Background

Vivian and her younger sister Vivia had been inseparable since birth. Despite possessing the means to support themselves by hunting magical beasts, Vivian insisted on opening the modest Anya Tavern, whose name combines the final characters of their names. Vivia had little interest in tavernkeeping but supported it because it made her sister happy. 763

After Xiao Xie emerged in their tavern in ragged clothing, Vivian knocked him unconscious with a level-three Undead Orb after he accidentally exposed himself. Although suspicious of his origins, she accepted him as an attendant and told him he could call her either Vivian or “Boss Lady.” 764 768

Her black crystal accelerated her cultivation of Dark Magic. The Underworld God later stole it, leading Vivian to deduce that it had likely been a divine spark; its counterpart, Vivia's white crystal, was identified as a High-Rank Godhead of Life. 947 955 956

Appearance

Vivian is a petite young woman whose delicate appearance often causes others to underestimate her strength. She is described with red hair, ruby-like eyes, and a youthful appearance despite her immense age. 764 856 1229

• Wore a purple dress while managing Anya Tavern. 768
• Later appeared in a fitted red outfit. 1229
• Uses a silver whip in battle. 857
• Her body became pale after the Underworld God's undead blood fused with her own, leaving Death Qi within her. 954

Personality

Vivian is outspoken, forceful, and fiercely protective of those she considers her own. She casually accepted responsibility for Xiao Xie after taking him in, declaring that she would stand by him unconditionally regardless of his enemies. 768 868

She is also impulsive and childish at times. Vivian takes great pride in her cooking despite its notorious status as “Dark Cuisine,” enthusiastically recruited Duo Duo as her disciple, and pressured Carl and Kurt to provide birthday gifts. 850 1015

Beneath her tough demeanor, she is conservative and easily embarrassed, particularly after Xiao Xie saw her exposed during her rescue. Her affection for Xiao Xie later develops into marriage, but her resentment at his unexplained disappearance remained strong enough for her to beat him severely upon their reunion. 954 1103 1229 1230

Abilities & Skills

Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts

Vivian simultaneously cultivates battle aura and magic, an uncommon path that makes her stronger than ordinary practitioners of the same level. 857

• Reached Seventh-Level Magician and Eighth-Level Warrior cultivation while still in her twenties. 857
• Uses Dark Magic and Death Dou Qi. 857 859
• Held back against Tylon, fighting him with combat techniques without using magic. 858
• Can use a level-three Undead Orb. 768

Nether Physique and Death Rule

Vivian possesses a Nether Physique, an exceptional body constitution that drew the Underworld God's attention. He sought to refine her into a self-cultivating Corpse God with unlimited potential. 949

• Survived the attempted Corpse God refinement after Xiao Xie intervened. 951 954
• Retained Death Qi from the God-level undead blood used in the ritual. 954
• The Death Qi does not harm her and can aid her comprehension of the Death Rule. 954
• Her subsequent cultivation led to a Death Godhead and eventually the position of Death Dominator. 1015 1229

Soul-Soul Fruit

Xiao Xie gave Vivian the Soul-Soul Fruit to complement her Death Qi and assist her in condensing a Godhead of Death. 957

• Can grant life to Chief God Artifacts and Supreme Divine Artifacts. 1232
• Used this power to create the living Supreme Divine Artifact Black Feather. 1232

Dominator Authority

As the Death Dominator, Vivian commands authority far beyond ordinary gods. 1229

• Her words became law when she immobilized Artoria, Bai Suzhen, and Xiao Qing in Emperor Soul City. 1229
• Her true body is a Nether Fruit Tree, giving her innate abilities stronger than Auf's. 1234
• Works in concert with Vivia and Xiao Lie; the three are regarded as a formidable family of Dominators. 1267

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sun-Shooting Bow and nine Sun Shooting Arrows — Given by Xiao Xie; Vivian fused the Bull Demon King's soul body into the bow, making it a living weapon. Its full output can rival an Upper God Great Perfection expert unless opposed by a soul cultivator. 1104
• Black Feather — Living attack-type Supreme Divine Artifact created through the Soul-Soul Fruit. 1232
• Soul Defense Supreme Divine Artifact — A white bracelet supplied by Vivia and fitted around Black Feather's hilt, protecting the weapon's soul from its primary weakness. 1232
• Death Rule Crystal — A complete Rule Crystal provided by Xiao Xie to support her advance toward Death Great Perfection. 1234
• Shadow — A soul-infused puppet Vivian refined and entrusted to Xiao Xie for protection; stronger than an ordinary Middle God. 1235

• Vivia Locke — Younger sister and lifelong companion. The sisters operate Anya Tavern together, support one another in battle, and spent trillions of years searching for Xiao Xie. 763 858 1229
• Duo Duo — Disciple. Vivian eagerly accepted the elf as a cooking disciple after Duo Duo sincerely enjoyed her Dark Cuisine. 850
• Xiao Lie — Son with Xiao Xie; the second Flame Emperor and Darkness Dominator. Vivian named him after his birth during Xiao Xie's disappearance and continues to treat him like a child. 1228 1232
• Carl and Kurt — Tavern attendants. They fear Vivian's Dark Cuisine and her expectations for birthday gifts, but regard Anya Tavern as home. 850 1015
• Black Feather — Living Supreme Divine Artifact created by Vivian; addresses her as “Lady Vivian” and behaves affectionately toward her. 1232
• Underworld God / Mitchell Nicholas — Enemy who abducted Vivian to refine her into a Corpse God. 949 950 951
