Background / History

Hope is a transmigrator from Blue Star who cultivated the Water Laws for trillions of years before becoming the Water Sovereign. Although he reached Great Perfection in the Water Laws, he initially kept his Paragon strength hidden. Before the main events, he participated in the three major Sovereign Wars and unsuccessfully attempted to seize Supreme Artifacts. 1

At the tenth Plane War between the Water Divine Plane and the Radiant Divine Realm, Hope secured a tenth consecutive victory for his side through his envoy Bayer, earning a portion of Willpower for the Water Elemental Plane. 1 3

Personality

Hope is composed and calculating, rarely displaying alarm even when facing powerful Sovereigns or coordinated enemy forces. His confidence is rooted in preparation, hidden strength, and a long-term pursuit of greater power. 2 80

He invests in capable followers, appointing and equipping envoys such as Palhouse, Bayer, Ninisha, and Leilin. He is also fiercely protective when they are threatened; Diya's attack on Palhouse immediately provokes Hope's intent to kill. 3 23 58 138

His central ambition is to transcend the world. He repeatedly researches paths beyond the Sovereign realm, including soul mutation, fused Sovereign Power, physical enhancement, and magic arrays. 89 96 111 118 161
