Background

Shui Wuyuan was the youngest of the ancient gods. Newly born as the Rain God, he refused companionship and instead observed the world through rain and water. He repeatedly challenged other gods to fights, including stronger gods who initially defeated him with little difficulty. 219

His most formative defeat came at the hands of He Qinglan. He Qinglan seized control of Shui Wuyuan's rain, bound him with water chains, and slammed him into the ground. Rather than abandoning his ambition, Shui Wuyuan began cultivating and fighting in earnest. 219

Over time, he trained through repeated defeats, re-challenged the gods from weakest to strongest, and surpassed several powerful ancient deities before their long slumber. His rise created enduring grudges, particularly with gods he later defeated and compelled to call him “boss.” 49

Appearance

Shui Wuyuan possesses a flawless divine appearance befitting an entity formed from source-less water. His imposing, cold beauty contrasts sharply with He Qinglan's gentler presence. 35

• Brows described as “cold peaks,” with thin lips and a high nose. 35
• Pale gray eyes that darken markedly when enraged or affected by demonic power. 35 90
• Commonly appears in custom-made suits and conspicuously expensive clothing. 44
• His intimidating aura becomes visibly more sinister when he draws on his Half-Demon power. 90

Personality

Shui Wuyuan is proud, competitive, sharp-tongued, and openly convinced of his own superiority. For five years, the public has recognized that his extravagant spending, arrogance, and habit of verbally humiliating others are genuine aspects of his personality rather than a cultivated public image. 23

His bravado is paired with exceptional persistence. Having spent his early existence losing fights, he continued training and challenging stronger gods until he could defeat them. His insistence on being acknowledged as the strongest god is rooted in this history of humiliation and self-improvement. 49

Around He Qinglan, Shui Wuyuan becomes conspicuously childish, jealous, and needy. He follows Qinglan despite being told to leave, flaunts his wealth for attention, reacts aggressively to perceived rivals, and repeatedly seeks reassurance that he is worthy of Qinglan. 10 66 138 His protectiveness is genuine, however: threats to He Qinglan can override his pride and provoke immediate, overwhelming retaliation. 35 66

Abilities & Skills

Rain and Sourcewater Manipulation

As the Rain God, Shui Wuyuan commands rain and related Sourcewater Power on a vast scale.

• Summons rain, storms, hail, and localized downpours; his arrival in Bicheng is accompanied by sudden rain despite a clear forecast. 9 11
• Forms rain into arrows, chains, barriers, dragons, and enormous constructs such as a transparent palm. 68 158 208
• Can use rain to restrain enemies, obscure events from human witnesses, and suppress disasters. 64 102
• Searches large areas by dispersing countless droplets through the air to locate people affected by Corrupting Power. 70
• His rain can be seized and redirected by He Qinglan, whose Sourcewater Power has a superior affinity for water. 219

Divine Perception and Containment

Shui Wuyuan can perceive supernatural contamination and identify dangerous divine objects.

• Detects the dense Corrupting Miasma surrounding the Qi family home. 14
• Identifies the corrupted Life Essence Spirit Branch and seals it inside a sphere of water when He Qinglan lacks sufficient Spiritual Power to contain it. 15
• Recognizes the threat posed by stolen divine artifacts and the Human-Deity Group's attempts to exploit them. 36 68

Combat Ability

Shui Wuyuan is one of the strongest active gods and an experienced combatant.

• Defeated numerous ancient gods after centuries of relentless training. 49
• Can incapacitate ordinary attackers with casual physical force, including slaps, kicks, and precise rain-based punishment. 48
• Fights with ruthless efficiency; when protecting He Qinglan, he kills Mu San instantly with raindrops. 68
• Overwhelms Long Xiao's borrowed Divine-Demonic Power and dismisses his misuse of incompatible stolen powers as amateurish. 102
• His greatest limitation is his emotional volatility: anger, jealousy, and corruption can push him toward excessive violence. 66 80

Half-Demon Body

Shui Wuyuan's long exposure to Corrupting Power transformed him into a Half-Demon.

• Absorbs and dissolves a massive fiendish dragon made from Corrupting Power, demonstrating strength far beyond He Qinglan's expectations. 90
• Retains consciousness and moral restraint for much of his demonification, but fears abandonment and admits he could become dangerously possessive. 91
• Is forcibly driven into a near-mindless Demon God state by Deep Earth, leaving He Qinglan as the only person he instinctively refuses to harm. 202 203
• His merged Origin Power with He Qinglan prevents complete demonification, but makes their lives inseparable. 208

Equipment and Resources

• Custom “Vegetable Phone” — A globally limited custom phone used to introduce He Qinglan to modern shopping apps and internet access. 22
• Crystal Cottage — A high-tech portable riverside home commissioned and gifted to He Qinglan; it functions as a solar-powered house and mobile vehicle. 24
• Shui Corporation resources — Uses private security, construction teams, luxury transport, research assets, and wealth to support investigations and protect civilians. 44 57

Relationships

• He Qinglan — Ancient rival, closest companion, and romantic partner. Shui Wuyuan's first crushing defeat by Qinglan became the foundation of his obsession with growing stronger; their Divine Souls later fuse to prevent Shui Wuyuan's complete demonification. 219 208 215
• Chiyan — Fire God and longtime rival. Chiyan's early mockery helped provoke Shui Wuyuan's battle obsession; their hostility later intensifies over Chiyan's closeness with He Qinglan, though they fight together against larger threats. 219 53 66
• Mountain Shaman — Former opponent whom Shui Wuyuan later defeated. Shui Wuyuan continues demanding that Mountain Shaman honor an old promise to call him “boss.” 49
• Deep Earth — Enemy during the final conflict. Deep Earth's manipulation of Shui Wuyuan's corruption and his warnings to He Qinglan provoke Shui Wuyuan's violent hostility. 80 99
• Lei Aotian — Captain of the Dragon-Slaying Group. Lei initially investigates Shui Wuyuan as a possible supernatural threat before seeking the gods' aid against escalating disasters. 111 119
• Shi Lin — His secretary, who recognizes that Shui Wuyuan's pleased expression usually signals that someone is about to be verbally destroyed. 7

Story Role / Major Arcs

Reunion at Qinglan River

Shui Wuyuan recognizes the viral “Trash-Picking Immortal Pretty Boy” as the weakened Qinglan River God. Amused by He Qinglan's mortal life but irritated by his dismissal, he appears at the riverbank amid sudden rain and openly reintroduces himself. 7 9

He follows He Qinglan during the river cleanup, initially refusing to pick up trash because of his status, then assists through water manipulation and drives away dishonest streamers with a supernatural storm. 10 11

Investigation of Corrupting Miasma

Shui Wuyuan joins He Qinglan in investigating the Qi family's corruption, identifies the tainted Life Essence Spirit Branch, and supplies the water-based containment He Qinglan cannot maintain alone. 14 15

He continues accompanying Qinglan through Linhe Village and the Human-Deity Group investigation. Although he often claims indifference toward humans, he uses his influence to dismantle a road-extortion scheme and install surveillance measures to protect travelers. 57

Conflict with the Human-Deity Group

After Mu San attacks He Qinglan for the corrupted spirit branch, Shui Wuyuan intervenes immediately and kills Mu San with rain. He subsequently supports Qinglan's conclusion that the remaining gods must be awakened before the Human-Deity Group can target them. 68

His retained Origin Power makes him uniquely difficult for humans to exploit, unlike gods whose treasures or external power sources were stolen during their long slumber. 36

Demonification and the Meng City Crisis

Shui Wuyuan reveals his Half-Demon Body while protecting He Qinglan and Wind Spiral from a Corrupting-Power dragon. He initially denies that he has fallen to demonhood, but eventually admits that pollution in the world's waters corrupted him. 90 91

He Qinglan accepts Shui Wuyuan's condition as long as he remains himself, strengthening their bond even as Shui Wuyuan becomes increasingly clingy and afraid of abandonment. 91

Great Cataclysm

Deep Earth forcibly infuses Shui Wuyuan with Corrupting Power, using him as a potential weapon of global destruction. Nearly mindless, Shui Wuyuan unleashes catastrophic rainfall across Huazhou and beyond, but retains enough attachment to avoid directly harming He Qinglan. 202 203

During the final battle, Shui Wuyuan and He Qinglan jointly suppress worldwide disasters and confront Long Xiao. Shui Wuyuan's rain barriers and direct attacks demonstrate his superiority over Long Xiao's unstable borrowed powers. 102 208

Aftermath

Three years after the Great Cataclysm, Shui Wuyuan gives his Origin Power to He Qinglan and becomes weaker, though he remains affectionate, demanding, and eager to receive Qinglan's attention. 215
