Background / History

Li Jiayu is reborn into the period immediately before the Bug Realm invasion. When his warnings are dismissed, he identifies the coming cosmic storm and insect attacks, then frightens his classmates by recounting how each of them died in his previous life. His immediate concern is Kurumi Tokisaki’s whereabouts, whom he remembers as especially important to him. 83 91

In the previous timeline, Li Jiayu fought alongside Kurumi from the beginning of the apocalypse. After Kurumi departed for another world, he never saw her again before his death while gravely wounded and besieged by Legendary-ranked enemies. Upon meeting Kurumi again after his rebirth, he entrusts her with the secret of his rebirth. 91 121

At Xijiang University, Li Jiayu becomes a central defender and leader. He risks himself to rescue relatives in Anning Residential Area, trains the group for its escape toward Yong City, and repeatedly places himself at the center of dangerous conflicts. 131 176

His crystal-core-induced hormonal changes steadily feminize his body. After demonizing during the battle at Yulin City, Kurumi enters his consciousness to suppress the Demon Lord within him. His dormant Papal of Light inheritance then activates, purifies the Demon Lord’s residual aura, and stimulates his Divine Spark. 111 831 833

Li Jiayu completes an early transformation into the Goddess of Light, becoming a female divine successor with overwhelming light power. Though initially distressed and confused by the change, she later gathers faith in multiple worlds in pursuit of the Epic realm. 835 836 1013 1016

Appearance

Li Jiayu is initially a delicate, white-haired young man whose appearance is frequently mistaken for female. His feminization becomes progressively more pronounced before his complete transformation into the Goddess of Light. 92 130 835

• White hair and ice-blue eyes. 91 159
• Slender, exceptionally feminine build; his Adam’s apple is one of the few visible signs of his initial male sex. 130
• Long white hair becomes increasingly difficult to manage as his strength grows. 810
• As the Goddess of Light, he gains longer radiant silver hair, a more petite body, a sacred aura, and divine light capable of purifying the Corpse Race. 835

Personality

Li Jiayu is decisive, confrontational, and intensely protective of people he considers important. His rebirth gives him a grim awareness of death and disaster, while his willingness to rescue family and lead others shows a strong sense of responsibility. 83 131 176

He is notably poor at reading emotions and social situations. Kurumi and others repeatedly observe his low emotional intelligence, especially in his blunt interactions with Kikyo and his persistent, awkward attention toward Kurumi. 162 163 817

Li Jiayu is deeply attached to Kurumi. His concern develops from urgently searching for her at the apocalypse’s beginning to insomnia, protectiveness, and a determination to become strong enough to reach her even if she leaves again. 83 181 245
