Background / History

Beirut had already become a Sovereign ten thousand years before the Necropolis expedition. During that era, he killed the Yemu Prefect Lord of Hell in two strikes and imprisoned the Prefect Lord's subordinate Karitz within the Necropolis of the Gods. 68

He created both a small cultivation plane in the Land of Chaos and a separate divine plane connected to the Necropolis of the Gods. He also built multiple Necropolises and opens them periodically to cultivate promising experts from the Yulan Plane. 60 65 66

Before directly meeting Bolan Baruch, Beirut secretly aided him through an archaic soul-defensive storage ring containing tens of thousands of Soul Golden Pearls. Bolan identified Beirut as the benefactor after refining the pearls. 61 64

Beirut recognized Bolan's exceptional talent, arranged the sixteenth-floor trial of the Necropolis, accepted him as a Sovereign's Emissary, and later took him as his disciple. 64 73 74 He continued to watch over Bolan during a dangerous ten-year seclusion and visited the small plane repeatedly to monitor his condition. 81

Appearance

Beirut is usually seen as an unassuming elderly man in plain black robes, an appearance that contrasts sharply with his standing as the Yulan Plane's true master. 64 81

• Long, loose black hair draped over his shoulders. 64
• Long black beard reaching his chest. 64
• Often sits or reclines in a rocking chair within his Metal Lifeform castle. 64 65
• His Sovereign Power avatar manifests as an enormous cyan face in the sky. 73

Personality

Beirut is playful, theatrical, and fond of teasing those around him. He staged Bolan's Sovereign-Emissary acceptance through his own Sovereign Power avatar, then openly amused himself at Bolan's reaction. 73 74

Despite this eccentricity, he is an attentive mentor who values talent, self-awareness, and practical experience. He praises Bolan for refusing an unwinnable challenge on the seventeenth floor, personally explains law mysteries from perspectives outside Bolan's own path, and arranges opportunities for Yulan's rising experts to grow. 65 74 77

His paternal side is stricter. His three sons fear him, and he deliberately suppresses their High God breakthroughs because he expects them to pursue Grand Perfection. 65 73
