Background

Ren is a transmigrator from Earth who spent thirty million years cultivating in Hell. He became the City Lord of Iceblood City and earned the title “Iceblood Fiend” before leaving seclusion to challenge Liang'an Prefecture Lord Alfred, hoping to overcome his cultivation bottleneck. 1

His challenge began in Liang'an City's High-God Battlefield, where he rapidly accumulated victories and drew the attention of the prefecture, the Four Divine Beasts Clan, and other powerful observers. 3 6

Personality

Ren is composed and difficult to provoke. He remains calm against weaker opponents, powerful Asuras, and hostile clan members alike, favoring measured counters over displays of panic or arrogance. 4 9 24

He is also pragmatic and ruthless when dealing with threats. After Alfred attempted to flee, Ren pursued and killed him; he later killed Conofier and Emmanuel despite their threats to invoke the Four Divine Beasts Clan. 16 17 26

Despite this severity, Ren can be generous when it costs him little. He rewarded Bierde with a Spatial Ring full of Inkstones after receiving directions in the Netherworld. 33
