Background

Gu Xi initially relies on Heavenly Dao protection and Heavenly Punishment to survive confrontations far beyond his apparent cultivation. On Buzhou Mountain, he provokes Golden Immortal-level Gods and Demons into attacking him, causing Heavenly Punishment to kill them and leaving their Magic Treasures behind. These incidents earn him the feared title God of Misfortune. 3 4

After Nuwa creates the Human Race and becomes a Saint, Gu Xi receives 20% of the Merit of Creating Humans and becomes the Human Race’s Holy Father. He then guides the newborn humans across the wildernesses, teaching hunting, gathering, medicine, fire use, weaving, and house-building. 8 12

Gu Xi establishes several systems that reshape the Primordial Era: the Four Seasons and Twenty-Four Solar Terms, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Martial Way, the Earth Immortal path, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. These achievements repeatedly bring vast Merit, Divine Positions, and authority over fundamental aspects of the world. 13 40 80 120 169

He later develops the Human Dao Sacred Court into a vast organization spanning Sky, Earth, and Nether God Systems. Its forces include Human Race cultivators, Star Gods, Four Seas Gods and Demons, Ghosts and Deities, and ancient powers such as Beast Emperor Shen Ni and Ancestor Yin Yang. 56 79 102 234

Following his physical-body Dao achievement, Gu Xi confronts the Six Sages with the incomplete Myriad Dao Dharma Body, temporarily gaining the upper hand against several Saints. He continues to expand the Human Race’s independent foundations through the Human Emperor Realm, the Three Sovereigns system, and cultivation systems that can be spread beyond the Primordial World. 235 249

Gu Xi later comprehends the Primordial Five Virtues and Primordial Five Destinies Great Daos, manifesting ten Great Dao phantoms. As Dao Ancestor Hongjun gathers Human Race Fortune for his own advancement and the threat of beings Above the Heavens becomes clear, Gu Xi shifts toward a long-term strategy of cultivating Saint-level allies and strengthening the Human Dao across myriad worlds. 336 373 382

In the Perfect World, Gu Xi treats Little Stone as both a disciple and a prospective spokesperson for the Human Dao. He deliberately arranges increasingly severe Dark Being trials to temper Little Stone’s character and prepare him for a future beyond ordinary Sainthood. 368 476 479

Personality

Gu Xi is audacious, calculating, and highly confident. He regularly turns hostile encounters into opportunities for Merit, allies, Divine Positions, or Magic Treasures, including converting enemies through the Great Pervasion Art and extracting gifts from the Six Sages during their visit to the Netherworld. 14 61 173

Despite his opportunism, he consistently acts to strengthen the Human Race. He teaches mortals survival skills, creates a Martial Way suited to them after millions die in a battle’s aftermath, and establishes systems intended to secure humanity’s long-term independence and prosperity. 12 40 56 235

He is cautious about exposing his full strength, accumulating hidden trump cards and developing the Human Dao Sacred Court quietly. However, he is openly defiant when challenged, especially by figures who seek to exploit the Human Race or seize his Divine Positions. 132 148 156

Gu Xi combines long-term responsibility with an exacting approach to mentorship. Although he provides disciples and allies with extraordinary methods and treasures, he believes that protected talent still requires hardship, and deliberately uses dangerous trials to forge Little Stone into a capable successor. 368 476 479

“Don’t measure me by your standards. For me, nothing is impossible!” 148
