Background & History

Medusa ruled the Snake People Empire as its feared empress. Her subjects, including Yue Mei, prostrated themselves upon her arrival. While in the empire, she sensed the violent heat of the Green Lotus Core Flame from the direction of the Jia Ma Empire and immediately pursued it. Her goal was not simply to obtain a treasure: she sought a Heavenly Flame to reverse her bloodline, reach the Dou Ancestor realm, and secure a future beyond the Tagor Desert for her people. 91 94 95

At the magma sea, Medusa encountered Qing Lin and recognized both Snake People bloodline within her and Qing Lin's bond with the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake. She attempted to compel Qing Lin to lead her to the Heavenly Flame, even offering to remove Qing Lin's mixed bloodline, but Qing Lin refused. Medusa then detected a familiar Snake People aura beneath the magma and descended to investigate. 92

She found Gu Fang after he had already absorbed the Green Lotus Core Flame. Their conflict escalated when Gu Fang refused to surrender it. Though the magma environment weakened her cold-natured bloodline, she pressed the attack and began forcefully awakening her ancient bloodline. Gu Fang's Buddha's Rage Fire Lotus—and the risk that its detonation could devastate the Snake People—ultimately made her reconsider. 93 94 95

Medusa accepted Gu Fang's proposal to use the Bone Spirit Cold Flame for her evolution at the Snake People's holy city. In exchange, she agreed to guard him for one year after her breakthrough, though she initially viewed the agreement as enforceable only while he could threaten her. 96 97

Before returning to the holy city, Medusa traced stolen ancient Snake People bloodline to a hidden cave. There, she rescued hundreds of captive clansmen who had been used as blood sacrifices, stabilized unstable Snake People bloodline in victims, and apologized to her people for arriving late. The incident strengthened her resolve to seek Gu Fang's help and become strong enough to protect her race. 101 102 103

At the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, Medusa took her giant serpent form and endured the Bone Spirit Cold Flame's trial. She emerged as a Dou Ancestor, gaining a human body with legs and the form of a small seven-colored snake. However, the evolution initially left her soul entangled with the newly born Sky Swallowing Python soul, causing periods of childlike behavior and preventing her from fully using her new strength. 105 106 107

Gu Fang later refined the Spirit Fusion Pill for her. After consuming it, Medusa perfectly integrated her soul with the Sky Swallowing Python's body and nascent soul, preserving the ancient beast's innate abilities rather than losing them through gradual assimilation. She openly expressed gratitude to Gu Fang for the first time. 118 120 122 123

Appearance

Medusa is portrayed as exceptionally beautiful and alluring, with a regal, cold presence befitting the Snake People's queen. Before her evolution, she has a human upper body and a purple snake tail; afterward, she can shift among a human form, a small seven-colored snake, and a massive seven-colored serpent. 93 105 107 112

• Often wears purple brocade or official robes. 91 123
• Originally possesses a purple snake tail and purple scales. 93 94
• Her evolved serpent form has brilliant seven-colored scales and diamond-shaped pupils. 107 112
• Her evolved human form has slender human legs, though she is initially unfamiliar with using them. 105
• Her body is naturally cool due to the Snake People's yin-and-cold bloodline. 105

Personality

Medusa is proud, domineering, and intensely self-reliant. She initially rejects negotiation with Gu Fang, insisting that she will take whatever she desires by force. Even after agreeing to his conditions, she privately considers abandoning their agreement if his strength no longer compels her to honor it. 95 97

Her ruthlessness is closely tied to her responsibility as queen. She is willing to intimidate, torture, and kill enemies who endanger her people, but her actions are restrained when the Snake People Empire itself may suffer. She slows her bloodline awakening rather than risk the destruction of her tribe, and later personally apologizes to captured Snake People for failing to protect them. 95 102 103

Medusa's evolution exposes a more vulnerable side. While her original soul sleeps, her newborn soul seeks Gu Fang's closeness and food; after regaining control, she reacts with embarrassment and hostility. Her eventual gratitude following the Spirit Fusion shows a marked increase in trust toward Gu Fang. 105 106 123

Abilities & Skills

Ancient Snake People Bloodline

Medusa possesses an ancient Snake People bloodline and can awaken its Ancestral Vein Power to force her strength beyond the Peak Dou Huang realm.

• Temporarily raises her power to the Dou Ancestor level. 94
• Her bloodline is diluted, making the forced enhancement costly; fully activating it would leave her weak for about half a year. 94
• Her yin-and-cold bloodline is poorly suited to the scorching magma environment, where her strength is reduced by roughly one-third. 94
• The Bone Spirit Cold Flame is more compatible with her bloodline than the Green Lotus Core Flame. 96

Snake People Bloodline Authority

As the Snake People's queen, Medusa can sense, control, and stabilize Snake People bloodline.

• Detects Snake People bloodline within Qing Lin, the One-Eyed Dou Wang, and other victims. 92 101
• Controls the stolen ancient bloodline within the One-Eyed Dou Wang during her interrogation. 102
• Stabilizes incompatible Snake People bloodline in Chen Wanzhen and the members of the Enchanting Snake Demon Group. 103
• Uses a unique Snake People sound-wave method to summon and communicate with her subjects. 103

Sky Swallowing Python Evolution

Medusa evolves through the Sky Swallowing Python's body, gaining transformations and an initially unstable dual-soul state.

• Can transform into a small seven-colored snake, a giant seven-colored serpent, or a human-like body. 105 106 112
• Her initial transformation creates a newborn soul, while her own soul falls into deep sleep. 106
• Her soul initially cannot fully control the Sky Swallowing Python body, limiting her ability to exert full Dou Ancestor strength. 107 118
• The Spirit Fusion Pill fuses her soul with the Sky Swallowing Python's nascent soul, preserving the beast's innate talents. 122 123

Dou Ancestor Combat Power

After completing Spirit Fusion, Medusa can fully exercise the power of a Dou Ancestor and manipulate space.

• Captures a temporary Dou Emperor-level opponent effortlessly. 101
• Easily defeats and repeatedly overwhelms White Fang, a six-star Dou Huang Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor. 112
• Deflects and counters Yun Yun's Extreme Wind: Meteor Kill, severely injuring the Misty Cloud Sect Master. 136
• States that she can contend with stronger Dou Ancestors and intercept two early-stage Dou Ancestors. 123
• Her breakthrough alone causes neighboring empires to seek appeasement of the Snake People Empire. 108

Equipment / Items

• Queen's Heart Scale — A colorful scale Medusa gives Gu Fang. It grants him safe passage among the Snake People and enables Medusa to track his location. 102 104
• Spirit Fusion Pill — Sixth-grade pill refined by Gu Fang and consumed by Medusa to fully merge her soul with the Sky Swallowing Python. 120 122

Relationships

• Gu Fang — Initially an adversary competing for the Green Lotus Core Flame. They form a transactional alliance: Gu Fang aids her evolution and soul fusion, while Medusa agrees to protect him for one year. Her attitude gradually shifts from hostility and mistrust to gratitude. 93 96 115 123
• Snake People Empire — Her kingdom and foremost responsibility. Medusa seeks power primarily to protect the Snake People and secure their future beyond the desert. 95 103
• Qing Lin — Medusa initially threatens her for access to the magma sea, but does not kill her after sensing her Snake People bloodline. Following her agreement with Gu Fang, Qing Lin is regarded as a partner rather than a target. 92 102
• Hua She'er — Captain of the Medusa Snake Guard. Hua She'er celebrates Medusa's successful evolution and views her breakthrough as the beginning of a new era for the Snake People. 104 107
• Yue Mei — Snake People border chieftain who shows unquestioning deference to Medusa's authority. 91 104
• Sky Swallowing Python — Its body and nascent soul become inseparably fused with Medusa through the Spirit Fusion Pill, granting her retained innate abilities and a new soul-body state. 106 122 123
• Chen Wanzhen — A human with unstable Snake People bloodline whom Medusa spares and treats by stabilizing the bloodline within her body. 103
• White Fang — Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor whom Medusa decisively defeats after he speaks disrespectfully toward her. 112 113
• Yun Yun — Misty Cloud Sect Master. Medusa overwhelms her when Yun Yun attacks Gu Fang in the Life and Death Realm. 136
