Background
Li Qing relocated near Ning Guochang’s sterile workshop to watch a microscopic civilization evolve while investigating the changes in his own body. He initially struggled with the psychological pressure of perceiving humans as microorganism-covered organisms and pursued the ideal of a sterile, independent body. His altered genes and aura made ordinary women instinctively drawn to him, an attention he found unsettling rather than flattering. 6
His early biological experiments were ambitious but limited by technique. While attempting to enlarge life templates into finger-sized dragons, he repeatedly encountered structural collapse as increasing cell counts destabilized the body plan. These failures pushed him toward studying biological blueprints, cell architecture, and increasingly sophisticated life creation. 12
As his laboratory civilization matured, Li Qing transitioned from observer to ruler. He supported the Church of Light, shaped its beliefs through consciousness waves, altered its environment with soil and sand, and personally crowned Herodotus as its emperor. 15 29
Appearance
Li Qing’s appearance changes substantially as his body evolves. At the completion of his second metamorphosis, he becomes visibly inhuman: over 2.2 meters tall and more than 250 kilograms, yet proportioned with a sleek, almost flawless physique. He can alter his pupils and compress his body to approximate a normal human appearance. 72 134
- Thick black hair extending over his shoulders. 72
- Fair, poreless skin described as smooth as silicone. 72
- Brilliant gem-like eyes that refract light by day and can glow at night. 72
- A body with little visible musculature despite enough strength to lift over 250 kilograms with one hand. 72
- Uses large black-rimmed glasses to make his appearance less conspicuous. 72
- Can adopt racial and gendered disguises, including a headless knight, a purple-haired Elf Ancient God, and a female identity used while teaching civilizations. 223 446 536
Personality
Li Qing is driven foremost by curiosity. He enjoys experimenting with biological systems, Divine Techniques, civilization models, weapons, medicine, and cosmic laws; the satisfaction of pioneering a new system repeatedly motivates him more than direct political authority. 43 670
He is cautious when confronting unknown powers and prefers to develop behind layers of proxies, vassals, civilizations, and false identities. He avoids risks he considers unnecessary, but adapts quickly when pressured, treating a dangerous conflict as an opportunity to test abilities or acquire knowledge. 263 548 880
His pragmatism often becomes manipulation. Li Qing treats weaker civilizations, rivals, and even allies as sources of talent, blueprints, labor, or leverage; he exploits Black Star, coerces the Black Star Empire, and later attempts to infiltrate Luo Qing’s network through impersonation. 286 338 880
Despite this, he is capable of attachment and generosity. He sends the Atabian Graveyard to alleviate Minis’s isolation, grants Aurora a Creator God awakening, resurrects Elise by altering history, and lets Atabia retain a valuable Universe territory to strengthen himself. 70 393 563 835
Abilities & Skills
Biological Creation and Self-Modification
Li Qing treats genes, cells, and biological blueprints as programmable building materials. He creates new races, modifies his own body, and develops living constructs for research, labor, or combat.
- Created an Elf lifeform with a wooden skeletal core, regenerative flesh, paralytic toxin, and defensive pollen. 39
- Creates and improves races by integrating genetic “Martial Arts Essences” into inherited cultivation systems. 142
- Can grow living bodies or objects from his hair and blood after studying their structures. 292 311
- Initially struggled to scale biological templates: enlarging a structure without sufficient internal support caused it to collapse. 12
Microscope Eyes and Consciousness Waves
Li Qing’s original supernatural sense lets him perceive microscopic life and later develops into a broader sensory and spiritual toolkit.
- Can consciously activate and deactivate his eye ability after his second metamorphosis. 68
- Senses nearby waves and projects his soul outside his body. 68
- His soul retains the eyes’ [Awakening] function after leaving his body. 68
- Reads the leaked consciousness waves of insufficiently disciplined opponents. 285
- Uses far-reaching observation networks, described as omnipresent Heavenly Eyes across worlds. 880
Vassal System
Li Qing can establish control over specially prepared vassals and use them as extensions of his power, intelligence, and infrastructure.
- Uses vassals to guide civilizations, maintain worlds, and execute long-term instructions. 534
- Can observe a vassal’s thoughts, as demonstrated with Min Shan. 600
- Can forcibly exploit a vassal backdoor in battle, though he avoids doing so unless necessary because it amounts to “flipping the table.” 263
- Acquired vassals are difficult to obtain: the imprint is most reliable when applied before consciousness forms, while talented adults rarely submit voluntarily. 880
- Brands newly born Luo Qing brain cells before their consciousness develops, allowing him to seize control of their collective form. 905
Transformation and Fabrication
Li Qing can change his body into different forms and reproduce technological or biological designs after studying them.
- Uses racial pictograms to transform into a Head-Dropper and experience its physical perspective firsthand. 223
- Infiltrates heavily guarded locations without being detected. 282
- Creates a massive Judgment-level Gravitational Wave Dagger from his own hair while pretending to operate a conventional factory. 311
- Studies Dark Matter weapon structures and copies their blueprints into his own Magic Treasure system. 543
Life, Time, and Creation Authorities
Li Qing gradually accumulates Authorities and blueprints, combining biological creation with temporal manipulation and matter creation.
- Life Creator — edits life as a first-generation Creator God. 579
- War Siphon — devours enemies to permanently raise Combat Aptitude, subject to an incomplete cap. 579
- Wisdom Return — devours enemies to permanently raise Wisdom Aptitude, also subject to a cap. 579
- Prologue of Time — opens a [Past] timeline map and can alter the past to change the present. 579
- Creation Furnace — permits matter and life creation or manipulation within the Present World. 814
- Time travel is limited: Li Qing cannot allow two versions of himself to coexist at the same point in time without creating a severe paradox. 534
Combat and Survival
Li Qing supplements direct combat with preparation, authority access, adaptive techniques, and battlefield control.
- Combines the Heavenly Dao blessings of two worlds to learn martial techniques and create First Ring True Gods. 292
- Can tailor counters to opponents by studying their movements, techniques, and internal power structure. 322
- Switches realms inside his Universe to evade lethal attacks, making him effectively unkillable there. 493
- Uses strategic self-sacrifice through alternate versions to mislead enemies and influence Luo Qing’s belief that they are parallel selves. 884 885
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Ultraviolet instrument — obtained through a friend to examine the test-tube world on his neck. 6
- High-definition cameras — purchased to monitor the civilization inside the glass barrier. 15
- Black-rimmed glasses — worn to reduce the conspicuousness of his transformed eyes. 72
- Judgment-level Gravitational Wave Dagger — a three-hundred-kilometer “short dagger” whose blueprint Li Qing absorbs and whose physical form he grows from hair. 311
- Magic Treasures and Divine Artifacts — Li Qing champions equipment-heavy combat, aiming to stack weapons, armor, accessories, gems, and other enhancements rather than rely on bare-handed strength. 311
- Dark Matter weapons — copied from technological civilizations for incorporation into his own Magic Treasure systems. 543
Relationships
- Susannie — Neighbor, fitness partner, and practical contact. She becomes Li Qing’s coach and friend, though their relationship remains platonic; she later moves away with Li Wanning and Sylvie. 12 72 84
- Li Wanning — Susannie’s terminally ill girlfriend. Her cancer initially motivates Li Qing’s interest in developing medical technology. 29 72
- Herodotus — First emperor of the Church of Light, personally crowned by Li Qing and supported through Divine Oracles. 29 43
- Minis — Elven God King whose isolation moves Li Qing to send the Graveyard of the seventeen trillion Atabians into the Elf World as companionship. 70
- Elise — Former walking presence of the Thunder God and recurring pawn, rival, and beneficiary of Li Qing’s plans. He later resurrects her through altered history and grants her Life Authorities, while she secretly seeks to surpass him. 82 563 814
- Sylvie — Longtime companion, guard, and administrator. Li Qing instructs her to observe dangerous worlds carefully and later accepts her and Sylph as Queen Mothers of the West. 233 779
- Black Star — Research talent and former resource conduit. Li Qing exploits Black Star’s blueprints and later discards him after obtaining what he needs. 307 338
- Aurora — Elise’s daughter. Li Qing fulfills a promise to return, grants Aurora a direct Creator God awakening, and publicly names her the world’s most beautiful woman. 393
- Atabia — Strategic ally and fellow researcher. Li Qing later gives Atabia control of a Spirit Matter-modified Universe territory to strengthen him against Elise. 835
- Luo Qing — Complete Talent rival. Li Qing captures, studies, impersonates, consumes, and ultimately brands Luo Qing-derived brain cells to seize their collective potential. 880 882 905
Story Role / Major Arcs
Workshop and Cellular Civilization
Li Qing begins as a researcher observing a microscopic civilization near a sterile workshop. He studies his own evolving body, creates early biological lifeforms, and builds a divine identity around the civilization’s perception of him. 6 12 29
Sandbox Worlds and Divine Rule
He expands from a single laboratory world into multiple experimental civilizations. Li Qing creates races, establishes religions and rulers, tests Divine Techniques, and watches eras rise from behind glass windows, paintings, Crystal Walls, and other observation layers. 40 43 248
Martial Arts and Technological Development
Li Qing pushes the Martial Arts Continent and later technological civilizations toward higher levels. He develops Martial Arts Essences, Magic Treasures, spiritual medicines, mecha blueprints, Dark Matter weapons, and mass-production systems rather than relying solely on traditional cultivation. 142 311 543 563
Time Manipulation and Authority Accumulation
After acquiring Time Authority, Li Qing travels into the past to cultivate civilizations, create Extraordinary beings, guide the Trade Ancient City’s founding, and alter Elise’s fate. These interventions steadily expand his access to Life, Time, Matter, and Creation-based systems. 534 536 563 579 814
Multiverse Complete Talent Conflict
Li Qing deliberately spreads his own name as a trap, creating the “Li Qing Heavenly Pride Ranking” and causing powerful young cultivators to be mistaken for a legendary all-round prodigy. This campaign exposes Luo Qing, whom Li Qing seeks to manipulate, imitate, and exploit for Complete Talent aptitude. 874 880
The Omnipotent Brain
When Luo Qing’s parallel selves choose repeated death and rebirth to form a unified brain capable of bypassing the Saint Lock, Li Qing secretly brands the newborn cells before their consciousness stabilizes. He then claims the resulting aggregate entity as his third ultimate Complete Talent form. 905
