Background / History
Bulieni was the longtime companion of the Light Beast God Chenxi, whom he affectionately and dismissively calls the “Old Mystic” or “old charlatan.” Chenxi once acquired an Evolution Heart from a Machine Race opponent and used it to create Bulieni a body, enabling the intelligent lifeform to cultivate. Bulieni eventually became an Immortal, then a Universe Venerable and Universe Overlord-level existence; he also states that he once led a Machine Empire. 35 196
While exploring a universe secret realm alone, Bulieni encountered a life-threatening danger. Chenxi arrived after foreseeing the crisis and preserved only part of Bulieni's divine body and consciousness. Chenxi then sealed the damaged divine body in the World Ring, while Bulieni's consciousness survived within an auxiliary light brain through an extremely rare treasure. The prolonged sealing prevented his divine body from restoring itself effectively. 35
Luo Zhiyuan releases Bulieni from Chenxi's World Ring on Venus. Initially enraged, Bulieni becomes grief-stricken after learning that Chenxi has died. He nevertheless accepts Luo Zhiyuan as Chenxi's successor and begins arranging his cultivation, treasure use, combat training, and future path. 16 18
Chenxi later leaves teaching materials specifically intended to help Bulieni become a qualified teacher for Luo Zhiyuan. Bulieni continues this responsibility, researching techniques, planning training regimes, and safeguarding Chenxi's legacy. 26
Appearance
Bulieni normally appears in the Virtual Universe as a shrunken, ordinary-looking Earth youth with pure white eyes. He deliberately chose a humanlike appearance because he considered it more intimate and less boring than an unusual form. 18
- Ordinary Earth-youth appearance in the Virtual Universe. 18
- Pure white eyes are his most distinctive feature. 18
- During Alo's intervention, he temporarily manifests in physical form as a figure less than one meter tall matching his virtual appearance. 178
Personality
Bulieni is blunt, proud, and frequently sarcastic. He belittles inferior equipment, dismisses weak techniques, and calls younger or weaker beings “little fellows,” habits shaped by both his ancient age and former Universe Overlord-level strength. 18 35
Despite his abrasive manner, he is deeply loyal and emotional. Chenxi's death leaves him grieving, while his reunion with Alo moves him to tears. Alo describes him as someone who fears solitude and hates being alone. 16 178 187
He is also intensely protective of Luo Zhiyuan. When Universe Overlord Yidinas probes Luo Zhiyuan's soul, Bulieni briefly considers sacrificing his own divine body and self-destructing the World Ring to prevent Luo Zhiyuan from being soul-controlled. 211
Abilities & Skills
Cultivation Guidance
Bulieni serves as Luo Zhiyuan's primary mentor, using his experience to shape a balanced and sustainable cultivation path.
- Urges Luo Zhiyuan to develop as both a fighter and spirit reader rather than focusing solely on illusion techniques. 18
- Warns that Luo Zhiyuan lacks the foundation to create truly effective high-level secret techniques early on. 18
- Designs Virtual Universe opponents and training plans tailored to Luo Zhiyuan's weaknesses. 22 25
- Advises on clone selection, weapons, law comprehension, physical-force training, soul defense, and survival methods. 18 35 138 189
Ancient Knowledge and Research
Having existed across countless epochs, Bulieni possesses broad—though not complete—knowledge of major races, treasures, historical events, and cultivation principles.
- Identifies Luo Zhiyuan's peak bloodline and its potential to reach peak World Lord level without bottlenecks. 16
- Explains Chenxi's stored treasures, Beast God incarnation, and Beast God Essence Blood. 17
- Researches current information through the Virtual Universe after being sealed for countless epochs. 18 22
- Records local intelligence, simulates maps, operates detectors, and assists with mission planning. 157 162
Consciousness Suppression
Bulieni's remaining consciousness retains formidable pressure despite his damaged state.
- Silences Babata with a single glare, causing the auxiliary intelligence to feel suppression more terrifying than the being that killed Hu Yanbo. 18
- Can only transfer part of his consciousness into the Machine Race spaceship because its systems cannot fully withstand him. 35
- Correctly identifies Yidinas's divine-power aura as belonging to a Universe Overlord-level existence. 211
Machine Race Spaceship Control
Bulieni uses the purchased E9-class Machine Race spaceship as a substitute body and mobile support platform.
- Takes control through a transceiver installed in the ship's main control room. 35
- His partial control is described as comparable to that of a barely qualified Marquis-level Immortal. 35
- Can independently operate the ship's 18 E5-class laser cannons and enhance their attacks with law-infused effects. 35
- Fires the spaceship's laser cannon to damage a Temple spaceship during the rescue of Ai Chen. 183
Temporary Manifestation
Bulieni can temporarily obtain a visible body through the combined remaining will of Chenxi and Alo.
- Alo grants him manifestation within Alo's Will Space, allowing Bulieni to see and physically interact with Alo. 178
- The manifestation is temporary and does not restore Bulieni's sealed divine body. 178
Equipment / Items
- World Ring — Contains Bulieni's sealed divine body and serves as his connection to Luo Zhiyuan. 35

- Large- and small-scale detectors — Acquired for future missions and operated with Bulieni's assistance. 131 139
Relationships
- Luo Zhiyuan — Master, student, and close companion. Bulieni accepts responsibility for teaching Chenxi's disciple, provides constant guidance, and is willing to risk self-destruction to protect him. 16 26 211
- Light Beast God Chenxi — Former master and companion. Chenxi created Bulieni's cultivable body, saved him after his secret-realm crisis, and prepared teaching materials for him before his death. 26 35
- Metal Beast God Alo — Ancient friend and fellow companion of Chenxi. Bulieni mourns Alo's fall and later reunites with him through a temporary manifestation. 43 178
- Babata — Another auxiliary intelligence whom Bulieni considers crude and inferior; he destroys Babata's auxiliary light brain and intimidates him into silence. 18
- Ai Chen — Luo Zhiyuan asks Bulieni to find suitable cultivation techniques for her, hoping she may eventually travel with both of them. 187
- Xingxing — Luo Zhiyuan's evolved Star-Eating Grass. Bulieni helps oversee its growth and works alongside it to assist Luo Zhiyuan. 35 161
