Background
Xi Shenlian was abandoned near a temple west of an orphanage and named by the orphanage director, who found him “like a delicate jade carving.” His name was chosen for its association with the western temple and his pitiful circumstances. 2
During childhood, he experienced hallucinations, heard nonexistent sounds, and occasionally spoke in phrases others could not understand. These episodes caused others to regard him as mentally unstable; he developed an inferiority complex and refused adoption. 2
He was one of the few children treated kindly by Takeoka Seiichiro, whom he later visited at his grave. Xi Shenlian promised to look after Takeoka’s family in some fashion, reflecting the loyalty he reserves for the very small number of people he considers his own. 34 35
At eighteen, Xi Shenlian awakened as an Awakened and received the Life Winner System—Luxury Supreme Custom Edition. His awakening cured the mental issues he associated with his childhood and initiated rapid physical evolution. 4 20 35
Appearance
Xi Shenlian’s awakening transformed him from a handsome but unusual youth into an increasingly inhumanly perfect lifeform. His appearance continues to become more ethereal as his strength rises. 21 539
- Perfectly proportioned, fair-skinned physique with flawless, dense musculature. 21
- Measured 185 cm tall and 210 jin after his early evolution; despite his weight, he appeared lean because of his abnormal body density. 21
- Deep purple hair and matching purple eyes. 21
- Narrow vertical pupils that give him a field of vision beyond normal human limits. 21
- His presence and beauty can evoke instinctive awe even in nonhuman beings with entirely different aesthetic standards. 681
- Commonly suppresses the more oppressive or seductive effects of his evolved nature to avoid disrupting daily life. 367 539
Personality
Xi Shenlian is radically self-centered. He considers his own will the only legitimate basis for action and rejects any superior’s authority over him. He is indifferent to conventional morality, nationality, and the welfare of strangers, but intensely protective of the few people he recognizes as close to him. 92 152 365 889
His confidence is not presented as aspiration but certainty: he views standing at the top of the food chain as his natural place. This certainty makes him calm even before powerful Awakened, while his lack of concern for most matters leaves him unusually difficult to provoke. 95 262
Despite his arrogance and frequent lechery, he is often lazy rather than actively malicious. He prefers an easy, entertaining life, avoids responsibility when possible, and suppresses much of his overwhelming power so that life retains some novelty. 107 343 458 788
Xi Shenlian is direct to the point of impropriety, openly judges others by appearance, and often treats dangerous situations as entertainment. He nevertheless shows patience toward his companions, empowering them gradually rather than forcing their growth. 106 343 473

Divine Visage
A suppressed ability that emerged by the Self Stage. When intentionally revealed, Xi Shenlian’s presence can overwhelm an observer’s mind. 367
- Can induce fear, reverence, charm, or worship in anyone who sees him, including through images or video. 367
- Can alter personalities or erase consciousness if used without restraint. 367
- Normally remains suppressed so that he can interact with others normally. 367
