine Flame, giving him a direct offensive ability 14.

• The flame he received is a portion his body can withstand, not the full power wielded by Chi Li 14.
• He practiced using it while preparing for the school assessment 14.

Relationships

• Gu Xi — His adopted younger sister, whom he has cared for since their parents’ deaths. Finding a cure for her congenital vitality deficiency becomes a major reason for advancing his world 5 9 10.
• Lorina — A classmate and rival in the school evaluation. She wagered that Gu An would kiss her shoe and call her “mommy” if he lost; he countered that she must call him “daddy” if she lost 1 2.
• Shen Tang — A resource seller who arranged Gu An’s first Creation Origin loan and later offered him a development partnership, which he declined for the time being 4 14.
• Tang Xiaosan — A student who mocked Gu An’s world and lost two portions of Creation Origin to him in a wagered spar 11 12.
• Cheng Ye — A classmate whose thermos Gu An saved using his first glimpse of the future; Cheng Ye later defended him against Tang Xiaosan’s insults 3 11.
• Shi Chen, Yang Mei, and Chi Li — Innate demon gods born within Gu An’s Chaos, associated with the Daos of time, space, and fire respectively 2 6 13.

Story Role

Building the Mythic Chaos

At the creation ceremony, Gu An abandoned his prepared low-martial plan in favor of a mythic world based on the legends of his previous life. His initial investment left him without Creation Origin, and his world’s gray projection drew ridicule despite the treasures and beings forming within it 2.

To fund further evolution, he borrowed enough to buy one unit of ordinary Creation Origin. After gaining control over Brief Future Perception, he used it at the Lanting Clubhouse, turning 5,000 Star Coins into 320,000 and buying four more portions of Origin 4 6 8.

Gu Xi’s Illness

Gu Xi’s condition worsened, and a doctor explained that ordinary medicine could not restore her life foundation. Gu An began pursuing the Creation Dao as a possible route to a cure, investing his four portions of Origin and witnessing the formation of a Chaos Dao Embryo 9 10.

He later defeated Tang Xiaosan in a wagered spar and used his winnings to bring Chi Li to life. Gu Xi remained stable in hospital but had not received a true cure by the time of the school assessment 12 13 14.

School Evaluation

After Lorina received Grade A, Gu An presented his still-unopened Chaos. He revealed its River of Time and the three Daoists associated with time, space, and fire, prompting evaluator Meng Yuanzhou to acknowledge that the world was a contender for first place. The evaluation was still underway when a vast cyan lotus petal began to emerge 16 17.
