Background / History

Jiang Han transmigrated into the Battle Through the Heavens Plane and immediately faced a Brown-Yellow Male Tiger. He activated the Gaze System, gained enough power to kill it, then traveled to Wutan City and entered the Xiao Family as a servant. 1

While assigned to clean the Bluestone Training Ground, Jiang Han witnessed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi test. He had originally intended to approach Xiao Zhan, but changed his plans after recognizing Xiao Yan as the plane's Child of Destiny. 1

His early rise within the Dou Qi system was extraordinarily rapid. After gaining power through gazing, he killed the white-robed youth and Nalan Yanran, escaped the Xiao Family, and defeated the Yun Lan Sect's Ge Ye with the Extreme Blade Three Styles. 3 4

After reaching the Dou Emperor realm, Jiang Han opened a passage that released the continent's missing Source Qi. He then traveled through a chaotic world and entered the Shrouding the Heavens Plane, where he fused with a soul fragment and reunited with Ye Fan and Pang Bo on Mars. 87

Appearance

Jiang Han is repeatedly described as exceptionally handsome and carries himself with composed, imposing bearing. He has appeared in green robes, azure robes, black Daoist robes, and garments marked with celestial or star patterns. 11 161 533 580

  • Tall and upright, with a calm, deep gaze that makes onlookers reluctant to approach. 251
  • Described as a strikingly handsome young man in a green robe during his return to Wutan City. 11
  • His aura can be concealed completely, causing even powerful cultivators to perceive him as ordinary. 636
  • In battle, he can manifest overwhelming forms, including a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, a Thunder Giant, and immense metallic palms. 283 483 358

Personality

Jiang Han is calm and calculating under pressure. He frequently assesses opponents before acting, uses superior power efficiently, and conceals information when public knowledge could threaten his advantage. After defeating the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master, he eliminated witnesses to prevent news of the battle from spreading. 64

He is ruthless toward those who attempt to kill him or threaten people under his protection. He killed Nalan Yanran and the white-robed youth after they attacked him with swords, destroyed hostile forces in the Life Forbidden Zones, and warned the Shi Family that he would flatten Stone Country if they targeted Shi Hao again. 3 118 550

Despite this severity, Jiang Han protects companions and disciples. He helped Lin Lei travel to Hell to resurrect his father, arranged support for Ye Fan and Pang Bo, and selected Shi Hao as someone capable of leading humanity to its peak. 101 284 538

He also professes a belief in free will and personal choice, arguing that even people he regards as “characters in a book” retain the right to choose their futures. 294 552
