Background / History

Gu Xi began as a Minggu Bone Wind Academy student whose discovery of the Three Divine Skills changed his ambitions. After gaining Death City, he insisted on retaining his ranking and rewards, including the Chief Battle Flag and Champion Ring, and resolved to become the academy’s chief graduate. 15 65

His rise centered on Aryadovi City, where Death City gave him rapid troop deployment, retreat, and logistics capabilities. His battlefield results earned him recognition from Minggu Bone Wind Academy, the Chaoyang Radiance Guild, and other factions, though they also drew hostility from guild rivals and equipment-seekers. 66 206 423

Gu Xi later became Gong Lingyu’s final disciple. She criticized his overly defensive command style, provided resources and instruction, and pushed him to build a stronger foundation before pursuing further advancement. 1269

In several worlds, Gu Xi was mistaken for or suspected of being a reincarnated Netherworld powerhouse, Mount Tai Prefect, or similar ancient figure. He consistently avoided confirming these assumptions, using the uncertainty around his identity to negotiate with stronger local powers. 757 770 783

Appearance

Gu Xi frequently changes his presentation through Transfiguration, disguises, and clones. He has posed as an Elf Archer and as Xu Zao, while his Bodybuilding Technique clone can dramatically enlarge his muscles and give him a physical-combat appearance. 1009 1240 2231

• Wears a Black Robe and tailored shirt-and-trouser combination when presenting himself openly as a Necromancer. 1254
• His ordinary equipment is a mixed collection rather than a unified set, with numerous Purple-quality items. 1251
• Can switch into a Bodybuilding Technique state with enlarged muscles, enhanced Strength, and bronze-toned skin. 526 1246
• Has become publicly misidentified as a jungle Elf Archer because of his mobility, unusual body configuration, and forest-like city gate imagery. 3129

Personality

Gu Xi is practical, acquisitive, and intensely focused on long-term growth. He prioritizes useful skills, troop strength, infrastructure, corpses, resources, and equipment over appearances of propriety. His tendency to extract value from every battlefield is so pronounced that he once planned to transport even underground mud back to Aryadovi City. 126 1297

He is cautious rather than timid. Gu Xi often prepares escape routes, city gates, defensive formations, and reserve forces before committing to battle. When an enemy crosses his limits, however, he responds decisively and is willing to eliminate hostile forces completely. 1289 1590 2797

Although he delegates increasingly large responsibilities to his subordinates, Gu Xi is prone to overwork. Grand Princess Anna and Lingxi have repeatedly had to intervene when he neglected food, sleep, or recovery while studying or commanding campaigns. 1348 1986

Abilities & Skills

Three Divine Skills

Gu Xi possesses the Necromancer’s opening Three Divine Skills: Death City, Death Avatar, and Death Lord. Together, they form the basis of his unconventional progression and military power. 15 783

• His mastery of all three made him a high-value target and a figure difficult to assess by level alone. 155 508
• He uses the skills as a connected system rather than isolated techniques, combining city deployment, avatars, recruitment, and undead command. 206 620

Death City

Death City allows Gu Xi to deploy city gates, move through them, transport supplies, and mobilize his undead army with exceptional speed. 206

• Retreats directly into Aryadovi City through a city gate when threatened. 206
• Uses city gates to transport equipment, battlefield loot, building blueprints, and troops. 108 204
• Establishes and expands settlements, including Ghost Domain Forest as a Defense Fortress City. 980

Mind and Fate Techniques

• Mind Kill — provokes or destabilizes enemies, such as the Yakshas he lured into attacking his camp. 645
• Bewitch the Heart — used against a disguised Succubus-affiliated attacker in a carriage. 284
• Mind Nether Lamp — detects hidden enemies and searches for targets through Mind power. 1237
• Mind immunity — resists many mental effects, though the Progenitor Dragon could still see through it. 1478
• Heavenly Mandate Arrow — a Double Red Equipment Resonance technique that alters fate by shooting a fated node; Gu Xi deliberately avoids overusing it. 3093

Hand of Death

Gu Xi’s Hand of Death evolved from profession-specific equipment into one of his central Red Equipment systems. 1614 3320

• Completed its first major stage by creating the Primal Hand of Death and Mutated Hand of Death from two ultra-large Death Cities. 2912
• Its Ghost Prisons provide energy, autonomous enhancement, and support for the associated hands. 2912 2195
• The hands can operate physical weapons at range and remain controllable roughly 300 meters from Gu Xi. 2194
• After reaching Red quality, it unlocked the personal path Chess Player, enabling rapid deployment and movement of his vast undead army. 3320
• Its death-exclusive Underworld path allows Gu Xi to create temporary underworlds and alter existing ones. 3320

• Victory Condensation grants Victory Contracts for victories and kills, allowing equipment improvement and promotion through combat milestones. 2723
