Lu Feiming

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Lu Feiming is a newly created aspect of Truth, originally intended to address the aftermath of the conflict between the Ancient God and the Universe. Xu Yuan’s Fate Deception suppresses his knowledge of that origin, leaving him with memories of growing up as a human orphan. In the history he believes, a Nine-Tailed Fox destroyed his Ninefold Nether village and its people sealed the Monster inside him. Xu Yuan arranges his enrollment at Luofu and shares a dorm room with him 473 484.

Lu initially finds classes dull, but becomes fascinated by human dreams. Conversations with Xu Yuan lead him to seek ordinary pleasures, including a day at the beach and fishing. He later settles in the Imperial Capital and opens Little Red Flower Pet Kindergarten, where he personally cares for animals 473 475 518 521 637.

After learning his origin, Lu separates his assigned Mission from himself. The separation takes roughly thirty percent of his power, but frees him to choose a human life. His Mission becomes a separate, hostile figure, and Lu continues to oppose threats to the Three Realms 534 535 604 637.

Appearance

Lu Feiming is a tall man with an ordinary-looking face. At his shop, he wears a colorful T-shirt advertising Little Red Flower Pet Kindergarten 523.

• He is seen carrying cigarettes and smoking during conversations 528 587.
• Xu Yuan lends him cultivator’s clothes before an Imperial Palace banquet so his shop T-shirt will draw less attention 529.

Personality

Lu is curious about what people want from life. He develops an ability to perceive dreams, seeks conversation even while exploring dangerous ruins, and comes to value simple experiences over destruction 475 476 490.

He is fiercely loyal to Xu Yuan, but his immense strength makes his responses to threats severe. He quietly eliminates forces targeting his friend, while Xu Yuan sometimes has to guide him through ordinary matters such as how to treat an employee 518 521 528.

Abilities & Skills

Origin of Truth and combat

• Lu can overpower formidable enemies through physical force; he throws a world-destroying monster out of the world and destroys Sara’s avatar with controlled punches that leave his pet shop intact 475 595.
• Mystic Arts used by an ambushing group fail to affect him 490.
• He can vanish from one location and appear at another without an observable teleportation ripple 475.

Dreams

• He uses dreams to understand people and enemies, including the aims of a monster and an opponent’s Imago 481 490.

Imago and Laws

• Xu Yuan introduces him to the Imago Method; Lu shares his own insights in return, including how an Imago can turn illusion into reality and gain combat power from Law 477.
