Background and History
Early Simulation Arenas
Dug’s first documented Keyword set is Maintenance and Backstab. While operating under the Feng Family, he exploits the benefits created by his plans, then convinces Feng Shiyi to disown him so that he can act independently. He infiltrates the Iron Palm Gang and personally backstabs its leader, Qiu Yuanlang, declaring that he will eliminate the gang’s harmful influence rather than bind himself to any family or faction 9 29.
In a later apocalypse scenario, he discovers that traded attributes are not counted by the system’s evaluation of his strength. He turns this loophole into a citywide agency network, trades supplies for power, and establishes Charity Unlimited Company. By retaining a share of every agent’s transactions, he turns Yong'an City into a compounding source of attributes, manpower, and communications infrastructure 111 113 119.
Cultivation World Campaign
Dug expands the Supervision Institute through commerce, loans, real estate, and recruitment, while gathering talented cultivators into the Scar Group. His organization becomes influential enough that the Yan State’s monarch and merchants depend on its economic system 248.
After unifying the cultivation world and mortal nations, he distributes spiritual energy and resources, becoming a living deity in the eyes of ordinary people. Rather than simply preserve his own rank, he proposes distributing top Alien Battlefield positions among different planets and begins openly considering resistance to Pan-Universe Entertainment 260.
King Holly and the Sea God Arena
Body Snatched into the assassin Leng Shi, Dug uses the identity of Qingwu agent He Xu while wielding the Keywords Loyalty and Trend. He helps Luoshuang unite the kingdoms, and Trend’s Power of Faith gives him continent-spanning awareness 300 375.
In a later world, he is imprisoned before emerging as King Holly. He promotes asceticism, trains companions such as Simon, and experiments on his own Sea God Martial Soul. These experiments lead to Lotus Root Broken, Fibers Connected, an independent split soul fragment capable of possessing another creature 383 412 413.
Dug defeats the Sun God Boderuna, claims a second Martial Soul, and uses the Sun God’s remains to secure the Archangels’ loyalty. He then publicly reclaims the name “Dug” to rally allies and deny impostors the benefit of his reputation 436 438.
Azure Star Campaign
While inhabiting Lin Hong, Dug becomes the Battle Network competitor Kill One Person in Ten Steps. Using a cheap Seaswallow Mecha, he defeats more advanced opponents, clears pilot assessments, and publishes verified Mecha optimization proposals that establish him as a design genius 455 457 467.
He also operates secretly as the Masked Hero, develops Profound Concealment, and collaborates with Azure Star’s Strategic Defense Bureau against Alien Warriors and the Hill Civilization. When his identity is exposed, he publicly frames his work as the defense of Azure Star and rallies mass support for a campaign against the Hill People 459 485 503.
Multiversal Conflict
Dug repeatedly uses Body Snatching, Divine Power, cultivation, and public influence to seize control of worlds before opponents can organize. In one cultivation scenario, he forms a Golden Core containing Darkness, Solar, and Sea God Divine Powers; in another, he seeks to become a “wild” emperor backed by the Dragon Vein 522 529.
After his hidden Keywords are exposed in the cosmic battlefield, Dug no longer conceals the scale of his power. He gathers fleets and civilizations around Species Origin, defeats powerful gods, and becomes Pan-Universe Entertainment’s highest-priority target for forced Body Snatching 630 650.
Personality
Dug is intensely pragmatic and treats every environment as a system to be understood, exploited, and scaled. He consistently looks for compounding advantages: an agency network, a political reform, public reputation, a new technology, or an opponent’s emotional weakness can all become tools for growth 111 248 467.
He is willing to deceive, threaten, maim, and kill when he considers it necessary. His plans involving the Soul Suppressing Bottle, Prince Duan, and hostile Alien Warriors show that his compassion does not prevent ruthless action against those he judges dangerous or corrupt 522 529 630.
At the same time, Dug repeatedly builds loyalty by sharing resources, protecting followers, and presenting himself as a defender of ordinary people. Even critics recognize that he tends to make maximal use of those around him rather than discard them without cause, and he often gives full effort to whichever faction he has joined until he outgrows it 107 319.
He values freedom above temporary authority. His long-term objective is not merely to win Alien Battlefields, but to escape Pan-Universe Entertainment’s control and prevent humanity from remaining a disposable part of its games 260 597.
