Background / History
Lux first contacts Zhao Xu in the Land of Returning Death as a mysterious feminine voice claiming to be the Divine Artifact he seeks. She identifies herself as part of Yeger’s Seven Great Prophecies and reveals that she is the “Eternal Sacred Artifact” wielded by the prophecy’s subject 193.
She later explains that she had already merged with Zhao Xu as the Energy Suppression Hide. Lux chose this stable, slotless form to remain close to him, replenish energy for the Blood Altar, evade detection by gods and Legendary Mages, and develop an emotional bond with a master capable of unlocking her full strength 194.
Lux and Zhao Xu cooperate during the battle against a Pit Fiend. She supplies tactical information and warnings while Zhao Xu uses layered defenses, Arcane Fusion, and Axiom Hammer to kill it 198 199. Afterward, Lux reveals that she also grows through their achievements; her chance of transforming into the Tome of Ten Thousand Laws rises by one percent 201.
She continues to advise Zhao Xu during negotiations, historical trials, and major battles. When the Elemental Lords appear, Lux returns in the form of the Final Scroll, substantially expanding Zhao Xu’s access to Ninth-ring magic 252 273 428 429.
During the approaching Cataclysm of Saints, Lux proposes dividing her presence between Zhao Xu and Priest Yun’er: her consciousness would assist Yun’er in developing followers, while her body would remain with Zhao Xu as a Divine Artifact 566.
Personality
Lux presents herself as playful, coquettish, and eager to be treated as Zhao Xu’s “little sister,” contrasting with her initially mysterious introduction 193. She is emotionally invested in Zhao Xu’s growth, having concluded that her previous masters died early because they treated her solely as a weapon rather than forming a bond with her 194.
She can also be acquisitive and pragmatic. Lux expresses excitement at the prospect of acquiring powerful treasures, claims she could devour another Divine Artifact, and encourages Zhao Xu to be more ruthless when evaluating the historical trial’s objectives 253 273.
