Background / History

Xu Muchi accidentally transmigrated to the current world roughly three thousand years before the main story. Her system allowed her to cultivate and granted her immortality, but it was erased after several years by an unknown entity. Unable to progress for a millennium and forced to watch everyone she knew grow old and die, she became deeply weary of her immortal existence. 7 8

She wishes to return to her original world. Her system had told her that time passed differently there: a thousand years in her current world would be only a fleeting moment at home. The emergence of Honkai and Herrschers gives her hope that she may find a way back—or at minimum let her original family know she still exists. 8

Over her long life, Xu Muchi became one of the founders and a senior authority within Huaguo’s Ability Department, though she usually leaves its day-to-day administration to Qin Hong'an. 13

Appearance

Xu Muchi is a poised woman with long, snow-white hair and a strikingly composed presence. She is first seen suspended in the air ahead of military transport planes, dressed in bamboo green and holding a slender silver sword. 7

• Long snow-white hair that moves in the wind. 7 26
• Usually wears an elegant long dress, including bamboo-green and cloud-white garments. 7 27
• Wields a silver longsword. 7 40
• Her movements in combat are described as graceful, light, and snowflake-like. 40

Personality

Xu Muchi is calm, observant, and decisive under pressure. She accepts responsibility for missions she authorizes, including entrusting Gu Yan with the Bohai Sea operation and ordering local forces to cooperate with him. 22

Though detached from routine administration, she cares strongly for Huaguo after witnessing its rise and fall across centuries. She promotes ancient martial arts among Ability Users because she believes the country needs more viable paths to strengthen its defenders against future Honkai disasters. 39

Her treatment of Gu Yan is unusually attentive. She protects the confidentiality of his abilities, arranges his recruitment into the Ability Department, and offers guidance without trying to control his development, believing he may be the “Child of Destiny.” 11 14
