Background and History

Liu Manyun first encounters Lin Zhichen in the Virtual Bar, then obtains his communication signal and tells him she intends to find him. She later visits as the leader of the Thorn Rose Mercenary Group, invited by the Federal Psionic Association to help verify his abilities. She explains Hero specializations, teaches him to form a light sword, and spars with him. Their prolonged duel leads to an intimate relationship 6 18 19 20.

Thorn Rose is a Level 5 mercenary group nearing eligibility for promotion to a Legion. Its conflict with Blood Wolf dates back to Liu Manyun’s mother’s generation. When Blood Wolf attacks and Thorn Rose loses its base, Liu Manyun is cornered in the Piago Galaxy. Lin Zhichen comes to her aid; afterward, she joins Meteor with Thorn Rose’s surviving fleet and takes command of Meteor’s Second Fleet 20 93 120 124 126.

As Meteor grows into a Legion and later an Empire, Liu Manyun remains a senior commander. She leads large fleets in expansion and defense, while developing the Empire’s use of alien beasts—including Flame Butterflies, Thunder Snakes, and Fire Dragons. Her later work extends to restoring planets, cultivating life, and opening the giant tree world in the Psionic Realm to Imperial development 208 222 481 625 765 885 907.
