Background / History

The Tianxia Association is a major civilian Otherworlder organization founded by the Feng Family. It presents a positive public image, has recognition from official institutions, and is financially supported by Tianxia Group. Its president, Feng Zhenghao, is one of the Ten Elders overseeing the Otherworlder circle. 20 24

The association openly recruits Otherworldly Persons worldwide, provided they are neither convicted criminals nor Quanxing deviants. It prioritizes capable recruits over sheer membership numbers and offers substantial welfare and contribution-based benefits. 24

During the Under One Person Derivative World, Marfario-Ode applied directly at Tianxia Group after helping Nato Tong capture Quanxing members. Feng Shayan tested him against three executives and personally assessed his defenses, perception, and plant-based techniques. 22 23 After he restrained her with vines and a Treant, she formally accepted him as an executive. 24

The association later supplied Ode with intelligence on suspected Quanxing activity, materials for Magic Tool production, and an invitation to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. 24 28 36 Its reputation suffered public scrutiny after the Sakura Garden fire, prompting Tianxia Group to donate ¥10 million. 35

Ode was expelled after refusing to apologize to Wang Bing or submit to Feng Zhenghao's attempt to appease the Wang Family. 44

• Quanxing members and convicted criminals are excluded from recruitment. 24
• Applicants may join through association reception points, while exceptional candidates can be assessed directly by senior members. 23 24

Resources & Operations

• Tianxia Group headquarters — The association operates from Tianxia Group facilities, including a 39th-floor training hall large enough to contain a colosseum-like arena. 23
• Intelligence network — Internal channels provided information on Sakura Garden and Tianxin Nursing Center, allowing Ode to investigate suspected Quanxing activity. 30
• Material storage — The organization maintains stores of specialized forging materials, including Mysterious Turtle Shell, Mysterious Iron, and Flake Gold. 28 44
• Operational supplies — Feng Shayan authorized anesthetic needles, Realgar, Saltpeter, and Flake Gold for Ode's intended operation against Quanxing. 30
• Public relations — Tianxia Group used charitable donations and media attention to respond to the Sakura Garden fire. 35

Relationships

• Feng Zhenghao — Association head, Feng Family patriarch, and one of the Ten Elders. He recruits and cultivates valuable talent but is willing to sacrifice subordinates to secure the Wang Family's support. 24 36 44
• Feng Shayan — Feng Family representative who assesses recruits, assigns missions, approves resources, and commissioned Magic Tools from Ode. 22 24 30

• Marfario-Ode / Wang Changle — Former trainee, low-level, and later high-ranking executive. He was expelled after refusing to yield to the Wang Family. 24 25 29 44

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recruitment of Marfario-Ode

Feng Shayan met Ode at Tianxia Group after hearing of his role in capturing Quanxing newcomer Lu Liang. She tested him in the training hall, where he endured her Space Shuttle-enhanced attacks and countered with Root Entanglement and a Treant. 22 23 She accepted him as an executive and unlocked his faction reputation system. 24

Feng Shayan's Magic Tool Commission

Feng Shayan assigned Ode a seven-day task to forge a weapon suited to her Hundred Paces Divine Fist and Space Shuttle abilities. 24 With materials supplied by Feng Zhenghao and Feng Xingtong, Ode produced Scale Gauntlets that improved her punching strength and worked with her Qi. 28 29

Quanxing Investigations

The association's intelligence network directed Ode toward Sakura Garden and Tianxin Nursing Center, where he uncovered an Enkai-related world node and fought cultists, Formless Children, and mutated Contractors. 26 27 30 His killing of Quanxing member Liao Tietou earned him 500 association reputation and promotion to low-level cadre. 25

Luo Tian Grand Ceremony

Feng Zhenghao secured Ode a place in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony on the condition that he represent the Tianxia Association, deliver a Magic Tool, and reach the top 32. 36 Ode advanced into the top 16 through defensive, endurance-based victories, attracting attention as the Tianxia Association's “Iron Turtle.” 40 41

Expulsion

Following Ode's conflict with Wang Bing, Feng Zhenghao asked him to apologize in order to preserve relations with the Wang Family. Ode refused, accusing Feng Zhenghao of treating him as a disposable pawn. The Tianxia Association expelled him, though Feng Xingtong's trust in him increased. 44
