Background / History

Hen Ren initially focused on supporting the cultivation of her disciples and associates. She captured four King-level monsters to trade with Hong and Thor for Jade Marrow and Dragon Blood, resources intended for Xu Ai’s growth. Hong and Thor regarded her as an equal and recognized her exceptional potential. 9

While on Earth, Hen Ren researched secret techniques and sought to complete the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. She studied the Golden Horned Beast’s Devour ability through her Trial function, identifying the Origin Core and Internal World as central to both devouring techniques and clone techniques. 27 46

After entering the wider universe, Hen Ren concealed her identity through an anonymous Virtual Universe account and rapidly rose through the Killing Field’s Battle Space. Her understanding of the Law of Water and the Law of Space drew Man Luo’s attention, leading to his investment in nutrient solution, an S-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent, and Immortal-created manuals for Water and Space. 49 51

Hen Ren competed in the Human Race Peak Genius Tournament, strategically waiting until other contestants had accumulated points before hunting high-value opponents in World Area 1. She later reached the finals and received a galaxy from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. 62 64 66

In Chaos City, she studied the Universe Chaos Stele, reaching its threshold after only seven days of enlightenment. She initially apprenticed under King Longyu, then selected Lord of Tian Shi—a top-tier Universe Overlord and disciple of the Chaos City Leader—as her teacher. 90 102 108 116

Hen Ren spent ten years searching Demon Mountain for the Ice Divine General inheritance. Within its abyss, she mastered the complete hundredfold body-amplitude technique but could not obtain the Ice Divine General title, as doing so required creating an ultimate masterpiece technique within one thousand years. 123 124 142

Under Lord of Tian Shi’s guidance, she created an ultimate technique from scratch over nearly four thousand years, then became the first to pass the World Lord-level Primal Tongtian Mountain. 146 148

Personality

Hen Ren is patient, analytical, and highly deliberate in combat. During the Genius Tournament preliminaries, she avoided low-point opponents and waited for the battlefield to produce more valuable targets. 62 64

She consistently prioritizes long-term cultivation over immediate danger or recognition. She declined mercenary training because she believed her potential had not yet been fully developed, and later delayed external training until she had created her own ultimate technique. 57 143

Despite her exceptional talent, Hen Ren remains restrained about revealing her full capabilities. She held back during Battle Space duels to study opponents’ techniques and preserve her hidden cards. 51
