Background and History

In public history, King Mu was Mu Kingdom's most exceptional prodigy. He led his generation through the Dice of the Gods, received a bloodline crystal, and became a Saint Tier Overlord less than a year later. Despite being considered the person most likely to become a Supreme, he remained an Overlord for more than twenty years and withdrew from public prominence. 135 234

The King Mu who later ruled Mu Kingdom was a Nian Race vice-general whose remnant consciousness became connected to a purple bloodline crystal. After the human king absorbed that crystal, the Nian consciousness took over his body. Zhao Yuanyi's later investigation found behavioral discrepancies between the young and middle-aged king, including a shift from left-handed to right-handed writing. 286 288 298 330

After becoming an Overlord, he discovered an entrance to the mysterious inheritance in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. He acquired Puzzle Piece Number Three from an external inheritance and used it to open a second inheritance treasury, obtaining the golden bloodline crystal containing the incomplete Divine Grace of Evolution. 320 329

Unable to absorb the golden crystal himself, he tested other candidates until Princess Zhuzhi succeeded. He subsequently favored and cultivated her, while secretly preparing to possess her once she reached Saint Tier Overlord. Suze later deduced that parasitic soul eggs had been planted in both Zhuzhi and Zhao Lingxiao as part of this plan. 152 289

Zhao Yuanyi's investigation into King Mu's anomalies and the Pebble Prison warden's death brought him too close to the truth. His diary ultimately directed Suze toward King Mu and indicated that the king had retained the remaining bloodline crystals as bait. 264 286 287

When Suze and Brother Ya infiltrated Muyun Palace, King Mu revealed the golden bloodline crystal and attempted to activate the parasitic soul egg implanted in Suze. Suze used clones and Self-Destruct Seeds to destroy King Mu's human body and the royal palace. The recovered remains yielded both the purple and golden bloodline crystals, King Mu's storage ring, and an inheritance puzzle piece. 287 288 289

King Mu's consciousness later resurfaced within the remnant soul of a Nian Race Sun God contained in the Soul Nurturing Jade Stone. Unable to fully devour the stronger consciousness, he merged with it and bargained with Suze for a replacement body, protection, and consciousness-strengthening materials in exchange for intelligence about the Nian Race, the Dice of the Gods, and the mysterious inheritance. 298 299 320

Suze eventually helped suppress and eliminate the Sun God's consciousness. King Mu then took control of the dead Tier 9 Dark Blood Giant Beast, becoming a Tier 9 combatant used as a sparring beast in Ze Star's training grounds. 395 406 407 467

Appearance

While ruling Mu Kingdom in a human body, King Mu appeared as a rugged middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and white streaks at his temples. He generally presented himself as a secluded monarch, spending much of the previous decade in Muyun Palace. 287

• Young King Mu wrote with his left hand; the possessed king wrote with his right, a detail Zhao Yuanyi used to expose the replacement. 286
• In combat, he condensed light into a greatsword. 287
• His current vessel is a Tier 9 Dark Blood Giant Beast; no further physical description is provided. 407 467

Personality

King Mu is calculating, patient, and strongly motivated by survival. As ruler of Mu Kingdom, he concealed his identity, retained bloodline crystals for future use, and treated even Princess Zhuzhi as a potential replacement vessel rather than solely as a daughter. 286 289

He initially behaved with confidence and arrogance, underestimating Suze during their confrontation. Once reduced to a disembodied consciousness threatened by the Sun God's awakening, he became markedly more cooperative and attempted to make his knowledge indispensable to Suze. 287 298 394

His cooperation remains self-serving. He repeatedly bargains for soul-restoring materials, a stronger body, and continued relevance, but his knowledge of Nian Race affairs makes him valuable despite Suze's distrust. 299 301 395

Abilities & Skills

Soul Possession and Parasitic Soul Eggs

King Mu's primary method is Nian Race soul parasitism.

• Took over the original King Mu's human identity after becoming linked to the purple bloodline crystal. 288 320
• Implanted a parasitic soul egg in Suze's soul and is believed to have used the same method on Princess Zhuzhi and Zhao Lingxiao. 287 289
• Nian Race consciousness is difficult to erase, allowing him to survive the destruction of his human host. 298
• Cannot break the seal on the Soul Nurturing Jade Stone while only a weakened consciousness. 371

Saint Tier Combat

While inhabiting King Mu's original body, he possessed veteran Saint Tier Overlord combat ability.

• Moved fast enough to evade Brother Ya's attempt to seize the golden bloodline crystal. 287
• Condensed light into a greatsword for close-quarters combat. 287
• Was still pressured by Brother Ya's shovel assault and ultimately defeated through Suze's clone-based strategy and Self-Destruct Seeds. 287 288

Nian Race Knowledge

King Mu serves as a source of intelligence on extraterrestrial evolution and Nian Race operations.

• Explained that the Dice of the Gods is a Nian Race resurrection mechanism used to select suitable bodies for fallen generals. 298
• Identified the God Tier hierarchy: Star God for seven evolutions, Moon God for eight, and Sun God for nine. 298
• Provided information on bloodline-crystal tiers, Godly Skill fusion, predatory evolution, and the mysterious inheritance. 300 320 330
• His knowledge is incomplete; Suze concludes that King Mu lacks understanding of several subjects and may have been a poor student within his own race. 323

Tier 9 Dark Blood Giant Beast Vessel

After receiving Suze's assistance, King Mu gained a new physical vessel.

• Controls the dead Tier 9 Dark Blood Giant Beast with a Sun God-tier soul. 407
• Retains combat strength comparable to the Tier 9 beast after the Nian Race's destruction. 467
• Serves as a sparring opponent for Ze Star's powerhouses. 467

Relationships

• Suze — Intended possession target and later captor. King Mu tried to use Suze's completed Divine Grace of Evolution and human identity to access the core inheritance; after his defeat, he became Suze's coerced informant. 289 298 320
• Brother Ya — Assisted Suze in infiltrating Muyun Palace and fought King Mu directly during the palace confrontation. 287
• Princess Zhuzhi — Publicly his beloved youngest daughter and successor candidate; Suze deduced that King Mu cultivated her as a future vessel after she absorbed the golden bloodline crystal. 1 289

• Zhao Yuanyi — Investigated King Mu's identity and accumulated evidence of his possession before being silenced. 264 286
