Background

Li Mu initially appeared as a human HuoZhong Awakener in Frostfire City, wielding the Frostfire Rose and possessing two Origin HuoZhong: an Earth-grade source with Camouflage and a Heaven-grade source with Nirvana. Even at Extraordinary Level LV1, he intended to leave Frostfire City and explore other worlds 7.

He pursued magical power in the Wizard world, where he sought to establish a wizard empire with wizards as the ruling class. His absorption of Phoenix Fawkes strengthened his Wizard Bloodline, while Dumbledore’s Elder Wand became one of his earliest major Spark Artifacts 28 33.

Li Mu’s memories and origins were concealed for most of his life. After recovering sealed memories, he learned that he was born on Primeval Blue Star during the aftermath of a war involving the Dimension Will, the Primeval Phoenix, and Primordial Ancient Demons. As an infant, he survived the aberrant contamination and mutual slaughter that destroyed Primeval Blue Star’s fourth civilization, becoming its final survivor 510.

The Primeval Phoenix later sealed him, while Emperor Heart erased his memories and sent him through a private mental dreamscape before transporting him to Frostfire City. Li Mu eventually discovered that the Primeval Phoenix had sacrificed a fragment of its true spirit through the Spark Root and Root of Fate; that fragment reincarnated as him 510 650.

Appearance

Li Mu’s ordinary form is human. He is described as handsome, healthy-skinned, and notably well-kept compared with the survivors around him 98.

• Can assume disguises that alter his body, life essence, soul essence, genes, divine soul, and true spirit 390 511.
• Has used forms including the Spark White Tiger, Primordial Ancient Demon, Silence Beast, and multiple borrowed identities 366 390 464 531.
• Can merge with the Phoenix and assume a primordial hermaphroditic phoenix form, which exceeds his human form in power 596.
• During Hull Fusion, manifests metallic phoenix wings, red Nirvana-Flame armor, shoulder-mounted cannons, and a weaponized staff 272.

Personality

Li Mu is intensely ambitious, pragmatic, and driven by self-improvement. Early in his rise, he openly stated his intention to make wizards the ruling class and establish a wizard empire 33. He continually treats new inheritances, enemies, artifacts, and environments as opportunities to develop stronger methods.

He is cautious around generosity, hidden motives, and unknown powers. He recognized the Starlight Spark Shop owner’s hospitality as a likely trap, investigated the implications of the Abyss Heart rather than immediately fusing with it, and routinely uses clones or disguises to probe dangerous locations 120 341 609.

In battle, Li Mu favors preparation, deception, and adaptability over direct confrontation when possible. He often tests enemies before committing his strongest assets, exploits enemy weaknesses, and prioritizes valuable objectives over immediate revenge 87 296 409.

Despite his ruthlessness, he values those close to him. He protects and cultivates Rei Ayanami, reconciles with Helena after neglecting her, and supports Flower Fairy through her awakening and transformation 234 405 531.

• Attack-Defense Conversion — can convert the Phoenix’s defense into destructive power or convert incoming damage into defense 603 624.

Early Growth and Wizard World

Li Mu began as a low-level HuoZhong Awakener in Frostfire City before entering the Wizard world, where he acquired the Elder Wand, absorbed Phoenix Fawkes, and raised his Wizard Bloodline to LV10 28 45. His stated ambition was to establish a wizard empire ruled by magical civilization 33.

Golden Crow City and Phoenix Academy

Li Mu developed Golden Crow City alongside the Phoenix Seedship, expanding its modules, power, and treasure-hunting capabilities 108 155 156.

Blood Origin Wizard and Spark Alliance Rise

After evolving into a Blood Origin Wizard, Li Mu expanded his forces through Blood God Spawns, mechanical spirits, and Spark technology 256 294.
