Background / History

Beirut is the native Sovereign of the Yulan Continent and its unquestioned strongest resident. Unable to let his Sovereign clone leave the continent, he spent thousands of years observing its inhabitants for an exceptional talent capable of passing his trials and eventually standing with him against the Chief Sovereign of Light. 15

He is the first God-Slaying Rat and has many descendants among rodent-type magical beasts, including god-level descendants. Before the story, he had unsuccessfully sought a way to awaken the God-Slaying Rat bloodline in his lineage. Bebe's birth as the second God-Slaying Rat greatly excited him; Chen Feng's activation of the bloodline as a human impressed him even more. 11 15

His longstanding enmity with Augusta, the Chief Sovereign of Light, began after Beirut seized the corpses of the Four Divine Beasts roughly ten thousand years earlier. The conflict left his Sovereign clone confined to the Yulan Continent, making regaining its freedom one of Beirut's central ambitions. 75 90

Appearance

Beirut usually appears in human form as a small, elderly man. He is often relaxed and smiling even when dealing with powerful figures or major events. 15 30

• Usually wears black robes. 30
• Often sits on a rocking chair while monitoring events from afar. 15 72
• Can manifest Sovereign projections as enormous faces condensed from Sovereign Power. 57 72

Personality

Beirut is patient, calculating, and deeply invested in cultivating the God-Slaying Rat bloodline. He watches promising descendants over long periods, provides lavish resources when he sees potential, and deliberately creates opportunities for them to gain experience and renown. 15 38 53

Despite his theatrical manner and occasional teasing, he is sincerely protective of those he accepts as family. He monitored Bebe to prevent any life-threatening danger, recognized Chen Feng as his grandson, protected Wushan Town through direct orders, and repeatedly prepared resources for Chen Feng's safety and growth. 15 20 27 61

He can be manipulative in presentation, such as pretending that the “great Sovereign” had specially approved Chen Feng's entry into the Necropolis of the Gods. However, his actions consistently prioritize his descendants' strength, survival, and future standing. 38 46

Abilities & Skills

Sovereign Authority

As the native Sovereign of the Yulan Continent, Beirut is considered invincible within the plane. His authority is sufficient to compel god-level magical beasts such as Dylin to obey his commands. 15 27

• Ordered all Saint Realm magical beasts to stay away from Wushan Town. 27
• Can project his presence through manifestations of Sovereign Power. 57
• Maintained control over the Yulan Continent even after his Sovereign clone regained freedom, purging foreign god-level experts before departing for the Infernal Realm. 100

Divine Sense and Surveillance

Beirut's divine sense can envelop the Yulan Continent, allowing him to detect significant breakthroughs and monitor those under his protection. 15 30

• Identified Bebe as the second God-Slaying Rat shortly after awakening from slumber. 15
• Detected Chen Feng's activated God-Slaying Rat bloodline in the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 15
• Immediately sensed Chen Feng's ascent to godhood. 30

God-Slaying Rat Bloodline

Beirut is the original God-Slaying Rat and regards the proliferation of this lineage as a long-term goal. The bloodline's innate divine ability, God-Slaying, is feared among Highgods; ordinary Highgods without Grand Perfection strength or a soul-defending Sovereign Artifact cannot withstand it. 15 68

• Recognized Chen Feng's human activation of the bloodline as unprecedented among his descendants. 15
• Considered Chen Feng and Bebe essential hopes for expanding the lineage beyond the Yulan Continent. 30 53

Divine Clones

Beirut possesses a Sovereign clone and a Darkness God Clone. His Darkness God Clone governs Youlan Prefecture in the Infernal Realm, though its Willpower is far below that of his Sovereign clone. 20 68

• His Infernal Realm clone serves as protection and a source of influence for Chen Feng's ventures. 61
• Possesses talents in the Darkness and Wind Elements. 98

Cultivation Guidance

Beirut has extensive knowledge of godhood, Laws, Profound Mysteries, divine clones, and the practical dangers of the higher planes. 20 47

• Explained internal and external godhood to Chen Feng and recommended condensing divine clones to pursue multiple Laws. 20
• Prepared an independent cultivation space with highly active elemental energy. 38
• Used the Necropolis of the Gods to address Chen Feng's lack of combat experience. 46
• Advised Chen Feng to avoid the Plane of Light because of Beirut's unresolved conflict with Augusta. 75

Equipment / Resources

• Three High-level Sovereign Artifacts — a black staff with fivefold material attack, armor with fivefold material defense, and a ring with fivefold soul defense; gifted to Beirut by Chen Feng. 87
• Godheads and divine sparks — maintains substantial reserves and provided Chen Feng with large quantities for cultivation. 38 39
• Highgod artifacts — prepared four longswords aligned with the Laws of Death, Lightning, Darkness, and Light for Chen Feng's divine clones. 39
• Sovereign Power — gave Chen Feng a supply for emergencies in the Infernal Realm. 61
• Ownerless Sovereign Sparks — retained three Sovereign Sparks after his freedom was secured, though he was willing to transfer them if Chen Feng required them. 90

Relationships

• Chen Feng — Adopted grandson and most valued junior. Beirut provides cultivation guidance, resources, protection, and opportunities to build Chen Feng's reputation; Chen Feng later repays him with High-level Sovereign Artifacts and helps secure his freedom. 20 38 61 87 89
• Bebe — The second God-Slaying Rat and Beirut's treasured descendant. Beirut constantly monitored Bebe while he was weak and treats him as family. 15 52
• Harry, Hart, and Harvey Beirut — Beirut's sons. Their comparatively ordinary God-Slaying Rat inheritance motivates their frustration over Chen Feng's rapid growth. 34 55
• Dylin — A god-level magical beast subject to Beirut's authority; Dylin obeys Beirut's order to keep Saint Realm magical beasts away from Wushan Town. 27
• Bloodridge Sovereign — Fellow Sovereign who proposed making Chen Feng a Sovereign's Emissary; Beirut refused because he had greater plans for Chen Feng. 68 72
• Augusta — Chief Sovereign of Light and Beirut's longstanding enemy. Their conflict kept Beirut's Sovereign clone confined to Yulan until the Sovereigns of the Four Rules intervened. 75 89 90
• Utrecht — Sovereign of Destruction who convened the Sovereign Conference concerning High-level Sovereign Artifacts and negotiated the settlement of Beirut's conflict with Augusta. 87 89
• Linley — A trusted associate of Chen Feng whom Beirut reassures and advises during Chen Feng's conflict with Diya. 110

Story Role / Major Arcs

Discovery of Bebe and Chen Feng

Beirut discovers Bebe, confirms him as the second God-Slaying Rat, and begins watching over the Yulan Continent to keep him safe. A year later, he notices Chen Feng's activated God-Slaying Rat bloodline and becomes intensely interested in the human descendant's extraordinary cultivation speed. 15

Recognition of Chen Feng

Beirut personally approaches Chen Feng in Wushan Town, reveals his divine-beast identity, and accepts him as a grandson. He explains the path to godhood and begins supplying Chen Feng with access to resources and protection. 19 20

Protector of Wushan Town

To safeguard Chen Feng's home, Beirut orders Dylin to keep Saint Realm magical beasts away from Wushan Town during the magical beast tide. 27

Necropolis of the Gods

Beirut provides Chen Feng with Godheads, a specialized cultivation environment, and a five-year deadline to prepare for the Necropolis of the Gods. He intends the trials to transform Chen Feng from a gifted cultivator into an experienced powerhouse. 38 46 47

After Chen Feng clears the sixteenth floor, Beirut appears through a Sovereign projection and honors his agreement by granting Chen Feng a soul-defending Sovereign Artifact. 57 58

Support for the Infernal Realm

When Chen Feng leaves Yulan for the Infernal Realm, Beirut supplies Inkstones, Sovereign Power, and the assurance that his Infernal Realm divine clone can offer protection. 61

Beirut later learns that Chen Feng has reached Asura-level strength before two hundred years of age. Although proud, he regrets that Chen Feng initially lacks suitable Water, Fire, and Earth divine clones for the ownerless Sovereign Sparks in Beirut's possession. 68

Chen Feng's Sovereign Ascension

Beirut is genuinely shocked when the Bloodridge Sovereign informs him that Chen Feng has become a Light-element Sovereign. After Chen Feng explains how he acquired Nahn Gavin's lost Sovereign Spark, Beirut reveals his history with Augusta and warns Chen Feng to avoid the Plane of Light. 72 75

Freedom from Yulan

At the Sovereign Conference, Chen Feng agrees to reveal the methods behind High-level Sovereign Artifacts and Willpower Runes. In return, the Sovereigns of the Four Rules arrange for Beirut's Sovereign clone to leave the Yulan Continent and settle the matter with Augusta. 89

Trust in Chen Feng's New Path

Chen Feng later offers Beirut a Dark Sovereign Spark and reveals his Small Portable Plane, multiple divine clones, and Talent Sensing Secret Technique. Beirut initially refuses the Sovereign Spark because he believes it is more valuable for Chen Feng's safety, but later leaves to refine it after Chen Feng explains his altered cultivation path. 96 98
