Background
Mao Jiu first appeared at Super God Academy as an orphan adopted by Kieran. Kieran had shown her and Karl a photograph of Su Yu before his arrival, allowing her to recognize him immediately. At the time, she regarded Su Yu as the academy's vice-principal and addressed him with deference. 114 115
Inspired by Su Yu's swordsmanship, Mao Jiu remained on the training field long after class ended. Her focused practice led her to comprehend Sword Qi within hours, after which Su Yu personally taught her the agile Tianxuan Nine Swords and its associated footwork, Tianxuan Step. 117
She accompanied Su Yu to Kaimu Star, where he arranged practical battles against Armor Warriors to refine her Sword Dao. Mao Jiu defeated the Barbarian Bear and Ancient Crane Armor Warriors through superior mobility, Sword Qi, and Tianxuan Nine Swords, while avoiding lethal attacks. 119 120 121
After years of traveling the universe together, Mao Jiu and Su Yu became a couple. She later recovered the memories she had sealed before traveling the Myriad Realms and disclosed that she was the Space-Time Dominator. 125 129 141
