Background

Gu Yi is Gu Rong's grandson and initially belongs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. By age twelve, he has already reached level 35 as a Battle Soul Elder, making him known as the sect's foremost genius. He later leaves the sect and enters Spirit Hall, while maintaining that his ultimate allegiance is to himself and the people he loves. 58 71 109

He aids Zhu Zhuqing after finding her wounded and under attack, killing her pursuers with bone needles and treating her injury. Their initial distrust gradually becomes mutual affection, and Gu Yi later publicly confirms their relationship. 3 47 72

During the Titan Giant Ape's attack, Gu Yi teleports Xiao Wu to safety and remains behind so the others can escape. Within the Endless Bone Domain, he uses a Titled Douluo Experience Card that grants him the level 98 Golden Crocodile King Martial Soul temporarily. He defeats and subdues the Titan Giant Ape, later calling on it as Er Ming. 28 31 185

Gu Yi becomes involved with Spirit Hall after being pursued by both the Star Luo Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Though he works under Bibi Dong for a time, he privately considers her a future enemy and pursues power primarily to protect his family. 109 168

He undertakes the Asura God's trials, clearing the Slaughter City challenge and gaining the Slaughter God's Domain. The domain later evolves into the Asura Domain. After completing the inheritance, Gu Yi ascends as the Asura God and ultimately accepts management of the God Realm Central Hub. 156 173 190 224 303 304

• Dark-purple armor marked by irregular eye-like patterns and a ghost-face motif on the chest. 224

Personality

Gu Yi is calm, calculating, and unusually confident in combat. He prefers exploiting an opponent's weaknesses over meeting force with force, repeatedly using spatial control, domain techniques, and positioning to dictate battles. 25 59 212

Despite his indifference toward threats and authority, he is fiercely protective of those he considers family or companions. He saves Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and others when they are endangered, and later holds Qian Daoliu responsible when Gu Rong is nearly killed. 3 28 52 281

His stated goal is not power for its own sake, but a peaceful life with Zhu Zhuqing and the ability to protect his family. He nevertheless accepts burdensome authority when necessary to prevent threats to them. 177 303
