Background / History

Gu Qinghe is a member of the Gu family and possesses secret lore passed down through her lineage. She identifies the Origin Secret Realm beneath Dragon Country’s Dragon Vein and leads Lin Yuan’s group through its concealed formations to its entrance. 288 289

Before becoming a key figure in Blue Star’s wartime efforts, she was known as the “queen of the business world.” During the Myriad Races crisis, she redirects her abilities toward logistics, leading Rune Masters and Refiners in producing defensive Runes and formation plates for the global defense network. 292

Her work later expands beyond Blue Star into the Star Sea Alliance’s technological and strategic programs, including ancient-Rune analysis, energy fusion, dimensional research, and extraterrestrial-energy purification. 306 335 373

Appearance

Gu Qinghe is usually presented in a simple, elegant qipao, with a gentle and composed bearing. She later wears glasses while conducting technical and Rune analysis. 288 317

• Carries an ancient wooden box containing her family’s inherited map. 288
• Her expression becomes notably animated when examining unfamiliar Rune structures or new technical models. 305 335
• Maintains a calm, professional appearance even in military command and research settings. 292 349

Personality

Gu Qinghe is analytical, meticulous, and intensely devoted to Rune research. Novel Rune structures and advanced energy models can absorb her attention completely; Lin Yuan occasionally has to prompt her to summarize her findings rather than continue recording data. 306 335

Her scholarship is tied to a protective purpose rather than detached curiosity. When dimensional corruption causes her to doubt all of her accumulated Rune knowledge, she reaffirms that knowledge is a tool and protection is the goal, allowing her to overcome the illusion. 344

She is also caring and dependable toward her companions. She prepares Qi Replenishing Soup for Lin Yuan after his battles, worries openly about the risks he accepts, and continues refining plans to reduce those risks once his decisions are made. 288 347

Abilities & Skills

Ancient Rune Analysis

Gu Qinghe can identify, interpret, and reverse-engineer highly complex ancient, defensive, and hostile Rune systems.

• Determines that a guardian Amulet recognizes origin rather than raw power, allowing Lin Yuan to open its barrier with Blue Star’s Dragon Vein Source Power. 306
• Identifies the shared underlying logic between Black Mist Runes and ancient guardian Runes, then develops a reverse Rune to penetrate the Black Mist Lockdown Array. 317
• Deciphers dimensional Rune locks and analyzes structures described as hundreds of times more complex than previously encountered Runes. 333 343
• Discovers a hidden Rune backdoor that can bypass the Black Mist Race Mother Nest’s outer defenses. 324

Formation Arts

Her formation expertise ranges from battlefield confinement and defense to large-scale offensive arrays.

• Constructs the Star Sea Killing Array, creating a vast Sword Domain against the Black Mist Matriarch. 322
• Personally directs the array’s deployment, an achievement that leads to the condensation of her Myriad Laws Rune Body. 324
• Uses a confinement formation with Su Li to temporarily restrain the Abyss Monarch. 302
• Deploys the Tri-Phase Binding Array to immobilize an Outer Realm Ancient Beast after Su Li wounds it. 425

Rune Engineering and Defensive Production

Gu Qinghe applies Rune knowledge to industrial-scale defensive infrastructure.

• Leads top Refiners and Rune Masters in forging high-level defensive Runes and formation plates for Blue Star’s global defense network. 292
• Refines the Primal Chaos Guardian Talisman by combining Rune technology with Lin Yuan’s Primal Chaos Sword Gangqi. 293
• Mass-produces Primal Chaos Runes after reaching the Spirit Gathering Realm’s seventh level, increasing both their quality and production efficiency more than tenfold. 299
• Develops a Rune that supports the reconstruction of the Star Sea Defense Network. 314

Energy Fusion and Purification

Gu Qinghe researches the interaction, synchronization, and purification of incompatible origin energies.

• Designs the first-generation Energy Fusion Device for Hongmeng, Star Sea, and Holy Light energies; its first activation fails due to their natural repulsion. 332 333
• Identifies the need for an Energy Harmonizer, then uses it with Mechanical Civilization theory to create a stable Energy Fusion Core. 333 335
• Activates the Six-Element Purification Device against an extraterrestrial corrosive storm, though it proves insufficient on its own. 375
• Uses six-element purification energy to suppress, guide, and purify the violent extraterrestrial origin crystal Lin Yuan absorbs. 378
• Is assigned to develop the Extraterrestrial Energy Purification Bomb alongside the Plant Spirit and Crystal Civilizations. 373

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Ancient Jade Pendant — An inherited Gu-family artifact used as a medium for reverse Runes and major energy-fusion work. 317 347
• Primal Chaos Guardian Talisman — A gray-gold Rune talisman she refines through extensive labor and rare materials. 293
• Six-Element Purification Device — A purification system prepared to resist extraterrestrial corrosive energy. 375
• Energy Fusion Core — A stabilized fusion core produced after integrating the Energy Harmonizer and Mechanical Civilization principles. 335
• High-precision spatial energy detector — Used to expose the impossibly stable structure around a Dimensional Rift. 342

Relationships

• Lin Yuan — Trusted ally and the primary beneficiary of her Rune expertise. She provides him with the Gu family’s Origin Secret Realm knowledge, assists his cultivation and major operations, and works to minimize the risks of his plans. 288 306 347 378
• Su Li — Frequent battlefield and research partner. They coordinate formations, Rune operations, and high-risk missions, including the Star Sea Killing Array and dimensional expeditions. 302 318 343
• Chen Ruoxi — Fellow researcher and technical collaborator. The two contribute complementary analysis and engineering skills during ruin exploration, purification operations, and alliance research. 306 349
• Iron Guard — Mechanical Civilization ally whose energy-synchronization technology helps resolve the flaw in Gu Qinghe’s fusion-weapon design. 335
• Plant Spirit Envoy — Allied vice commander whose Life Mother Tree energy complements Gu Qinghe’s purification technology during the expedition into the extraterrestrial Abyss. 374 375
