Background / History
Willow God was an Innate Being and an Immortal King Giant of the Immortal Ancient era. She was regarded as one of the Emperor Light Immortal Kings most likely to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm. Her original Willow God Method was powerful, but she later recognized that it would encounter a bottleneck at the Immortal Emperor realm without obtaining a further Sacrificial Dao breakthrough technique. 379 381 384
During the Immortal Ancient era, several Immortal Kings besieged her and left enduring Immortal King laws and Dao scars within her body. These injuries required her original cultivation method to maintain and made abandoning her foundation exceptionally dangerous. 380 384
By the time Gu Xi arrived at Stone Village, Willow God served as its ancestral sacrificial spirit and guardian. She immediately sensed terrifying power, endless Dao principles, and Chains of Order beyond Immortal King laws within him. Gu Xi also recognized her identity as the Ancestral Sacrificial Spirit, though he withheld his own origins. 338
Gu Xi later explained that the Perfect World's Heavenly Dao was only an incarnation of the main Primordial Heavenly Dao. He also identified Willow God as an Innate Being, making her suited to explore the Innate Merit Dao Method in addition to the paths he offered her. 381

She possesses the pride and determination of an Immortal King. Although reluctant to discard a foundation built across an era, she ultimately chooses to begin again so she can surpass her former limits, settle old grievances herself, and travel alongside Little Stone. 379 380 384
She dislikes public attention and becomes vexed when Gu Xi teases her. Despite her detached demeanor, she dotes on Little Stone and readily answers his requests for help. 372 384 418
After successfully rebuilding, she expresses sincere gratitude to Gu Xi for granting her a new path and another chance at life, while continuing to regard Little Stone with gentle indulgence. 385
