Background / History

Ancient Rule and Fall

Eight thousand years before her descent, the Snake God stood among the four supreme magical-beast experts alongside the Dragon Emperor of the Ancient Void Dragons, the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix, and the Ancient Heavenly Snake. She discovered the Nine Nether Yellow Springs in the Beast Region and established an independent world, the Nine Nether Underground Kingdom, where her people lived 19.

According to her account, severe bloodline degeneration weakened her people. The Ancient Heavenly Snake invaded while she was in secluded cultivation, and she escorted a branch of her followers to the Northwest Continent. These refugees became the present Snake-People Tribe. She subsequently lost her body, escaping only as a soul; her former homeland passed to the Ancient Heavenly Snake’s descendants, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan 19.

The Medusa Lineage

The Snake God created the Medusa Lineage to eventually produce a successor with a bloodline stronger than her own, whose body she could possess to live again. She also established the tribe’s laws and the education that taught every queen to devote herself to restoring the tribe’s glory. The Priest Lineage remained her trusted followers and secretly knew she still existed 12 19.

Long Xiao exposed the queens’ mysterious deaths as part of this scheme, and the Snake God admitted that he had uncovered her plan. He described her practice of possessing suitable queens, abandoning their bodies when her soul weakened, and returning to the altar to recover. He also identified the rule requiring one of two sisters hatched from the same egg to die as a means of selecting a stronger vessel 19 20.

Appearance

The Snake God manifests as an ethereal woman whose beauty rivals Medusa’s, with an even more imposing ancestral majesty 16.

• Soul form: Hazy and multicolored, resembling flawless nine-colored crystal 16.
• Eyes: Initially described as deep and star-like; later identified as serpentine 16 19.
• Clothing: Multicolored robes during her public descent 18.
• Humanoid form: Appears with a human upper body and serpent tail, then changes the tail into legs 18.
• Python form: Becomes an enormous, illusory seven-colored python while struggling against Long Xiao’s restraints 22.

Personality

The Snake God treats her descendants’ lives as resources for her resurrection. She presents Medusa’s sacrifice as a duty to the tribe, exploiting the loyalty she deliberately cultivated through generations of education. When the tribe rejects her, she calls them traitors and threatens to destroy them 19 20.

Her confidence rests on her former supremacy and overwhelming cultivation advantage. Although she recognizes Long Xiao’s unusual abilities, she initially dismisses his resistance as futile. Her composure collapses when he restrains her, and she attempts to save herself by threatening the poisoned tribespeople 21 22.

Abilities & Skills

Soul Survival and Possession

She survives the destruction of her original body and remains hidden for eight thousand years while seeking a superior vessel 19.

• Uses the Medusa succession system to obtain bodies and sustain her resurrection scheme 19 20.
• Rests beneath the altar when her soul requires recovery 12 16 20.
• Medusa’s evolved bloodline makes her the desired vessel, but her independence from altar baptism prevents another unnoticed takeover 12 19.

Royal Bloodline Pressure

Her ancestral bloodline exerts instinctive pressure over the Snake-People 18.

• Forces the assembled tribespeople to prostrate themselves during her descent.
• Cannot subdue Medusa, whose divine-beast bloodline surpasses her own 18.

Seven-Colored Energy and Heavenly-Tier Dou Technique

She attacks with seven-colored mist, beams, and radiance capable of devastating the surrounding desert 20 21.

• Produces a sandstorm and pressure strong enough to collapse space 20.
• Counters Long Xiao’s Dragon God Seal with a rainbow beam 21.
• Uses an unnamed Heavenly-Tier Dou Technique that locks onto its target, preventing escape even through spatial jumps 21.
• Compresses the attack into a single point at the moment of collision, doubling its attack power and piercing Long Xiao’s chest 21.

Spatial Control and Ambushes

Her experience as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng gives her command over heaven-and-earth power beyond that of an ordinary Half-Saint 22.

• Moves beyond Long Xiao’s initial soul perception and attacks from behind 21.
• Strikes from beneath the desert with a massive seven-colored tail 21 22.
• Immobilizes Long Xiao with spatial pressure, using his captivity to coerce Medusa 22.

Limits and Vulnerabilities

• Powerful exchanges make her form increasingly insubstantial 21.
• Cannot escape restraints formed from the laws of heaven and earth through Long Xiao’s Heaven Clan bloodline 22.
• Fails to withstand the Dao-Slaying Sword 22.

Relationships

• High Priest — Devoted servant who prepares her descent and delivers poisoned Snake God Wine. His lineage has served her since the tribe’s ancient displacement 12 16 17 19.
• Queen Medusa — Descendant and intended resurrection vessel. The Snake God exploits her devotion to the tribe before threatening Long Xiao to force her compliance 19 22.
• Long Xiao — Opponent who exposes her scheme, neutralizes the tribe’s poison, and kills her 19 20 22.
• Ancient Heavenly Snake — Ancient enemy who invaded her kingdom; she vows to reclaim the homeland occupied by his descendants 19.
• Snake-People Tribe — Descendants who initially revere her as their greatest ancestor, but choose Medusa after learning the truth about the succession system 18 20.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Attempted Resurrection

Medusa’s evolution allows the High Priest to prepare the Snake God’s descent ahead of schedule. The Snake God orders him to have Medusa and Long Xiao drink Snake God Wine, presented as a blessing for their union. Long Xiao instead identifies Bewildering Soul Poison in the cups and stops Medusa from drinking 11 12 16 17 18.

After the poisoning attempt is exposed, the High Priest raises an ancient altar and summons the Snake God through a formation in the sky. She announces her return as ruler, reveals her identity as the first Queen Medusa, and demands Medusa’s body. Long Xiao’s accusations expose the cost of her supposed guardianship, prompting the tribe to reaffirm its loyalty to its current queen 18 19 20.

Battle and Death

The Snake God severely wounds Long Xiao and nearly forces Medusa onto the altar by threatening his life. Long Xiao responds by burning his bloodline power to invoke the laws of heaven and earth, binding her soul 21 22.

Her final threat—that the entire tribe will die from her poison—fails because Long Xiao’s banquet wine has already cured them. He kills her with the Dao-Slaying Sword, devastating the surrounding desert. The tribe subsequently begins reconstruction, while the battle strengthens Medusa’s determination never again to become a vulnerability for Long Xiao 22 24 40.
