Background

Before taking form, Di Jiang cultivated within the Pangu Blood Pool and refined the Chaos Bell, Innate Five Directions Banner, and Five Elements Spirit Pearls. He also deepened his comprehension of spacetime and Five Elements Laws. Detecting six developing Great Witch fetuses, he purified their incubation environment with the Earth Law. 4

He emerged from Pangu's purest essence blood in Pangu Divine Hall, making his physical origin closer to Pangu than the Three Pure Ones. He immediately claimed Mount Buzhou as his domain, expelled all outside beings—including Fuxi and Nuwa—and established the Five Elements Great Array to seal and defend the mountain. 5

At the Sea of Blood, Di Jiang collected malevolent energy for cultivation and encountered Minghe, whose origin from Pangu's impure blood gave the two a faint bloodline connection. After tempering his Primordial Spirit against malevolent energy, Di Jiang activated the nascent Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens and summoned a Pangu True Body phantom to resist Hongjun's saintly pressure. 10 13

He accelerated the birth of the Netherworld by integrating a drop of his Origin Blood Essence into it. The act stabilized and expanded the realm while making it an extension of himself, establishing Di Jiang as its undisputed master. 19

Appearance

Di Jiang takes the form of a handsome young Daoist. His appearance was deliberately adjusted to match the aesthetic standards of his past life. 5

• Long black hair that falls like a waterfall, with spatial ripples moving at its tips. 5
• A natural Daoist charm accompanied by surging Ancestral Witch vitality capable of shaking the void. 5
• Clear Primordial Spirit light that illuminates surrounding laws. 5
• Eyes described as containing vortices of time and space. 10
• His Pangu True Body is a colossal, muscular giant form carrying an ancient, wild aura. 198

Personality

Di Jiang is intensely proud of his Pangu lineage and refuses submission to stronger powers. Hongjun's ascension pressure nearly forced him to kneel, but Di Jiang chose to risk an incomplete Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens rather than yield. 13

He is territorial, decisive, and highly pragmatic. Upon his birth, he cleared Mount Buzhou of all outsiders; later, he suppressed the sentience of the Innate Gourd Vine rather than allow it to transform, prioritizing the mountain's security over the vine's autonomy. 5 21

Despite this severity, Di Jiang is protective of those he accepts as his own. He nurtures the six Great Witches, settles the Qilin Clan under Mount Buzhou's protection, provides his siblings with compatible Spiritual Treasures, and repeatedly aids disciples and subordinates with their cultivation. 23 38 46 247

His long-term planning is often manipulative and ruthless. He steered Candle Dragon toward founding a unified Demon Clan, coerced Nuwa through concern for Fuxi, killed Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi for the Book of Earth, and used Huangtian Shi's accomplishments to draw Human Race destiny toward himself. 33 54 67 172

Abilities & Skills

Pangu Bloodline and Ancestral Witch True Body

Di Jiang possesses Pangu's purest essence blood and three-tenths of Heaven-Opening Merit, marking him as the most legitimate inheritor of Pangu's physical legacy. 5 22

• His bloodline grants powerful vitality, affinity with the Primordial World, and a level of karmic protection that even Hongjun treats cautiously. 5 13 22
• He can ignite the Pangu bloodline to manifest the Pangu True Body through the Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens. 13
• The phantom initially weakened Hongjun's saintly pressure; later manifestations allowed Di Jiang to contend directly with Hongjun in Chaos. 13 129
• By combining the Three Treasures of Creation, he wields the Sky-Opening Divine Axe through the Pangu True Body. 198
• His axe techniques, including Suppress Heaven, Break Heaven, and Capture Heaven, shattered the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation and forced Hongjun to compromise. 199

Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens

Di Jiang's signature formation harnesses his Pangu bloodline, malevolent energy, and the origins of the Twelve Ancestral Witches to summon the Pangu True Body. 13

• Its nascent form sheltered Minghe from Hongjun's saintly pressure. 13
• Integrating the Yin-Yang Law stabilized its internal law circulation and strengthened the Pangu phantom. 44
• Its power is tied to Di Jiang's cultivation and was initially far beneath a complete Pangu True Body. 13

Earthly Dao and Underworld Authority

• Accepts the Earthly Dao's invitation to become its spokesperson and receives two streams of Primordial Violet Qi. 60
• Fully merges with the Earthly Dao, gaining immense power at the cost of becoming bound to the Primordial World's Earthly Dao. 196 197
• Can enfeoff Mountain Gods through the Book of Earth and enforce Underworld laws across protected territories. 135 138

Primordial Spirit Tempering

Di Jiang cultivated the Soul Tempering Chapter of the Sea of Blood God Refining Art for fifty Yuan Hui. 13

• His Primordial Spirit becomes steady against malevolent energy and can refine part of that energy for his own use. 13
• This tempering enables the first successful activation of the Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens. 13

Time Shuttle

The Time Shuttle evolved from fragments of the Time Wheel into an Innate Supreme Treasure. 128

• Can revolve time and inflict temporal erosion. 128
• Its temporal power can affect even Golden Immortals who have escaped the River of Time. 128

Story Role and Major Arcs

Birth and Claiming Mount Buzhou

Di Jiang forms in Pangu Divine Hall, claims Mount Buzhou as his private domain, drives out outsiders, and fortifies the mountain with the Five Elements Great Array. He also begins shaping Pangu Divine Hall into a residence modeled after palace architecture from his past life. 5 6

Sea of Blood and the Great Formation

Seeking malevolent energy for cultivation, Di Jiang reaches the Sea of Blood and establishes contact with Minghe. Hongjun's ascension forces Di Jiang to deploy the nascent Great Formation of the Myriad Heavens, proving that the Pangu True Body can resist saintly pressure. 10 13

Founding the Witch Clan and Underworld

After obtaining the Book of Earth and Qilin Seal, Di Jiang establishes the Witch Clan with himself as Clan Leader and uses the Chaos Bell to suppress its destiny. He then founds the Underworld, appoints its officials, and becomes the Earthly Dao's spokesperson. 59 60

Contest for Pangu Relics

Di Jiang repeatedly challenges Hongjun's possession of Pangu-related treasures. After threatening to ally with the Three Pure Ones, he compels Hongjun to relinquish the Taiji Diagram and Pangu Banner; later, he battles Hongjun and breaks the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to gain access to the Jade Disc of Creation. 128 129 198 199

Influence Over the Human Dao

Di Jiang secretly cultivates Huangtian Shi through martial arts, writing, and Pure Yang True Intent. He subsequently supports Huangtian Shi's Human Emperor conferral, redirects the destiny of literature and martial arts to himself, and gains widespread Human Race worship as Great Emperor Houtu. 115 172 174

Earthly Dao Merger and Great Dao Pursuit

Di Jiang fully merges with the Earthly Dao, eliminates the Order Demon God, and learns secrets concerning Pangu's death and the System. He then pursues both Pangu's Path of Strength and the Order Demon God's Path of Systems while using the Jade Disc of Creation to condense law seeds. 196 197 200

Great Tribulation Intervention

During the Investiture of the Gods period, Di Jiang protects Wen Zhong, incorporates him into the Underworld, and uses the Houtu Decree to restrict Saint interference in the Great Tribulation. 298 386

Late-Stage Ascendancy
