Background / History

Qi Tian created the clan from the original Jin Shi tribe on Gold Soul Planet. After empowering Jin Shi, Iron Hand, and Mulberry Leaf with Golden Liquid, he diluted further drops to transform roughly five hundred tribespeople. The transformed humans could assume five-meter-tall Golden Buddha Forms, while their descendants inherited the same potential. Qi Tian named this new race the Gold Soul Clan and took the title Buddha Lord. 6 7

Under Qi Tian’s direction, the clan explored and unified Gold Soul Planet. Nearby tribes were absorbed, while distant tribes were subdued, protected from powerful beasts, and introduced to worship of the Buddha Lord. The clan’s expansion accelerated the planet’s transition from scattered tribes to city-building civilization. 7 12

After decades, the Gold Soul Clan numbered around ten thousand. Qi Tian recognized them as his bloodline descendants, summoned them to the Holy Temple through their bloodline connection, bestowed the surname Qi, and formally established the clan. Qi Jingshi, Qi Tianshou, and Qi Shangye became the three elders, while Qi Shixuan became the first Clan Leader. 12 14

The clan’s original bloodline capacity was limited to 10,081 members. New awakenings required recognition from the clan bloodline, which Qi Tian explained was tied to one’s care for the clan and, in practice, faith in him. 19

After entering the wider universe, Qi Tian funded the clan’s cultivation, established dojos and commercial operations, and sent members to life-bearing planets to spread faith and develop independently. By the time of his Domain Lord breakthrough, the clan’s bloodline shackles broke, allowing direct and collateral descendants to awaken their Golden Buddha Forms in large numbers. 43 76 149

Qi Tian later reorganized the clan’s territory into the Gold Soul Star System and established the Gold Soul Elementary Empire, with Qi Shixuan unanimously elected Emperor. Gold Soul Star became the clan’s holy land, reserved for members who had awakened the Indestructible Golden Body. 160
