Ye Xiu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Ye Xiu was an orphan and an ordinary lord in his previous life. He spent ten years as Long Chen's affiliated “farmer lord,” raising spiritual herbs, fruit, and spirit beasts while being exploited and humiliated by the Long Family. His memories of that life also include losing Liu Ruyan to Long Chen, which became a major source of resentment. 65 272 358

He returned to the beginning of the Novice Period through a unique, one-use Rebirth talent. Armed with knowledge of future events, he intended to secure resources, recruit strong subordinates, and become the generation's top newcomer. 9

His foreknowledge did not give him the expected advantage. Su Ye's rise outpaced his memories, Ye Xiu's troops suffered trauma and desertion after the Rift Gate, and his conflict with Lin Xiaoxiao cut off access to Technology Side weapons. He consequently fell far behind in the novice combat-power rankings. 25 104 140 256

As the timeline continued to diverge, Ye Xiu increasingly recognized that much of his prior knowledge was hearsay from the perspective of a former farmer lord rather than a true understanding of the world's upper echelons. The Hundred-Winged Angel incidents and other changes convinced him that the future was no longer reliable, leading him to question whether his Rebirth memories had been altered, implanted, or otherwise falsified. 624 718 740 843

Later revelations further overturn his understanding of the Main World. Tian Jue and Barbatos conclude that the Empire is an Ancient Clan which dominated the Heavens and Myriad Worlds in the previous era and may have concealed rather than lost its power. Ye Xiu consequently begins questioning both the official history of the Empire and whether he himself belongs to a far greater hidden inheritance than he understood. 951

The possibility of deliberate manipulation extends to his companions. During their travels through White Eagle, Barbatos suddenly recovers memories concerning the unification of the myriad worlds and a coming war between races. Barbatos believes someone arranged for these memories to return at that particular time, adding another unresolved layer to the group's encounters with concealed history and altered memory. 1059 1060

Personality

Ye Xiu is ambitious, proud, and highly convinced that his memories of the future give him superior judgment. He often makes plans around events he expects to happen, such as competing for the Extreme Ice Abyss inheritance, recruiting future talents, and taking revenge on Long Hao. 106 141 208 316

His confidence frequently turns into impulsiveness. He attempted to recruit Su Ye as a subordinate, provoked the Long Family, underestimated Tang Wuxue in the final match, and expected Liu Ruyan to endanger herself and her family for him. These choices repeatedly isolated him from potential allies. 105 354 395 399

Later setbacks force him to become more pragmatic. He recognizes that power and a reliable backer are necessary for survival, accepts Tang Yun's contract, and eventually questions whether his Rebirth memories are genuine rather than fabricated. 408 409 440 740

His pursuit of opportunities can nevertheless override his caution. During frontline training, he ventures deep into the battlefield and returns pursued by a God-level Demon. Later, while escaping a Gold-rank Demon, he drains a Blood Pool despite sensing danger in the surrounding valley, weakening the inscriptions on a nearby Blood Cocoon. 511 625

His repeated escapes and life-or-death battles have also made him highly resilient, experienced, and more cautious in practice. Despite the risks attached to his past actions, he ultimately chooses to return to the Main World out of responsibility for the Empire, and he treats Barbatos's Hundred-Winged Angel summoning formation as a necessary emergency trump card rather than an opportunity to use lightly. 919 926 937

He also takes his promises seriously in at least some circumstances. After returning from the world of the golden Taboo Being, he resolves to attempt to pass on its cultivation method even if success is uncertain. 643

The discovery that the Empire's recorded history may be false leaves him unsettled and distrustful. Rather than immediately accepting Barbatos's suggestion that Su Ye may know the truth, Ye Xiu suspects that Barbatos is exploiting the revelation to settle a personal grudge. 951

His concern for the Empire persists even after learning of its hidden strength. When Barbatos explains that the coming war of the races will result in the complete extermination of losing races, Ye Xiu immediately asks about the Empire's safety, prompting his companions to dismiss his worry as unnecessary. 1060

Despite frequent arguments with Barbatos, Ye Xiu explicitly calls them brothers when insisting on accompanying him to the Sea of Godfall. He refuses to be excluded from Barbatos's plans and joins Tian Jue in following him. 1076

Abilities & Skills

Rebirth and Foreknowledge

Ye Xiu's original unique talent returned him to the Novice Period with memories of his previous life.

• The talent was explicitly one-use and would not appear again after activating. 9
• His memories let him identify future opportunities, people, and events, including the Extreme Ice Abyss and Qingwu Feixue's potential. 106 140 141
• His knowledge is incomplete, often based on hearsay from his former life rather than direct understanding of major powers. 624 677
• Changes to the timeline increasingly undermine his certainty; Ye Xiu later suspects that his “Rebirth” may have been implanted future knowledge or an illusion. 718 740
• His former service to the Long Family supplied unusually specific intelligence, including Long Hao's true name and territory coordinates, which he uses to attack a territory normally inaccessible to outsiders. 328
• He recognizes Huo Wenyue as the future Apostle of Wrath from news in his previous life, but lacks the political knowledge needed to understand her presence at Imperial Capital University. 477 478
• He remembers major disasters, including White Eagle's cooperation with Demons, Zerg, and Warp forces and the destruction of Jiangcheng University, though his ability to intervene remains limited. 642 643

Royal Supremacy

Ye Xiu possesses the king-tier Royal Authority talent, whose first trait is Royal Supremacy. 9 398

• Increases troop strength by 5%. 398
• Supports his command of the upgraded Saint Realm Barracks: Dragon Slayer. 398
• During the final novice ranking battle, he fielded one Hero Unit and 9,999 common Dragon Slayer units. 398

Personal Cultivation

Unlike ordinary lords, Ye Xiu cultivates his own strength rather than relying solely on troops.

• His cultivation method lets his personal combat ability exceed his formal rank. 619 625
• He can contend with Silver-rank enemies despite being only Black Iron at the time. 708
• He first learns the basics of a foreign world's cultivation method while mining in a Diamond World, adapting to its rules despite not being native to that world. His physique becomes strong enough to wrestle with an ordinary Dragon Slayer without advancing beyond Black Iron. 568
• A golden Taboo Being enabled him to learn cultivation techniques and urged him to grow quickly. 627
• His cultivation is not a conventional Lord System path and has developed alongside Psionic and demonic power. 778 900
• His physical conditioning was already exceptional at Black Iron rank; Barbatos injured his teeth trying to bite Ye Xiu, while Ye Xiu's elbow strike could crater the ground. 730
• By the time of his later travels, Ye Xiu is the principal combatant of his group because Barbatos has not recovered his Origin and Tian Jue's Origin remains damaged. 926
• At Black Iron rank, he killed a peak Bronze-rank exotic beast with a single strike from an alloy War Blade. 619
• He wields an ancient black blade during his Main World travels, gathering golden light around himself when attacking and using the weapon to cut through Warp Evil Spirits. 920 926
• His practical experience comes from repeated pursuits and encirclements involving Demons, Zerg, Warp creatures, and Void Creatures. The narration describes his battle experience as foremost among his peers, while distinguishing experience from raw combat strength. 926

Combat Techniques

• Flash Step — A movement combat skill that allows Ye Xiu to cross dozens of meters almost instantaneously. Repeated use enables him to evade a Gold-rank Demon's attack and reach a forbidden valley, but places an extreme burden on his muscles and causes him to cough up blood. The Orb of Life assists his recovery. 625
• Thousand-Wall Rupture — Used to shatter Long Hao's Divinity Barrier during the assault on his territory, opening the way for the attackers to kill him. 328

Psionic and Demonic Power

Ye Xiu has accumulated several incompatible systems within his body.

• He absorbed a Psionic Seed, attracting Warp creatures and risking Pollution. 750
• In the Abyss, he absorbed demonic energy and Barbatos's essence blood, developing black scales and entering a black-and-red cocoon. 778
• His cultivation system, Lord System, Psionic system, and demonic bloodline exist in an unstable but functional balance. 900
• Psionic cultivation requires contact with the Warp, creating a risk of discovery, devouring, or soul-level Pollution. 900
• He later develops flesh buds and visible bodily distortion, indicating severe soul-originating Warp Pollution that his companions cannot directly treat. 901 902
• His demonic bloodline renders him a Half-Breed in the eyes of the Hundred-Winged Angel—Tyrant, whose racial-purity doctrine makes him an especially dangerous target. 956 958
• His continued growth despite carrying multiple power systems is explicitly contrasted with the difficulty ordinary cultivators face when combining incompatible paths. 925

Protective Legacies and Inscriptions

Ye Xiu has received several protections connected to ancient and Taboo-level beings.

• The golden Taboo Being's method protected Ye Xiu's soul from the faith-based corruption released during the descent of the Hundred-Winged Angel—Saint. 708
• Barbatos gave him a Primordial Inscription during the escalating Hundred-Winged Angel incidents. 844
• Barbatos also used an Old Inscription to temporarily alleviate the mental pressure inflicted on Ye Xiu by Delmis's Scarlet moonlight. 843
• Divine Runes supplied by Barbatos concealed the trio while they observed a battlefield from nearby. 966

Little Destiny

During the conflict over Little Destiny, the newly formed golden entity entered Ye Xiu's body.

• Little Destiny chose Ye Xiu while he, Barbatos, and Tian Jue were trapped amid Taboo-level conflict. 848
• A single Little Destiny is considered capable of giving rise to a Genesis-level existence, making Ye Xiu a target for major families and their Taboo backers. 853 854
• Imperial Capital University protects him within school territory but warns that it cannot guarantee his safety elsewhere. 862
• After returning to the Main World, Ye Xiu remains cautious about pursuing further Destinies, recognizing that their locations attract forces he cannot safely confront. 922 958
• While in White Eagle, Ye Xiu and Tian Jue refuse Barbatos's request to investigate a local Destiny's emergence without compensation. 1033

Hundred-Winged Angel Summoning

Ye Xiu's group has access to Barbatos's dangerous Hundred-Winged Angel summoning method.

• Ye Xiu does not personally operate the formation, but he proposes retaining it as a hidden trump card and persuades Barbatos that its power may be necessary for survival in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds. 937
• Barbatos's summons are unpredictable; insufficient offerings can provoke the summoned Angel into severely punishing the summoner rather than refusing assistance. 930
• The formation has summoned both the transactional Hundred-Winged Angel—Original Sin and the genocidally purist Hundred-Winged Angel—Tyrant, forcing Ye Xiu's group to repeatedly escape the resulting crises. 930 956
• The method is not usable under all conditions. On the Sea of Godfall's island, restrictions suppress the Divine Crystal and prevent Barbatos from summoning an Angel. Ye Xiu proposes destroying the restrictions to restore access to this trump card. 1077

Fortune and Resistance to Deduction

Ye Xiu is identified as a Child of Fortune, a status associated with his extraordinary survival and opportunities.

• The golden Taboo Being considers Ye Xiu's immense fortune sufficient reason to form a bond with him and send him safely back to the Main World. 569
• Barbatos identifies Ye Xiu as the world's Child of Fortune during their first battle together against Void Creatures. 730
• Barbatos recognizes his fortune when Ye Xiu successfully develops a new personal cultivation path incorporating demonic power. 778
• Tian Jue likewise recognizes him as the world's Child of Fortune when Little Destiny enters his body. 848
• After the ancestral graves of seven families are desecrated, those families cannot deduce information about Ye Xiu's trio. The explanation specifically cites Ye Xiu's status as a Child of Fortune alongside Barbatos's and Tian Jue's Taboo-level status. 1018
• Su Ye regards Ye Xiu as a broader protagonist, contrasting him with Xiu Yi, whose fortune is specifically tied to Island Country. 971

Equipment & Assets

• Saint Realm Barracks: Dragon Slayer — Upgraded barracks producing Dragon Slayer Warriors. 398
• Dragon Slayer Hero Unit — A Demigod-rank Hero Unit empowered by Divinity; it was defeated by Tang Wuxue's God-level Hero Unit, Haili. Its formal level remains Bronze Nine-Star when Ye Xiu is pursued by a Gold-rank Demon. 398 399 625
• Ice-type Demigod Divinity — Acquired after clearing the nine-star Extreme Ice Abyss with a C-rank evaluation. 208
• Hero Promotion Card — Obtained alongside the Ice-type Demigod Divinity. 208
• Platinum Weapon: Berserker Axe — Reward from the Extreme Ice Abyss. 208
• Divine Wonder: Star Gazing Platform — A divination-type Wonder in his territory. 398
• Advanced Wonder: Innate Spirit Source Lake — Territory Wonder. 398
• Primary Wonder: Spirit Qi Spring — Territory Wonder. 398
• Substitute Death Puppet — One-use life-saving treasure consumed when Long Tianci killed his substitute body. 353
• Psionic Seed — Absorbed to gain Psionic power, at the cost of drawing Warp creatures and risking Pollution. 750
• Primordial Inscription — An ancient inscription granted to Ye Xiu by Barbatos amid the Hundred-Winged Angel crisis. 844
• Hundred-Winged Angel Summoning Formation — A group emergency resource operated by Barbatos; Ye Xiu regards it as a dangerous but potentially essential trump card. 937
• Orb of Life — A nine-colored-grade secret treasure and the highest-level treasure in the ruins he explored while fulfilling Tang Yun's contract. Removing it caused the ruins to collapse. After binding it, Ye Xiu expects faster cultivation; it also assists his recovery from the physical strain of repeated Flash Steps. 619 625
• Alloy War Blade — Used to kill a peak Bronze-rank exotic beast while Ye Xiu was personally at Black Iron rank. 619
• Ancient Black Blade — A weapon of unspecified origin described as no ordinary item; used during the trio's later travels and battles against Warp Evil Spirits. 920 926
• Territory Coordinates of the Long Family's Direct Line — Knowledge retained from his former life and considered a final trump card. Ye Xiu recognizes that using it would provoke an unrelenting pursuit by the Long Family. 408
• Space-Time Banishment — A disposable secret treasure capable of banishing living beings below God level to an unpredictable destination. Ye Xiu takes out its card when a God-level Demon's attack leaves him no time to escape conventionally. 511
• Blood Essence — Collected by draining a Blood Pool in a valley feared by a Gold-rank Demon. Its removal dims the inscriptions on a nearby Blood Cocoon, which begins to crack. 625
• Ancient Crystal — A group transportation resource activated by Barbatos to take the trio to the Sea of Godfall. Its activation is sensed by an ancient figure deep within the Empire. 1076

Relationships

• Su Ye — Rival and mutual source of suspicion. Ye Xiu tried to make Su Ye his subordinate using supposed future knowledge, but Su Ye blocked him and later kept his distance to avoid Ye Xiu's conflicts. Imperial Capital University later has Su Ye retrieve Ye Xiu to demonstrate its protection, while Barbatos comes to believe that Su Ye is the reincarnation of an ancient figure connected to his lost Origin. After learning the Empire's possible hidden history, Ye Xiu remains suspicious of Barbatos's claim that Su Ye may know more, believing it may be motivated by Barbatos's grudge. 105 106 354 624 860 862 933 951
• Long Hao — Target of Ye Xiu's revenge; Ye Xiu's actions against him brought the Long Family's pursuit. Ye Xiu uses knowledge of his true name and territory coordinates to attack with Nightmare and Little Fatty, breaks his Divinity Barrier with Thousand-Wall Rupture, and participates in the raid that kills him. 316 328 337 403
• Liu Ruyan — Childhood friend and former romantic fixation. She refuses to involve her family in his feud with the Long Family and declares that they are strangers. 394 395
• Tang Wuxue — Rival in the Imperial Capital University ranking competition. She defeats Ye Xiu and later rejects his proposal to jointly develop a Bronze World. 399 405 406
• Tang Yun — Protects Ye Xiu from immediate Long Family pressure in exchange for a contract requiring him to complete three tasks. Ye Xiu later follows her instructions in a ruin to retrieve the Chaos Church's Blood Qi Bead; obtaining it is described as fulfilling his contract. 408 409 619
• Zhou Ran — Zhou Family heir who has Ye Xiu removed from the major merchant guilds' blacklists, primarily to inconvenience the Long Family. Ye Xiu regards this as a lifeline and vows to remember the Zhou Family's help, though Zhou Ran does not intend to take him in or commit his family to a full conflict. 358
• Barbatos / Doggie — Abyssal Overlord in a dog-like form who becomes Ye Xiu's companion, guide, and source of demonic essence blood. He has lost his Reincarnation Origin, retains incomplete memories of his former life, and travels with Ye Xiu despite frequent bickering and mutual exasperation. His recovered memories also contribute to Ye Xiu's discovery that the Empire may be an Ancient Clan concealing its true history and strength. During their White Eagle journey, Ye Xiu and Tian Jue beat him until he explains his sudden recollection of the worlds' merger; Barbatos then reveals memories of a coming war of the races. Ye Xiu later calls them brothers while insisting on joining his expedition to the Sea of Godfall. 730 778 801 932 936 951 1059 1060 1076
• Tian Jue — Companion who travels with Ye Xiu and Barbatos through dangerous worlds and the Little Destiny incident. His damaged Origin leaves Ye Xiu as the group's primary fighter during their later travels. Tian Jue recalls the Empire's dominance in the previous era, becoming Ye Xiu's principal source for revelations about its concealed history. While discussing their next destination in White Eagle, Barbatos suggests that the worlds' merger may allow Tian Jue to recover without returning to his ancestral land. He accompanies Ye Xiu and Barbatos to the Sea of Godfall and explains that innate divine light offers a chance to surpass Eternity. 848 860 926 951 1059 1076
• Golden Taboo Being — Rescued Ye Xiu, helped him return to the Main World, and entrusted him with passing on the world's laws when an opportunity arises. Its protective method also shielded Ye Xiu's soul from the Hundred-Winged Angel—Saint's influence. 569 627 708
• The Old Man — Imperial Capital University authority who guarantees Ye Xiu's safety within the school's jurisdiction and explains the danger posed by families seeking Little Destiny. 862
• The Empire — Ye Xiu initially regards the Empire as a civilization vulnerable to catastrophe because of the crises around him. Later, Tian Jue and Barbatos reveal that it may be an Ancient Clan which once dominated the Heavens and Myriad Worlds and deliberately concealed its enduring strength, forcing Ye Xiu to reconsider both its history and his own connection to it. He nevertheless remains concerned for its safety when told of the coming war of the races. 919 951 1060
• Hundred-Winged Angel—Original Sin — A Genesis-level Angel summoned by Barbatos in Bear Country. She accepted Barbatos's offering, transported Ye Xiu's group through Space-Time, and showed hostility toward Barbatos for allegedly leading her God Emperor astray. 930 931
• Hundred-Winged Angel—Tyrant — A Genesis-level Angel whose racial-purity doctrine condemns all non-Pureblood Humans. Ye Xiu becomes a potential target because his demonic blood makes him a Half-Breed, forcing the group to flee. 956 958
• Lin Xiaoxiao / Little Merchant — Merchant lord whose partnership Ye Xiu unsuccessfully sought during the Novice Period. She blocks him, restricting his access to Technology Side weapons, and later threatens him after his public exposure of the heirs' weapon-control scheme. She also investigates whether a Rare Treasure or Wonder explains his apparent foreknowledge. 17 141 273 278 364
• Nightmare — Ally recruited through their shared hostility toward the Long Family while Ye Xiu plans revenge against Long Hao. He joins Ye Xiu and Little Fatty in the successful attack on Long Hao's territory. 141 328
• Long Chen — Ye Xiu's former main lord in his Rebirth memories. His exploitation of Ye Xiu and involvement with Liu Ruyan underpin Ye Xiu's resentment toward the Long Family. Ye Xiu later publicly challenges him to swear upon the Eternal Will over the heirs' control of weapon resources. 272 273
• Wang Fugui — Subordinate lord and illegitimate son of the Wang Family's head. When Long Tianci prepares to search Wang Fugui's soul during the investigation into Long Hao's death, Ye Xiu erases him through the Lord System to prevent disclosure of his own involvement. 327 337
• Xiu Yi and Butterfly — Individuals encountered during the trio's return to mutated Island Country. Butterfly is initially known as the Artificial God Girl. The later investigation into seven families' desecrated ancestral graves fails to deduce information about either Ye Xiu's trio or Xiu Yi and Butterfly. 919 920 969 1018
• Little Fatty — Participant in the raid on Long Hao's territory alongside Ye Xiu and Nightmare. After the territory is looted, he uses Heaven-Deceiving Escape during their withdrawal. 328
• Huo Wenyue — A woman Ye Xiu recognizes from his memories as the future Chaos Church Apostle of Wrath. Seeing her enter Imperial Capital University's Villa Area alarms him, but he postpones reporting her because he does not understand her purpose or the university's possible involvement. 477 478
• Vilia — A Genesis-level existence encountered with Barbatos. Ye Xiu learns from Barbatos that she split her Origin in two, was once the Abyssal Overlord, and is devoted to Su Ye. Ye Xiu and Tian Jue witness her repeatedly punish Barbatos for his remarks and later help pull him from a pit. 975
• Oda Hagoromo — A polluted opponent encountered during the trio's later Island Country travels. Bearing a grudge because Barbatos previously threw him into a cesspool, he threatens to torture Ye Xiu and Barbatos, who prepare to fight him. 1000

Story Role / Major Arcs

Novice Period

Ye Xiu begins the story as a reborn lord attempting to exploit future knowledge. He prepares for the nine-star Extreme Ice Abyss in pursuit of an Ice-type High True God inheritance, but only earns a C-rank evaluation; he does gain a Hero Promotion Card, a Platinum weapon, and Ice-type Demigod Divinity. 106 208

His early plans are undermined by resource shortages, troop morale problems, and his failed attempt to manipulate Su Ye. The resulting block by Su Ye and Lin Xiaoxiao prevents him from acquiring Technology Side weapons and damages his ranking prospects. 104 105 141 256

Despite these setbacks, he survives a day and night of fighting to obtain a Black Iron Dimensional Treasure Chest and later restores his troops' confidence through repeated difficult-level Void Trials. He also identifies Qingwu Feixue as the future Giant Empress, but lacks the resources to invest in her, instead forming an alliance with Nightmare against the Long Family. 74 140 141

The Rift Gate disaster begins after he opens a Dimensional Rift with several thousand Dragon Slayer Warriors under his command. Lesser Demons and Imps invade his territory, forcing him to urgently seek Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards. Although the surviving troops reach Bronze, their later fear and desertion undermine the strength he expected to gain. 65 74 104

After the Lost Secret Realm, Ye Xiu promotes his first Hero Unit to Epic rank and considers building a public reputation as a way to obtain the influence and backing needed to oppose the Long Family. He intends to appropriate the credit Su Ye received in his previous life for explaining the dangers of upgrading the Lord's Heart too early. 256

Long Family Conflict

Seeking the Faith Statue Blueprint and revenge for his former life, Ye Xiu targets Long Hao. When Long Tianci prepares to search his subordinate lord Wang Fugui's soul, Ye Xiu erases Wang Fugui through the Lord System to prevent his involvement from being revealed. The family's resources nevertheless rapidly trace the connection back to Ye Xiu. 316 327 337

The attack itself exploits knowledge retained from his former service to the Long Family. Ye Xiu, Nightmare, and Little Fatty trap Long Hao inside a Sealing Barrier, and their Dragon Slayers and Nightmare Shadows overwhelm his Frost Dragons. When Long Hao relies on a Divinity Barrier for protection, Ye Xiu shatters it with Thousand-Wall Rupture. Long Hao is killed, the attackers loot his territory, and Little Fatty uses Heaven-Deceiving Escape as they withdraw. 328

Long Tianci kills Ye Xiu's substitute body, forcing him to consume his only Substitute Death Puppet. Ye Xiu survives only because Imperial Capital University prevents the Long Family from acting freely inside campus grounds. 353 354

The consequences extend beyond direct assassination attempts. His roommates move out to avoid implicating their families, and the major merchant guilds blacklist him. Zhou Ran subsequently arranges for his removal from the blacklists as a limited provocation against the Long Family, giving Ye Xiu a chance to resume development without resolving the underlying feud. 337 358

Public Exposure and Isolation

Ye Xiu publicly exposes great families for adopting orphans and training them as death squads. The revelations spark public outrage and lead to discipline against several families, earning Ye Xiu widespread support among ordinary lords while intensifying the elite families' hatred of him. 436 439 440

Recognizing that popularity alone cannot protect him, he decides to seek a powerful backer and pursue more stable development. 440

His earlier public accusations draw other interests into the conflict, particularly the Medical System, which amplifies the controversy to attack the great families. Ye Xiu realizes that he is being used but continues giving interviews because public attention temporarily deters retaliation. Fearing that this protection will fade, he escalates his disclosures rather than retreating. 420 421 429

The Empire's subsequent crackdown forces several implicated families to pay substantial penalties, surrender members for arrest, and send a Main God-level ancestor from each family to the front lines. These measures increase the families' resentment toward Ye Xiu even as ordinary lords celebrate his actions. 439 440

Frontline Training and Foreign-World Cultivation

Finding safe development in the Main World increasingly difficult, Ye Xiu decides that the front lines offer his best chance to establish himself. During a student battlefield exercise, he goes beyond the intended cleanup area and returns pursued by a God-level Demon. Facing an attack he cannot evade in time, he takes out Space-Time Banishment, a disposable treasure that can send beings below God level to an unknown destination. 498 511

He later appears as a miner in a Diamond World, where he learns the basics of its cultivation system despite being an outsider. Although his formal level remains Black Iron, his physique improves enough to wrestle with an ordinary Dragon Slayer. The world's golden Taboo Being then summons him to a golden palace and ultimately sends him back to the Main World before that world is destroyed. 568 569

After arriving within the Empire, Ye Xiu returns to the Imperial Capital and registers at Imperial Capital University. His return attracts little attention, and he resumes cultivating in his territory. He later resolves to try to pass on the cultivation method in fulfillment of his promise. 569 571 575 643

Contract Tasks and Personal Opportunities

As the second-ranked freshman of Imperial Capital University, Ye Xiu gains access to ruins where he follows Tang Yun's instructions to retrieve the Blood Qi Bead for the Chaos Church. Although unwilling to undertake the task, he remains bound by his contract and the Eternal Will. Obtaining the bead is described as fulfilling the contract, allowing him to search for opportunities of his own. 619

He acquires the Orb of Life, a nine-colored-grade secret treasure whose removal causes the ruins to collapse. His personal cultivation already allows him to kill a peak Bronze-rank exotic beast in one blow despite being at Black Iron rank. 619

During a later encounter with a Gold-rank Demon, Ye Xiu uses repeated Flash Steps to reach a blood-red valley that his pursuer refuses to enter. After crossing a stone bridge over a river of blood, he discovers a Blood Pool and a Blood Cocoon. He collects the pool's Blood Essence, only to realize that the cocoon's inscriptions are dimming and its shell is beginning to crack. 625

Abyss, Barbatos, and the Hundred-Winged Angel

While on an overseas trial, Ye Xiu's fighting activates an altar and releases the Hundred-Winged Angel, an event severe enough to draw joint action from Imperial Capital University and John Bull. 708 710

The Angel—Saint transforms the trial world into its pasture and converts all participants other than Ye Xiu into followers. Ye Xiu alone escapes its direct influence because the golden Taboo Being's method protects his soul, yet John Bull still holds him responsible for the Angel's return. 709 710 715

He later encounters Barbatos, travels to the Abyss, and begins integrating demonic power with his existing cultivation and Psionic systems. 730 750 778

Their partnership begins when an argument and physical clash are interrupted by a swarm of Void Creatures. They agree to a truce, and Barbatos recognizes Ye Xiu as the world's Child of Fortune while guiding him toward a safe escape route. Ye Xiu subsequently brings him back to the embassy after having him adopt a Teddy-like appearance. 730

After Ye Xiu absorbs a Psionic Seed, Warp creatures can detect and pursue him. With Gold-rank pursuers closing in, he follows Barbatos through a spatial rift into the Abyss, where the rift disappears behind them. This leaves him dependent on adapting to the Abyss and its available sources of power. 750 778

Little Destiny Crisis

Ye Xiu follows an unexplained call toward the Little Destiny conflict despite the presence of numerous Taboo-level beings. When Little Destiny enters his body, he becomes a prized target for powerful families seeking a path toward Genesis-level power. 841 848 853

Imperial Capital University publicly intervenes on his behalf, offering sanctuary within its jurisdiction while making clear that he remains vulnerable beyond school protection. 860 862

Warp Pollution

While cultivating Psionic power, Ye Xiu enters the Warp and encounters a massive white-gold sun before awakening in a blood-colored royal court. His body subsequently develops flesh buds and distortion, alarming Barbatos and Tian Jue. 900 901

Barbatos concludes that the Lord of Bloodshed has taken an interest in him, leaving Ye Xiu's condition and the consequences of his mixed power systems unresolved. 902

Despite the unresolved Pollution, Ye Xiu later chooses to return to the Main World, fearing that the Empire may suffer because of the crises associated with him. 919

Return to the Main World

Ye Xiu, Barbatos, and Tian Jue return through a teleportation formation but arrive in a grotesquely mutated Island Country. They encounter the Artificial God Girl and Xiu Yi, avoid direct conflict, and conclude that the Main World has changed drastically during their absence. 919 922

Rather than immediately pursuing another Destiny, Ye Xiu prioritizes survival and reconnaissance. The trio begins traveling across the Main World, planning a route through Island Country, Bear Country, Europe, and the White Eagle, before eventually reaching Europe. 922 960

Their experience has made their combat coordination exceptionally practiced. During the Island Country encounter, Ye Xiu draws his ancient black blade and attacks with golden light, while the trio's seamless cooperation astonishes the Artificial God Girl and Xiu Yi. 920

After escaping a swarm of Warp Evil Spirits and the arrival of a God-level Warp creature, the trio is teleported near a Demon-filled city. Barbatos discovers a Demon Mother Tree and proposes stealing it, while Ye Xiu initially restrains his enthusiasm by pointing out the surrounding Demons before asking how the scheme would work. 926 927

Barbatos's Lost Origin and Later Destinies

Barbatos leads Ye Xiu and Tian Jue to a sealed chest that should contain his Reincarnation Origin, intending to reclaim his former power. The chest contains only Dao essence, however, and Barbatos concludes that a former companion—whom he suspects is connected to Su Ye—stole the Origin. 932 933

Ye Xiu and Tian Jue subsequently discover that Barbatos has permanently worn away part of his own memories and soul. Ye Xiu suspects a connection to Su Ye, but Barbatos chooses not to investigate the reason for his own actions. The group decides to continue traveling rather than remain in the Empire, and Ye Xiu proposes visiting French Chicken while asking Barbatos to prepare the Hundred-Winged Angel summoning array. 936

When a third Destiny begins condensing near the border of the Empire and White Elephant, Ye Xiu advises Barbatos to preserve the Hundred-Winged Angel summoning formation as a last-resort weapon. The Empire establishes a Forbidden Zone and prepares for the inevitable conflict over the Genesis-level opportunity. 937

Barbatos subsequently summons the Hundred-Winged Angel—Tyrant. Upon learning that Tyrant will exterminate non-Pureblood Humans and considers Ye Xiu's demon blood a greater offense, the trio abandons the conflict and escapes rather than compete for the Destiny. 956 958

The trio later observes a battlefield from concealment under Barbatos's Divine Runes rather than openly joining the combat. 966

During an encounter with Vilia, Ye Xiu and Tian Jue watch her force Barbatos to reveal Su Ye's whereabouts. After she departs for the Empire, Barbatos explains her Genesis-level status, divided Origin, and longstanding devotion to Su Ye. Her ability to punish Barbatos from afar repeatedly interrupts the conversation, and Ye Xiu and Tian Jue avoid taking sides when Barbatos asks them to compare his appearance with Su Ye's. 975

Hidden History of the Empire

While considering the Empire's conspicuous refusal to openly contend for Destiny, Ye Xiu, Barbatos, and Tian Jue conclude that its apparent lack of interest cannot be caused by weakness. Tian Jue recalls that the Empire was an Ancient Clan which dominated the Heavens and Myriad Worlds in the previous era, forcing many other Ancient Clans into hiding. 951

This revelation contradicts the history Ye Xiu knew, which portrayed the Empire as a weakened nation that had suffered a tragic decline. He begins to suspect that the Empire has deliberately hidden its strength and may have secretly preserved the other human empires, while also questioning whether his own identity is tied to this concealed Ancient Clan. 951

Subsequent narration confirms that the Empire created the Main World's overall structure and that its recorded contemporary history was artificially manufactured. This supports the trio's suspicions, though the passage does not establish that Ye Xiu personally learns the full truth. 966

Island Country Sacrifices and Ancestral Graves

During a later visit to Island Country, the trio is pursued by a Blood-Colored Demon. Ye Xiu and Barbatos lead it toward Church of the Old Days cultists preparing a summoning ritual, leaving the cultists to confront it while they escape. They subsequently encounter the polluted Oda Hagoromo, who threatens revenge for Barbatos's earlier humiliation of him. 1000

The trio observes a Taboo War whose shockwaves are largely isolated by golden Inscription patterns. Ye Xiu expresses disbelief at Tyrant's extreme racial-purity doctrine and watches members of the Church of the Old Days prepare a sacrificial formation, wondering what existence they intend to summon and why they have not yet begun. 1004

The ancestral graves of seven families are subsequently reported to have been dug open, with all the corpses missing. The enraged families cannot deduce information about Ye Xiu's trio or Xiu Yi and Butterfly: Barbatos and Tian Jue retain Taboo-level status, while Ye Xiu is protected by his status as a Child of Fortune. 1018

White Eagle Journey and Myriad Worlds Unification

While traveling in White Eagle's Utah Territory, Ye Xiu, Barbatos, and Tian Jue enter a suspicious small town whose residents invite them to a banquet serving “Two-Legged Sheep” meat. Sensing hostility, Ye Xiu overturns the table and draws his battle saber when the residents insist that they eat. The townspeople reveal themselves as Vengeful Ghosts, and Barbatos identifies the threat as the Weird, comparing the town to the Otherworld. 1033

After leaving Utah, Ye Xiu, Barbatos, and Tian Jue continue traveling through White Eagle territory, where they witness severe inequalities shaped by wealth and skin color, as well as people eating other humans. When Tian Jue asks where they should go next, Barbatos suggests that the worlds are merging and that Tian Jue may not need to return to his ancestral land to regain strength. 1059

Ye Xiu and Tian Jue press Barbatos for an explanation, beating him until he admits that he has suddenly remembered the information rather than merely sensed it. Barbatos believes someone deliberately arranged the timing of his memory recovery. 1059

Barbatos then recalls that an unnamed person told him long ago about myriad worlds unification and a coming war of the races. He explains that this war will have no factions, only conflict between races, and that losing races will be entirely exterminated. Shocked, Ye Xiu asks what will happen to the Empire, only for Barbatos and Tian Jue to dismiss his concern in light of its strength. 1060

Sea of Godfall Expedition

Barbatos reveals that he intends to visit the Sea of Godfall to summon the Hundred-Winged Angel. Ye Xiu and Tian Jue insist on accompanying him, with Ye Xiu invoking their brotherhood rather than accepting Barbatos's suggestion that they remain behind. Barbatos explains that the area contains annihilation black gold and may hold a beam of innate divine light, which Tian Jue describes as offering a chance to advance beyond Eternity. 1076

Using an ancient crystal, Barbatos transports the trio to a black beach covered in annihilation black gold. An enormous black bamboo stands at the island's center, which he identifies as a divine-level spiritual root. The crystal's activation is also sensed by an ancient figure deep within the Empire, though no connection between that figure and Ye Xiu is established. 1076

The island proves both dangerous and restrictive. A descending pale hand threatens the trio before black light from the island shatters it. Meanwhile, a terrifying armored being advances across the sea despite the efforts of three Eternal-level powerhouses to stop it. Barbatos finds that the island's restrictions suppress his Divine Crystal, preventing him from summoning the Hundred-Winged Angel. 1077

Ye Xiu reasons that destroying the restrictions may allow the summoning to proceed, and the group decides to head toward the spiritual root at the island's center. However, Ye Xiu and Barbatos collapse when attempting to leave the beach. Tian Jue mocks them, only to collapse as well, leaving their progress and escape unresolved. 1077
