Background / History

Star Radiance served Queen Bai Li twenty years before Ning Xiaochuan's return to the Sacred Source Land. During Prince Dark Star's coup and the opening of the World Devourer portal, Bai Li sealed the disaster and ordered Star Radiance to send her five-year-old son, Ning Xiaochuan, to the distant Open Source Continent for safety. 32

As High Priest, he preserves the Sacred Origin Tribe's orally transmitted secrets. When Ning Xiaochuan returns, Star Radiance reveals his royal heritage, guides him through the Sacred Source Tower, and later explains that the Primal Dragon was forged as a weapon against the Void Master. He identifies the five Primal Fragments as pieces of the shattered Primal Crown. 32 47

During the World Devourers' assault on the Sacred Source Land, he coordinates civilian evacuation, combatant deployment, and the elders maintaining the tower-base seal. After the Sacred Source Tower collapses, he leads the search through its ruins and has Ning Xiaochuan, Su Linger, and the Sacred Spirit Dragon brought to the Sacred Source Spring for treatment. 43 44

Following Ning Xiaochuan's departure to investigate Qingyun City, Star Radiance provides the party with crystal amulets made from the Sacred Source Spring and takes responsibility for reconstructing and defending the Sacred Source Land. He also dispatches a search-and-rescue team to retrieve Ning Xiaochuan and Su Linger after the Shadowy Ancient Castle incident. 41 45

In the New Era, his mechanical augmentation allows him to analyze cross-world phenomena and support Bai Ling's harmonization efforts. He witnesses the Dance of Worlds, analyzes the Shadow Imprints' 99.9% energy-conversion efficiency, and assists in distributing the Cognitive Vaccine between worlds. 9 8

After Ning Xiaochuan and Su Linger become separated from Bai Ling, Star Radiance remains one of Bai Ling's principal guardians and advisors. He supports her rituals, helps organize the Five Powers needed to reinforce the Void Master's seal, and repeatedly directs the Sacred Source Land's defenses during sabotage attempts. 54 57 58 59 60

Later, he studies the Primal Dragon's records and helps create the Time Anchor. He recognizes that it is not merely a weapon, but a key for reinforcing the seal surrounding the Reapers' Land of Origin. 79
