Background / History

Zheng Qian retains memories and knowledge from a previous life, including familiarity with numerous martial-arts stories and a perspective shaped by the twenty-first century. Despite his escalating power, he regards his new existence as rootless: he has no original family or friends in this world and continues pursuing strength partly in search of a path home 39 311.

The Myriad Worlds Simulator becomes the foundation of his growth. It allows him to enter simulated worlds under different identities, alter their histories, and inherit selected rewards—including realms, combat experience, techniques, physiques, talents, and Great Dao insights—after each simulation 16 37 402. His simulated identities include Mount Hua disciple Zheng Qian, merchant heir Liu Tianba, Qiu Chuji’s disciple Yin Zhiping, and several divine-world reincarnations 21 160 223 436.

In his early martial-world experiences, he uses the Marble Skill to eradicate the Shahe Gang and the foreign forces aboard an American ship, freeing imprisoned women, seizing weapons and wealth, and burning or sinking both locations to remove evidence 9. He later allies with Sun Wen’s revolutionary cause, seeking to overthrow the Qing and oppose foreign powers 11.

After inheriting Half-step Grandmaster power, Zheng Qian investigates the destruction of the body’s former family. He targets the Tongyang County magistrate for information, learns that the Li Family and Prefect Mu Tingzhou are implicated, and travels to Ziyang City to pursue both revenge and Grandmaster-level resources 37 38 40. He ultimately destroys the Li Family’s resistance, kills Mu Tingzhou with one palm, and forces the Wang, Sun, Zhao, and Zhou factions to submit to his authority 58 60 61.

The Xingyang royal family enfeoffs him as the Carefree King and grants him Xishan Commandery as a fief, while also offering access to Grandmaster-level martial arts from the royal treasury 62 63. Zheng Qian accepts the political position but delegates routine military and administrative responsibilities so he can focus on cultivation 62.

Across later simulations, he repeatedly gains influence through force, resources, and planning. He assists Zhang Yan in overthrowing the Qing and establishing Great Gan, then implements land, education, currency, and water-conservancy reforms as Grand Tutor and National Teacher Protector of the Nation 52 53. As his cultivation rises beyond mortal realms, his actions expand from controlling courts and sects to unifying the Heavenly Profound Realm for the Human Race and confronting Universe Controllers beyond it 163 398 479.

Appearance

Zheng Qian’s true appearance is notably youthful for his cultivation, shocking veteran Half-step Grandmasters who expect a Grandmaster to be far older 60. At nineteen, he publicly identifies himself as a peak ninth-heaven Great Grandmaster, further emphasizing the disparity between his age and strength 255.

• When concealing his identity in Ziyang City, he darkens his skin, alters his nose, and wears a mustache. 39
• His disguised appearance is sufficiently different from his true face to bewilder observers when he reveals himself. 60
• He frequently changes appearance before targeting hostile forces in later cultivation worlds. 363

Personality

Zheng Qian is relentlessly growth-oriented. He treats techniques, rare treasures, combat experience, talent fusion, and political authority as resources that can be converted into greater power. Even after reaching the peak Grandmaster Realm, he immediately seeks the path beyond it rather than settling into his status 92 106.

He is strategic and usually cautious when facing unknown risks. He uses disguises, gathers intelligence before acting, and withdraws from the Death Sand Sea after sensing danger rather than testing an unknown threat recklessly 39 190. He also prefers to prepare extensively, such as crafting hundreds of defensive talismans before an anticipated tribulation 351.

His pragmatism can be ruthless. Zheng Qian destroys hostile families, uses the Life and Death Talisman to control rulers and powerful figures, and plunders sect treasuries for Simulation Points and cultivation resources 60 163 398. However, he also displays empathy toward impoverished civilians, cares for Little Black during its recovery, repays the Liu Family’s assistance, and periodically supports his adoptive parents in simulation 39 190 363 372.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Foshan and Revolutionary Ambitions

Zheng Qian first demonstrates overwhelming martial ability by eliminating the Shahe Gang and foreign slavers, rescuing captives, and destroying evidence of his intervention. He later seeks to support Sun Wen’s revolution and use large-scale change to improve his simulation outcomes 9 11.

Revenge in Xishan Commandery

After becoming a Half-step Grandmaster, Zheng Qian investigates why the former owner of his body’s family was exterminated. He traces the conspiracy toward the Li Family and Prefect Mu Tingzhou, destroys their power base, and establishes himself as the dominant force in the commandery 37 40 60 61.

Carefree King of Xingyang

The Xingyang royal family grants Zheng Qian Xishan Commandery and the title of Carefree King, attempting accommodation while remaining wary of his growth. Zheng accepts the territory but refuses to let rulership distract him from cultivation and his pursuit of a realm beyond Grandmaster 62 63 92.

Great Gan Simulation

In one major simulation, Zheng Qian personally overthrows the Qing, aids Zhang Yan’s rise to emperor, and becomes a principal architect of Great Gan. His reforms include nationalized land, education, currency reform, and water projects; after becoming a Grandmaster, he is expelled from the world for exceeding its limit 52 53.

Ascension Beyond the Martial World

Zheng Qian progresses through Great Grandmaster, Treading Air, Flying Sky, Dao Condensation, Dharma Aspect, Demigod, Void God, and True God realms. His scope grows from martial factions to continents, ascension channels, divine worlds, and the cultivation of the Three Thousand Great Daos 264 354 369 402 409 417.

War Among Universes

As the controller of the Seventh Universe, Zheng Qian retaliates against hostile Universe Controllers. He uses hundreds of Cosmic Clones to blockade enemy universes, kills or overwhelms their rulers, and devours their Cosmic Origins to fuel further simulations and growth 479 483 487 488.
