Background / History

Di Jiang first appears through a projection summoned by Cihang's Divine King Magic Immortal Stick. Rather than his normal form, the projection manifests as a tan, athletic young woman in a crop top and short athletic shorts, causing immediate humiliation for Di Jiang and delight for his lifelong rival Di Jun. 27 28

After confronting Zhao Gongming over the projection, Di Jiang quickly recognizes the strategic value of conceptual magic treasures. He provides the Innate Fusang Tree Core—an item Di Jun identifies as stolen from him—to commission a treasure of his own. 29 30

Appearance

Di Jiang's usual form is a large, bald, bare-chested, heavily muscled Ancestor Witch with a sallow face and ember-like skin. 27 41 152

• Broad, muscular build and prominent physical presence. 41 150
• Bald head, frequently targeted by opponents' attacks and formations. 152
• Usually wears rugged animal-skin armor or clothing associated with the Witch Race. 75 123
• His summoned female projection has a high ponytail, healthy tan skin, athletic clothing, and a notably energetic demeanor. 27 28

Personality

Di Jiang is confrontational, loud, and exceptionally shameless. He taunts enemies, insults allies and rivals alike, and considers extortion through his magic treasures a legitimate application of their rules. When Di Jun accuses him of theft, Di Jiang responds by barking at him rather than arguing. 30 47 97

His confidence frequently becomes overconfidence. He provokes powerful figures such as Ancestor Minghe, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Randeng, and the East King Duke, then suffers repeated retaliatory humiliations. 47 52 97 123 129

Despite this behavior, Di Jiang is deeply protective of his family. He fiercely opposes Eastern Emperor Taiyi's relationship with Houtu, considers Taiyi unworthy of his sister, and pursues him across the skies in rage. 76 77 89 He also immediately agrees to help rescue Di Jun when the latter vanishes into an unstable interworld spatial rift, reassuring Lu Ya that he will bring his rival back alive. 150

Di Jiang later admits that he does not know how to make friends and asks Zhao Gongming for help overcoming his social anxiety and poor reputation. 136 His relationship with Wangshu reveals a gentler, openly affectionate side that sharply contrasts with his usual rough manner. 160 161 162

• Tears open void passages to transport Zhao Gongming and Lu Ya across an alien star system. 152
• His spatial mobility makes him difficult to pursue, particularly when combined with his wheelchair. 96 97

Quasi-Saint Physique

As a veteran top Quasi-Saint and Ancestor Witch, Di Jiang possesses immense durability and extensive combat experience.
