Background / History

The original Andres was a 29-year-old Level Seven Warrior, a Kingdom Knight, and the captain of Duke Demian's daughter Inori's guard. During the Beastmen assault on Black Mountain City, he protected Inori from a Level Eight Warrior's strike, allowing her to kill the attacker and force the Beastmen to withdraw. He later died from those injuries. 1

Zhang Ran, a deceased man from Earth, awakened in Andres's body three days later with the latter's memories. He accepted Andres's identity and resolved to survive in the Coiling Dragon World, where he quickly concluded that personal strength mattered more than noble rank. 1 2

After discovering a system that rewards him for fulfilling geniuses' deepest desires, Andres began seeking and training gifted individuals. His earliest major target was Teresa, a slave with Demigod-level wind Battle Qi talent; Andres personally trained him to complete the first Binding Quest. 7 8

Personality

Andres is relentlessly ambitious and treats cultivation as the foundation of security and influence. Learning that he had arrived early in the world's history, he immediately set his sights on building enough power to contend for future Sovereign Sparks. 2 3

He is methodical rather than impulsive. He evaluates enemies' talents and hidden strengths, avoids exposing his full power without reason, and invests in defenses, intelligence networks, Godheads, and subordinates before major conflicts. 17 146 158

Although he can be a patient mentor—particularly with Teresa and Bowen—his alliances are ultimately pragmatic. He remains wary of Inori's ambitions, refuses to submit to the Four Divine Beasts, and kills or subdues threats once negotiation no longer serves his objectives. 7 53 139 180 186

Abilities & Skills

Binding System

Andres can bind with sufficiently gifted targets and receive rewards by fulfilling quests shaped by their deepest desires. His rewards include cultivation talents, divine abilities, and other exceptional traits. 1 136

• Binding targets must meet the system's talent threshold. 1
• He prioritizes targets early in their cultivation, when their quests are easier to complete. 7
• Teresa's quests granted him wind-element talent, while later quests yielded powers such as Spatial Confinement, Dragon's Roar, and the Brahma race's ability. 8 138 186 191

Wind Elemental Law and Swordsmanship

Wind is Andres's strongest path. He cultivates speed, dimensional techniques, and the fusion of Wind Law Profound Mysteries, eventually attaining Wind Elemental Grand Perfection. 53 137 218

• Comprehended Momentum, Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, and the Profundity of Swiftness during his mortal cultivation. 10 17 53
• Uses Dimension Slash and wind-enhanced sword attacks capable of tearing space. 188
• His Grand Perfection gives him an additional portion of Will Power and a Sovereign Artifact-level body. 218

Multi-Law Cultivation and Fused Divine Power

Andres cultivates Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, deliberately choosing external godhood so he could maintain multiple divine clones. 94 137

• His Windfire Sword combines Wind and Fire Divine Power into purple Fused Divine Power. 123
• Cross-element Profound Mystery fusion produces substantially greater gains than same-law fusion, though it is far more difficult. 121 135

• Tiger Roar — Instantly killed Teresa and other Lord-level opponents. 174 186 206

Soul Splitting

After completing Orenth's Binding Quest, Andres obtained the Brahma race's innate ability, Soul Splitting. 186

• Can divide his personality and soul aura into separate identities.
• Can distribute his five bodies between those identities.
• Used it to conceal his Fire God Clone's connection to himself before the Sovereign Spark struggle. 186 200

Hearts and Sovereign Power

Andres uses rare elemental Hearts to accelerate cultivation and elevate his combat strength.

• Heart of Storms — Bound with his blood; dramatically improves his Wind Elemental Law perception. 181
• Heart of the Netherworld — Acquired after killing Teresa; enhances his material attacks to the level of an ordinary Paragon Highgod when combined with Fused Divine Power. 186 188
