Background / History

In her previous life, Zhao Ji was known as Xi Yue. She began as an orphan in a decaying world, surviving on handouts and scavenging in graveyards. When that world was consumed by the Boundless Mind Sea and entered the Cataclysm Era, she rose with extraordinary speed: Sixth Order in a year, Eighth Order in two, and a Heavenly God by seventeen. 688

Xi Yue was not only a legendary combatant. She researched the structure of Calamity Abilities, developed the Calamity Equation Set, and established that abilities could be combined rather than remaining bound to a single individual. She also created numerous Calamity Abilities and Heavenly God Skills. 688 780

After voluntarily giving up her former strength, she reincarnated and began cultivating again under the name Zhao Ji. Her appearance, physique, and name changed, but her aloof temperament remained recognizable to Tian Qi and Doris. 687 689

In her new life, Zhao Ji became the strongest Evil God around New Realm City. Her base was located in East City, while her influence extended across eight cities. 274 Her initial attempt to advance to Sixth Order in the Boundless Mind Sea Core Area failed, forcing her to return to the East City Area as a Fifth Order Peak Great Evil God. 464

She later secured the resources needed to succeed, reached Sixth Order, absorbed nine areas into herself, and granted Qiu Tu authority over four prefectures comprising sixty-three cities. 537 538

Appearance

Zhao Ji is usually depicted in white clothing and carries a long sword. Her beauty is paired with an aloof, distant presence that others compare to an iceberg or an unfathomable sea. 538 654

• Fair, softly luminous skin and deep emerald-like eyes in her usual form. 538 654
• A golden star appears on her forehead while cultivating. 681
• Her original hair color is gold. 559

Personality

Zhao Ji is composed, cold, and exceptionally self-confident. She regards herself as the strongest and most talented being of her era, favoring overwhelming force and a decisive killing blow over elaborate combat techniques. 781

Despite her intimidating demeanor, she is observant rather than reckless. While seeking Destruction Path Heavenly Gods to devour in Chaos West Capital, she watched events unfold for days and waited for an advantageous opening instead of attacking indiscriminately. 761 She is also receptive to exceptional talent and praise, even if she outwardly denies enjoying flattery. 654

Her bond with Qiu Tu gradually softens her. She has protected him through his rise in power, shares sensitive intelligence with him, creates techniques for him, and takes his safety seriously. 747 781
