Background and Objectives

The Guixu Cult is a clandestine organization of sorcerers and cultivators that treats fear—rather than any conventional deity—as its central belief. Its stated ultimate objective is to open the legendary Gate of Fear Source and force the world into an era dominated by fear. 58

Its operations evolved from isolated experiments on artificial vengeful spirits into coordinated attempts to contaminate reality at a conceptual level, manufacture high-grade anomalous entities, corrupt vital supernatural sites, and gather materials for a project codenamed God Creation. 58 71 165 222

The cult’s emblem is a distorted vortex eye: a symbol conveying the concept of an ever-present gaze. It appears on tokens, facilities, ritual objects, and symbols copied through controlled victims. 69 106 271

Internal Control

Cult members exhibit extreme fanaticism and disregard for death, often continuing to fight after fatal injuries or using their own lives as ritual fuel. 170 219

High-ranking personnel may carry a Source of Fear Curse Seal, a malicious mental shackle that destroys the bearer’s divine soul if their memories are forcibly probed. 116

Methods and Capabilities

Artificial Vengeful-Spirit Creation

The Guixu Cult can manufacture and forcibly strengthen vengeful spirits by blending emotions, implanting memories, manipulating rumors, and feeding entities with fear.

• It fused resentment, fear, despair, and twisted love into the Blood Jade Bracelet’s spirit vessel, creating an unstable experimental subject. 48
• In the “Grudge Gathering” experiment at Jinling University, it repeatedly implanted memories of betrayal into a suicide victim’s resentful spirit and used student fear to elevate it from E-Class to D-Class in seventy-two hours. 68
• It developed technology capable of reliably creating C-Class-or-higher artificial vengeful spirits with potential for continued evolution. 58
• Its experiments can fail catastrophically: the Jinling subject lost control, seriously injured three students, and caused another to suffer a mental breakdown. 68

Conceptual Contamination and Urban Legends

The cult uses urban legends as tools for information transmission, surveillance, and reality contamination.

• The Silent Whisperer compelled students to record incomprehensible information and draw fragments of the vortex-eye emblem. 69
• These fragments were intended to form a nationwide “beacon,” comparable to a signal base station, for contaminating reality at a conceptual level. 71
• The cult embeds remote-surveillance safeguards in its creations; the Silent Whisperer’s collapse caused severe mental backlash to an underground-facility researcher linked to it. 70

Ritual Engineering and Biological Weapons

The cult employs large-scale rituals, blood sacrifice, and engineered lifeforms to create disasters beyond ordinary anomalous events.

• God Creation requires Soul Origin Liquid as a catalyst; Blood Butcher collected raw materials for the project through human experimentation. 165
• The cult created the Demi-human at the Donghai Comic Convention by using mass fantasy as an embryo and powerful combat energy as nourishment. 112
• Its Blood Mist Soul-Bewildering Array separates victims, disables electronics, induces hallucinations, strips the senses, and drives allies to attack one another. 224
• Its flesh altar at Qingcheng Mountain used blood-sacrifice puppets and a curse field to drain the Dragon Vein. 227
• The Deep Sea Nightmare, later identified as a manufactured biological weapon, was one of the cult’s creations. 162

Infiltration and External Collaboration

The cult maintains covert networks, recruits collaborators, and cooperates with outside factions when useful.

• A black wooden vortex-eye carving functions as a Collaborator’s Certificate, allowing preliminary verification with lower-ranking cult members. 106
• A separate vortex-eye token recovered from the Shadow Demon signified high-ranking status. 113
• The Shanghai Gao Family collaborated with the cult in the Donghai Comic Convention operation. 106 107
• Its members infiltrated the Ghost Market auction to recover Soul Origin Liquid and planned to murder Chu Tianjiao after he acquired the supposed shipment. 167 169
