Background / History

Grey Cat waited in the Magic City Catacombs for someone to bring it treats. Zhang Tao won its favor with modern cat food, and it repaid him with a Rank 9 Monster Beast. After sensing Zhang Tao’s unusual aura and potential to become an exceptionally powerful Emperor, it chose to follow him into the human world. 13 14

Though it usually presented itself as a food-loving house cat, Grey Cat was already an Emperor-rank Monster Beast. It left its former life with Gong Juanzi—where it had apparently subsisted on grass—for roasted duck, delicacies, and a VIP arrangement at a Kyoto restaurant. 15 16

Grey Cat repeatedly aided Zhang Tao’s growth. It provided information from the Origin World, stole Life Essence and treasures from Catacomb royal treasuries, gave Zhang Tao cultivation resources, and sought out the God Forger to repair its divine artifacts. It also named Zhang Tao captain of its Cat Protection Squad and secured the repaired God-Slaying Blade for him. 22 35 78 82

While exploring the Forbidden Sea and Heavenly Realm fragments with Zhang Tao, it hunted True God-rank fish, rediscovered its cat nest in the Spirit Emperor Palace, and relied on Zhang Tao’s protection when stronger enemies intervened. 127 130

At Zhang Tao’s request, Grey Cat became Fang Ping’s cultivation reference and guided his skull tempering after Fang Ping reached Rank 8. 206 207

Li Zhen later brought Grey Cat into the Human Realm and left it with Su Yu as a protector. Grey Cat lived alongside Su Yu’s family for years, guarded him during cultivation, supplied him with stolen Heavenly Origin Fruits and Monster Beast meat, and intervened against attackers. 294 302 306

Grey Cat eventually entered Heaven Gate, delivered messages between the Human Emperor, King Wen, Martial King, and Heaven Suppressing King, and retrieved Great Daos for the Human Emperor’s side. It later opened a heaven in the Chaos and brought Su Yu to observe. 339 340 347 348

Appearance

Grey Cat is commonly perceived as a large, fat, harmless-looking cat despite its overwhelming strength. Su Yu first finds it in the Human Realm as a fiery red-furred cat; it can also restrain its weight enough for a child to lift it. 295

• Speaks in a soft, childish voice. 13
• Often described as fat, lazy, and perpetually focused on food. 79 303
• Can appear unnoticed even before Rank 9 experts. 181
• Its eyes can display Time Stars when examining powerful beings. 337

Personality

Grey Cat is hedonistic, curious, and shamelessly food-motivated. It judges places, people, and even entire races by what they can feed it, yet is willing to exchange help for benefits or future meals. 14 16 333 340

It often acts muddleheaded or forgetful, but its apparent laziness conceals ancient knowledge, sharp instincts, and a habit of investing in people it believes have extraordinary potential. It followed Zhang Tao after sensing his future, then similarly took interest in Su Yu after recognizing his unusual fate. 14 22 295 318

Grey Cat insists that it “doesn’t fight,” preferring others—especially members of its Cat Protection Squad—to handle conflicts. When angered or threatened, however, it casually humiliates opponents far beneath its actual level. 78 80 337
