Background / History
In the era before the Dark Era, Ni Jiu was a Heavenly Golden Suanni who attained the Great Emperor Realm. He spread his bloodline throughout the Northern Region, leaving descendants that eventually formed the Golden Suanni, Golden Lion, and Sun-Devouring Cloud Lion lineages of the Golden Sun Realm. His coercive pursuit of offspring also earned him widespread hostility among the Demon Race. 55 57 100
Ni Jiu encountered the Black Ancient Scripture while propagating his race in a Demon Race Dao Domain. The scripture corrupted the domain's inhabitants into strange creatures and affected Ni Jiu himself. To contain the disaster, he sealed the area with a great divine technique; over time, the sealed world became the Crimson Meteor Burial Ground. 57
Reduced to a remnant soul, Ni Jiu secretly attached himself to Xuan Ning. Su Chenxiao discovered him and threatened to feed him to the Death Soul Beast. Faced with annihilation, Ni Jiu offered his Demon Realm connections and inheritance, then accepted Su Chenxiao's demand to become his mount. 55
After swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath, Ni Jiu was placed under absolute control through the Mother-Child Beast Taming Ring and entered Su Chenxiao's Sea of Consciousness. The Su Clan later reconstructed his divine soul and physical body, restoring him as a Heavenly Golden Suanni. 56 64 65
Appearance
Ni Jiu ordinarily takes the form of an enormous Heavenly Golden Suanni, radiating crimson-gold divine light and overwhelming demonic energy. He can also assume a human form, depicted with golden hair and a powerful, burly build. 65 156 165
- His true form is a colossal, fierce, and majestic golden divine beast whose roar can shake the surroundings. 65
- His eyes are crimson-gold in beast form and golden in human form. 101 107
- He bears the blazing Heavenly Golden Divine Flame beneath his feet. 142
- During the confrontation at the Dragon's Nest, he is described in human form as a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the True Dragon Clan. 244
Personality
Ni Jiu initially carries himself with the arrogance of a former Great Emperor, demanding that Su Chenxiao kneel before him despite being only a remnant soul. The Death Soul Beast quickly breaks this confidence; Ni Jiu becomes openly terrified of extinction and pragmatically accepts servitude rather than allow his bloodline to end. 55 56
He remains proud of his divine-beast heritage and expects reverence from his descendants. When Tu Zhen attacks him and disparages his binding ring, Ni Jiu punishes him with a roar and orders all gathered Golden Sun Realm demons to kneel. 107 108
Despite this pride, Ni Jiu becomes increasingly content with life under the Su Clan's protection. He prefers the security and resources of the Imperial Clan Su Family to returning as a symbolic ancestor whose descendants chiefly covet his Suanni Treasure Technique. 76 109 239

- He manifests golden demonic energy into a ferocious Suanni phantom. 168
- A single use nearly shatters Shen Liyun's physical body despite her attempt to neutralize it with devouring power. 168
- His descendants consider the technique more valuable than merely having him return as a bloodline ancestor. 109

- As a remnant soul, he concealed himself within Xuan Ning and later entered Su Chenxiao's Sea of Consciousness. 55 56
- He can transform between his human form and Heavenly Golden Suanni true form. 101 156
- He was capable of possession attempts before being subdued by Su Chenxiao. 55 56

- Zi Yao — Demon Emperor's son and descendant who kneels before Ni Jiu and attempts to negotiate his return to the Golden Sun Realm. 107 108
