Background

Liu Jie is the youngest of Liu Jingtao's five sons. After Liu Jie's talent became apparent, Liu Jingtao chose him as the intended heir of the Liu family business over Qi Yun, the executive previously considered for succession. 551

In Lu Yang's previous life, Liu Jie and Bloodlust Overlord were among those who surrounded Lu Yang at the Ancient God Battlefield. Lu Yang's rebirth is driven in large part by his intention to destroy Liu Jie and his interests. 19 182

Liu Jie's corporate resources allowed him to build influence through acquisitions, paid troops, studios, intelligence networks, and equipment production. He later purchased twelve major guilds to consolidate Purplegold Royal City and expanded toward Human Race territory. 548 558

Personality

Liu Jie presents himself as polished, calm, and businesslike, using courtesy and wealth to establish dominance. During his meeting with Lu Yang, he initially framed his proposed takeover as cooperation before threatening war when the offer was rejected. 561 562

He is intensely status-conscious and accustomed to obedience. Lu Yang compares Liu Jie's attitude toward weaker opponents to a predator treating prey as something naturally beneath it. 569

His confidence often becomes recklessness. He dismisses warnings, underestimates Lu Yang repeatedly, and allows his desire for revenge to override tactical caution during the march on Dingzhou Fortress. 558 746 1933 However, he can make ruthless strategic withdrawals when necessary, such as liquidating twelve main cities to preserve his remaining forces. 1143

Story Role

Attempted takeover of the Iron Blood Brotherhood

Liu Jie first contacts Lu Yang as the executive director of Zhongtian Consortium to pursue an acquisition of the Iron Blood Brotherhood. 350 He later offers three billion Credit Points for 51% of the guild's shares and proposes a merger. 561

After Lu Yang's side exposes the coercive conditions behind the offer, Liu Jie abandons negotiation and declares that he will personally lead 1.8 million players against Hannibal City and St. Gall City. 562

Defeat at Echo Fortress

Liu Jie advances on Echo Fortress with overwhelming numerical and equipment advantages, expecting Lu Yang's guild to collapse. 564 569 Lu Yang instead turns Liu Jie's purchased guild leaders and Forbidden Spell mages against him by helping twelve indebted guilds obtain equipment materials. 569 570

The betrayal destroys Liu Jie's command structure. His original two-million-player force is reduced to roughly 50,000 loyal troops, forcing him to retreat with Ming Yue while Lu Yang's forces pursue him. 570

Consolidation of the Elf Race

Liu Jie recovers from the Echo Fortress defeat by rebuilding in the Elf Race. He regains nine fortresses and two main cities, then formally unifies the Elf Race after taking its remaining territories. 625 872

He also plans to eliminate Liang Yun and unify the Elf Race within a month, while authorizing an attempted assassination of Lu Yang by Killer God. 833

Conflict with Tian Yao and the Liu Corporation crisis

Liu Jie uses Liu Ruoshi to manipulate Lu Yang and Tian Yao, intending to create internal chaos in the Iron Blood Brotherhood and eliminate Tian Yao afterward. 892 936 The scheme is exposed publicly, damaging Liu Jie's position and helping Lu Yang rally opposition against him. 939

Lu Yang and Qi Yun then launch a coordinated campaign against the Liu family's business interests. During their confrontation, Lu Yang reveals that the collapse of a major American investment bank has endangered Liu Jie's family finances. 938 944

International expansion and African campaign

Despite domestic setbacks, Liu Jie defeats six European countries and earns more than 20 billion credits. 1015 When the African server connects to the world server, his Black African legion becomes an immediate strategic threat to Lu Yang and other international guilds. 1014

He later expands from the north, breaks through the defenses surrounding his territory, and captures the rear cities of the Gods Cavalry Regiment. 1257 His inability to return to China and the collapse of his former influence leave him increasingly dependent on African forces, outside financial backers, and the Dark Knights. 1323 1783 1885

Betrayal of Steiger and defeat at Dingzhou

Liu Jie allies with Jerz and other leaders against Lu Yang, then betrays the arrangement by launching an eight-million-player surprise attack on Steiger while allied Demigods are unavailable. 1783 1804

Driven by revenge, he ignores Ruyue Taishan's warning that the route to Dingzhou Fortress is vulnerable to ambush. His army breaks through forty-two defense lines, only to be trapped between Dingzhou Fortress and Gai Suwen Fortress. 1933 1937

Lu Yang's Myriad Worlds Missile forces devastate the retreating army. Liu Jie's players are forced to die repeatedly to escape, withdrawing from the New Continent war after an average of forty-five deaths per player and the loss of their equipment and supplies. 1937
