Dongguan

Power Progression

Background / History

Early life on Earth

Dongguan's earliest accessible memories were of wandering between refugee camps and receiving relief supplies. On December 30, 2021, he entered Northern Frontier Base City with refugees. No records of his past were found; he identified “Dongguan” as his given name and said he had forgotten his surname 4 29.

He joined the Dragon Shadow Squad the following year alongside Yang Bei. A monster tide in 2025 killed Captain Zhang and the other original members, leaving only Dongguan and Yang Bei alive. Dongguan rebuilt the squad as its second captain, while the two survivors helped support their fallen teammates' families 4 6.

After becoming a War God, he continued taking the squad on hunts for about a year. The growing strength gap made the arrangement impractical, and he disbanded the squad in 2035. He subsequently traveled the world and hunted alone, taking up temporary residence in Jiangnan Base City in 2056 4 6.

Hidden ancestry

Meeting Luo Feng and changing events surrounding the Tiger Fang Squad restored Dongguan's transmigrator memories. This completed his previously incomplete personality, but did not explain his ancestry or stop the worsening noise in his mind 3 7.

At Ruins No. 32, the ship intelligence Qiong identified him as Dongguan Qiong Luo. A blood test confirmed his identity and granted him ownership of the Qiongluo Ship and leadership of the Qiong Luo Clan 32 33.

His father was World Lord Dong Xuan Qiong Luo, and his mother was Domain Lord Xia Lan Qiong Luo. Their enemy, King Huozhen, was powerful even among King-level Immortals. Although his father had principally hoped he would preserve the clan and remain hidden, Dongguan vowed to avenge his parents and people 33 34.

Dongguan later explained to Luo Feng and Chaos City Lord that his mother's accident during pregnancy should have prevented his survival. Instead, he was born nearly four thousand years later with an apparently incomplete soul, only becoming fully normal around his first encounter with Luo Feng. This account omitted his knowledge of transmigration while accurately describing the timing of his recovery 188.

He eventually returned to the ruins of Qiong Luo Star and resurrected Xia Lan and Immortal Donghua. He could not safely resurrect Dong Xuan because his father had refined the Wood and Grass Divine Cauldron, an Origin Supreme Treasure, making the backlash too great for Dongguan to survive 238.

Expansion into the universe

After leaving Earth, Dongguan spent an extended period cultivating and competing on the Light and Dark Continent. The difference between his personal cultivation time and the years experienced by his family became significant: when he reunited with Zhang Gui, he reflected that he had cultivated alone for a hundred years, making their former intimacy difficult to recover immediately 83 111.

On Obscured Moon Star, he registered as a citizen of the Guchen Universe Country, opened a Virtual Universe account, became a Universe Trainee Mercenary through a special provision, and purchased Sea Spirit Star from the slave trader Naka. An outside intelligence dossier incorrectly treated his lineage as possibly a mutated hybrid of Three-Eyed Humans and the Winged Human Race 123.

He subsequently cultivated on August Planet, developed commercial interests, and entered humanity's wider cultivation institutions. His first Universe Heavenly Bridge attempt and later battlefield achievements brought him attention far beyond his original circle 139 153 155 183 246.

Later standing and family legacy

Dongguan became humanity's nineteenth recognized Universe Master and later expanded his activities into the Universe Ocean, Jin World, the Origin Continent, and the Nine Rivers Sacred Realm 399 440 624 749 1028.

Over immense spans of time, the Qiong Luo Race and Zhang Family both came to acknowledge him as their ancestor. Unlike Luo Feng's relationship with the Luo Family, Dongguan remained largely hands-off regarding family administration; he distinguished these family powers from the more strictly screened Guanjie Company and Heaven-Observing Palace 709.

Appearance

• Build and features: A youthful-looking man with a well-proportioned physique, neat short hair, sharp brows, and bright eyes 7.
• Spirit Eye: A tiny vertical mark between his brows opens into a third eye. Others initially mistook the mark for a scar 3 7.
• Forehead protector: Wears a specially made guard to conceal the eye, which opens involuntarily when he releases Spiritual Force 7 18.
• Youthful appearance: Despite more than thirty years as a martial artist, he looked young enough for Zhang Gui to address him as “big brother” before learning their relationship 13 16.
• Winged Human State: His transformed appearance includes wings and an enlarged body; in battlefield combat he could expand beyond ten meters before shrinking again through his body techniques 205 209.
• Clothing and alternate bodies: Frequently appears in white robes, while his Light Lord body also appears in blue or green robes. He can change appearance and life aura, though the Light Lord was initially less adept at disguise than a Demon Killer Clan lifeform 155 167 173.
• Late-stage presence: In Yulan City, others noticed an unusual presence even though he habitually considered himself restrained. Much later, Luo Feng found his form growing increasingly illusory during a meeting on the Origin Continent 996 1089.

Personality

Before recovering his memories, Dongguan was intensely devoted to martial arts and rarely expressed emotion. Yang Bei knew him for ten years without seeing him smile, earning him the nickname “Cold Face.” His incomplete consciousness also limited his ability to handle distracting thoughts 4 5.

After his awakening, he became more expressive, humorous, and willing to form personal connections. He encouraged Luo Feng while leaving decisions about revenge and compensation to the actual victims. He condemned infighting during humanity's struggle against monsters, but understood that it could not simply be eliminated 3.

Fatherhood changed his public reputation into that of a Councilor who spoiled his son. He provided Zhang Gui with expensive manuals and cultivation resources, but deliberately delayed some enhancements until the boy had built solid fundamentals 16 21 28.

Dongguan is protective but pragmatic. He destroyed his mother's ruins to reduce the risk of King Huozhen discovering Earth, and concealed the Qiong Luo surname until his family could defend itself. Despite his alien ancestry, he explicitly regarded Earth—not the destroyed Qiong Luo homeworld—as his home 38 47.

His fundamental aspiration is to witness wonders, the universe's endless possibilities, and the future. Protection and revenge remain meaningful to him, but he does not regard either as the sole reason to cultivate. Establishing this aspiration brought him into the state of Seeing One’s Nature with a Clear Mind; later travels and a willingness to accept missed opportunities deepened that clarity 112 134.

He can recognize moral ambiguity in his own conduct. After receiving approval from Light Lord Nihemo, he asked Qiong whether his actions amounted to helping a tyrant 67.

Dongguan's growing power does not eliminate insecurity or self-criticism. Being rendered helpless by Black Universe Founder forced him to recognize the arrogance he had developed after repeatedly escaping Universe Masters. He also cultivated his friendship with Luo Feng partly as a fallback in case his own path stalled, while continuing to value Luo Feng's character and companionship 317 332.

His relationship with humanity is pragmatic rather than unconditionally self-sacrificing. As racial resources became less useful to him, he considered whether independent action would better serve his interests, but recognized both his human identity and the support he had received, rejecting any need to become a traitor 264.

Increasing strength also leaves him emotionally isolated. He recognizes that the power which helped bring Zhang Yu and Youyue into his life has also created distance between them, and envies the ordinary beginnings of Luo Feng and Xu Xin's devotion 478.

On the Origin Continent, he tolerates a reputation as a tyrant when pursuing his institutional changes and path of faith, caring more about whether his efforts succeed than whether powerful opponents approve of him 1070.

Abilities & Skills

Saber Combat and Force Exertion

• Ninefold Thunder Blade: Mastered all nine folds; his eighth fold produced a 6.3-fold multiplier before his final breakthrough 4 5.
• Hidden-force manipulation: Demonstrated combinations that tear or bind rather than simply stack power. These effects sacrifice some raw strength for utility 3.
• Heavenly Blade: Learned blade momentum, a deeper development of artistic conception, through his inherited techniques 37.
• Teaching: Applied shared weapon principles to coach Zhang Gui's spear technique despite primarily using a saber 15.
• Advanced physical exertion: Approached ninetyfold exertion at Domain Lord First Stage and nearly one hundredfold after cultivating Body Transformation's ninth layer 123 131.
• Weapon adaptability: Can translate some saber secret arts into spear techniques. A Wu Qi Tower opponent identified his specialization in single-edged weapons despite his use of a greatsword 300 637.
• Light Break: Used to conclude a prolonged training battle against Hong, Thunder God, Luo Feng, and Zhang Gui together 115.

Phantom Movement and Domain

• Phantom artistic conception: Creates deceptive afterimages to compensate for inferior speed and confuse stronger opponents 10.
• Combined attacks: Uses shifting feints and real strikes; defeated Mohanderson in a War God Palace match by misleading him with phantoms 9 21.
• Personal momentum: Integrated movement and blade momentum during his battle with Hong, combining light and darkness 39.
• Domain: Achieved the first layer through an insight at his Stellar Level breakthrough 46.
• Lightforged Blade World: Unleashed against Tute before repeatedly breaking through his defenses with speed-based finishing attacks 83.
• Weighted light defense: His light domain could acquire a sense of weight and condense a shield around his blade at peak Universe Level 105.
• Chaos Immeasurable Great Hand Seal: An embryonic Chaos Realm attack used repeatedly against Elder Xi Zhu while Dongguan analyzed flaws in his body cultivation. His accompanying domain could capture and unravel the Black Rain Society president's attacks 767.

Psychic Control and Perception

• Flight and telekinesis: Flies through Spiritual Force and manipulates weapons, clothing, doors, and other objects remotely 9 16 17.
• Detailed perception: His sensing range is broadly comparable to other Psychics of the same level, but the detail he perceives is exceptional 39.
• Light sensitivity: His Planetary breakthrough granted hypersensitivity to light, strengthening his perceptual talent 39.
• Control trade-off: Can manipulate more weapons than his full-power limit, but their individual power falls. He used this to clear weaker monsters more efficiently 15 27.
• Combat analysis: Uses perception to determine battle rhythm, identify bodily weaknesses, and unravel the structure of hostile domains and locking techniques 60 767 979.
• Universe Mirror: Adapted King Feijing's secret art by transforming his body and soul to imitate him. Wishful Body and Blood Luo Power increased its range, and it greatly accelerated the recording of the Initial Universe's secret patterns in his Mental Space 302.

Spirit Eye and Secret-Pattern Observation

The Spirit Eye is a Qiong Luo racial organ with abilities that develop through cultivation 39.

• Observes secret patterns within creatures; this perception strengthened and became voluntarily controllable at Planetary Level 10 39.
• Supplied the foundation for his Beast Taming Secret Art 39 44.
• Does not automatically reproduce a creature's techniques: patterns require analysis, experimentation, and a workable method of application 44.
• At Stellar Level One, the Golden Horned Beast's patterns were too complex for his cultivation and processing capacity to decipher 44.
• At Domain Lord level, no fourth new Spirit Eye ability appeared, but the existing Mental Space, Eye of Cause and Effect, and Secret Pattern Eye all changed. The Secret Pattern Eye could distinguish inner and outer pattern layers that had previously been inaccessible 131.
• Later investigations into life and the Sky Giant Eye led him to understand eyes as channels for transmitting will 632.

Eye of Cause and Effect

• Reveals karmic connections that can indicate danger, enemies, and opportunities 42.
• Guided him to the newly hatched Golden Horned Beast near the Hawaiian Islands 42.
• Becomes indistinct when sensing powerful beings; deliberately probing them may alert them to his existence 42.
• Qiong specifically warned him never to use it to observe King Huozhen 42.
• Its use does not grant comprehension of the law of cause and effect, which does not manifest in the Primal Universe 42.
• As his abilities developed, could filter connections by range, goodwill or malice, race, and other characteristics. Strong connections to figures such as Luo Feng, August Venerable, and King Huozhen were easier to identify than ordinary links 226.
• Placed tracking mechanisms in Cause-and-Effect Demon Weapons and used changes in causal connections to infer movement and the timing of events during his captivity 336 340.
• Detected Ying'an's renewed activity through their causal connection and planned to place him in a fate-driven predicament rather than merely destroy an avatar 1070.

Beast Taming and Hypnosis

• Beast Taming Secret Art: Developed by imitating patterns in a rat lord's eyes and transmitting the recreated patterns into monsters' brains 8 22 44.
• Research goal: Sought to develop control over monsters at his own level; studying the patterns also improved his mental power amplitude 22.
• Public instruction: Made the secret art public, while warning that it was difficult to master 31.
• Hypnosis and memory alteration: Extracted local knowledge on the Light and Dark Continent, erased memories of encounters, and used others' experiences to construct his wandering-cultivator identity 50.
• Secret-pattern transfer experiment: Bound a Flame Star Beast and proposed copying its secret patterns into Zhang Gui's Mental Space to improve his son's prospects in the Genius Battle 115.
• King Huozhen's enslavement: Eventually enslaved the enemy he had originally feared and vowed to kill 332.
• Hidden restraints: Taught Mei Gu blood-world techniques containing concealed control methods, then activated them after she dispersed her body, gaining leverage over her survival 835.

Inherited Cultivation Techniques

• In a virtual test, his Thousand-Leaf Grass attack shattered a Universe Level Third Order target, although Qiong criticized its lack of fine control 47.
• He set aside further Flow of Time study temporarily because progress required deeper time-law comprehension, not simply rereading the manual 48.
• By Domain Lord Tier 6, his temporal methods included both acceleration and deceleration; Time Stop remained the one major direction in which he had not yet found an opening 131.

Mental Space, Law Universe, and Secret Patterns

Dongguan's Mental Space supports recording, studying, and applying secret patterns. Its capacity expanded at Domain Lord level enough to hold the Beast God Diagram Record, while inscription of refined patterns could directly alter his physical body 113 131.

• Winged Human State: A secret-pattern-based transformation whose enhancement rose from fivefold to more than tenfold, then beyond seventyfold as his diagrams developed 113 123 205.
• Beast God Intent Realm: Combined with light and time comprehension to let him fight substantially above his cultivation stage 123.
• Beast God Heart: Formed an incomplete fourth-stage heart through Light-Time Fusion Law contemplation, reaching sixteenfold soul amplitude 302.
• Law Universe: Helped him investigate the unity of time and space. During his Universe Master breakthrough, it connected with and absorbed sixty-four Beast God Secret Pattern Diagrams 160 399.
• Treasure replication for study: Examined the Thorn Heart and reproduced it within his Mental Space before handing over the original 899.
• Growing talent: His Mental Space made his aptitude improve alongside his comprehension rather than remaining fixed 168.

Clones, Internal World, and Divine Kingdom

• Light Lord clone: Initially gave him two bodies in total: his human main body and the Light Lord. Because the clone formed through a special method, it did not inherit a normal Light Lord's Clone secret technique 139.
• Light-Controlling Sea: Enhances control over light-origin energy and can enhance equipment. The Light Lord body can turn universal energy and Universe Crystals into a golden ocean within his Internal World 139 155.
• Time Realm: Provides time acceleration; he habitually kept one body researching and cultivating under hundredfold acceleration while the other acted outside 567.
• Body fusion: Combining his human and Light Lord bodies produced far greater combat strength than either could normally wield separately 167 229.
• Clone re-gestation: Could re-form his Light Lord clone in his Internal World after its destruction 173.
• Simulated divine power: Used as a World Lord to achieve combat results beyond normal World Lord limits; ordinary Immortals could not easily distinguish it, though Universe Masters could recognize clues 229 247.
• Cultivated civilization: Nurtured the Sacred Number Civilization within his Divine Kingdom and maintained a Miniature Virtual Universe through which its people communicated 526.
• Infinite Divine Body: Later counted among the foundational powers he received through his Source World's supreme rule 773.

Space-Time Manipulation and Resurrection

Dongguan developed advanced time and space methods well before formally becoming a Universe Master. As a World Lord, he reversed space-time to restore Yang Bei, but suffered severe bodily damage and cracks in his Origin Core from the backlash 201.

• Resurrected Domain Lord Xia Lan and Immortal Donghua at the ruins of Qiong Luo Star 238.
• Could not safely restore Dong Xuan because the Origin Supreme Treasure his father had refined made the resurrection cost excessive 238.
• Used time reversal to investigate the emergence of life on Earth and other planets 632.
• Developed an independent space-time whose control and connectivity improved over time. A temporary enhancement through the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk raised it to perfection, allowing him to connect separated spaces and cross between them in one step 793.
• Withdrew into an independent space-time after the ruler of the You Kingdom interrupted his attempt to kill Marquis Bai Sui 848.

Soul, Will, and Consciousness

• Formless Soul: Raised to the Universe Venerable limit while his will was already at Universe Master level; its defense reduced soul attacks to one percent 377.
• Soul Jade Talismans: Could imprint a soul-defense effect into a special material, creating talismans with an effect comparable to a Soul-type Supreme Treasure 377.
• Consciousness restructuring: Experiments in altering his consciousness structure could leave him temporarily vulnerable. Interrupted adjustments caused spatial misalignment during his fight with Jingyan Master 467.
• Will resistance: Resisted Xin Jing God King's illusion and endured the Sky Giant Eye's pressure in Wu Qi Tower until one body exploded 632 899.
• Bloodline influence: Tamos's memories affected his perspective during his later travels. After Tamos revived and was dealt with by Star Glow Lord, ordinary bloodline-will interference largely ceased, though Dongguan later noticed another momentary loss of control 1026 1077.
• Will bottleneck: Before later breakthroughs, described his progress toward leaving the “prison cage” as 99.99%, still short of the final step 1028.

Advanced Secret Arts and Divine Power Burning

Dongguan Dao and Origin Great Daos

Dongguan's later self-developed Dao centers on observation. Unlike ordinary Origin Great Daos and Fusion Daos, it acts upon himself, making it comparatively insensitive to differences between worlds 976 1049.

• Identity locking: After comprehending its internal branch, could identify Luo Feng by the consciousness within him despite Formless and Faceless transformations 976.
• Concealed nature: Outside Infinity Space, others generally recognized only extraordinary perception rather than detecting the existence of his special Dao 976.
• Origin Ranking synergy: Acting through the Origin Ranking made him effectively a representative of the Supreme Rule; combined with an Innate Secret Treasure, this let his observation penetrate most of Luo Feng's concealment 992.
• Immeasurable Great Dao: Provides extensive methods, simulation, and energy control. Dongguan distinguishes increasing “quantity” through immeasurability from the broader “infinity” that must also include quality 974 1022.
• Material Origin Great Dao: Used to investigate rare treasures and Hunyuan materials; became a second major line of God Emperor cultivation 976 1007 1048.
• Other fields: Uses insights into world, cause and effect, and material origin to search hidden worlds; his Space Origin Great Dao had reached God King Two during an early God Emperor-period test 899 979.
• Defensive specialization: Combines Immeasurable Law, matter, and the Infinite Great Serpent bloodline for exceptionally strong defense 1077.

Disguise and Hunyuan Bloodline

• Spent epochs traveling as an innate primal chaos lifeform and maintained more than a dozen low-tier Hunyuan lifeform identities 1026 1028.
• Repeated exposure helped him refine his disguises; by the last hundred-plus epochs of one journey, he had avoided further discovery, although he did not consider the disguise absolutely reliable 1028.
• Soul attacks remained an unavoidable flaw in that disguise 1028.
• His Tamos bloodline accelerated his God Emperor progress beyond what established foundations and resources alone could explain 1029.
• At one stage, two mid God Emperor Great Daos and a late God Emperor bloodline gave him late God Emperor Dao Comprehender strength normally and God Emperor Perfection bursts 1007.

Later Evolution-System Abilities

• Enhancement distribution: Accumulated eight physique enhancements, four eye esper ability enhancements, and three Great Prophecy Technique enhancements 1102.
• Realm distinction: Learned that accumulating different enhancements increased power without necessarily attaining the corresponding realm; a single attribute enhanced ten times could force Tier 2 power, but “true Tier 2” required more than that shortcut 1102.
• Eye esper ability: Could render successive walls translucent to his sight while identifying targets 1102.
• Great Prophecy Technique: Stored ten “causes” and drew on ten “effects” in advance to survive a vastly stronger opponent for three seconds 1106.
• Full-Body Repair: Restored his body and helped prevent immediate death when an enemy's blood manipulation threatened to rupture him from within 1106.
• Coordinate teleportation: Escaped to his most distant prepared coordinates after surviving the initial assault 1106.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Long saber / war blade — His principal early weapon, suitable for one- or two-handed use 5 37.
• Lightforged Blade — A Tier 3 Force Weapon used against Hong. Nihemo later upgraded it to a top-grade Tier 4 weapon through Light-Controlling Sea 39 139.
• Sky-Escaping Shuttle — Acquired through his Mist Island agreement with Hong; its separable blades allowed mass attacks and the killing of a King-level squid 24 27.
• Black God Set — Retrieved after the Mist Island deal; forms a combat suit around his body 27 37.
• Thousand-Leaf Grass — A nurturable plant lifeform serving as a Psychic weapon; its leaves combine into a massive emerald-green blade. Later used thousands of leaves to form multiple silver sabers in World Lord combat 36 47 205.
• Illusion-Light Vine — A light-attribute variant of the Cloud-Touching Vine selected from his inherited seed stores. Later destroyed enemy Life Cores, collected spoils, and provided Divine Kingdom Teleportation support 37 123 155 197.
• Heaven and Earth — His purplish-red triangular intelligent fighter. Qiong later revoked Hong's hidden access privileges 27 39.
• Qiongluo Ship — Inherited spacecraft controlled by Qiong; carried him from Earth and protected him during the spatial storm with its F9-class shield. Later upgraded before his planned journey to Mou Xinmei 33 46 48 155.
• World Rings and Space Ring — Inherited storage included Divine Plant Essence, universe crystals, equipment, cultivation facilities, and his mother's preserved body 35 42.
• Wrist Guard — Provides access to Virtual Space and inherited secret-art books 35.
• Cultivation facilities — Uses a Nutrient Pod, an Ancient Civilization Gravity Chamber, and virtual reality equipment that includes a Trial Tower 28 35 48.
• Black Stone Altar — Removed from Ruins No. 32 before destroying the site 38.
• Sea Light Tears — Obtained another from Tute after defeating him in a virtual duel and collecting the prize on Island 23 83.
• Heaven and Earth Flower — A separate plant lifeform associated with his later travels and Divine Kingdom Teleportation; not the same item as his intelligent fighter 168 175 238.
• Wood and Grass Divine Cauldron — An Origin Supreme Treasure his father had refined; Dongguan later possessed its damaged form and used it for soul defense 238 250 267.
• Nine Abyss Realm — A Domain-type Supreme Treasure valuable enough to exceed many high-grade weapon-type Supreme Treasures 250.
• Ethereal Boat — A Palace-type treasure that became inadequate against high-level Universe Venerables 267.
• Calamity-Flow / Disaster-Flow Blacklight set — Collected armor, spear, and other components into a high-grade Supreme Treasure set. Its battle techniques improved as pieces were reunited; before obtaining the helmet, all three technique layers could already reach completion 300 316 327 414.
• Tribulation-Shattering Blade — A Peak Supreme Treasure around the Yan God Halberd's level; supports Years Tribulation and has a degree of sealing power 440 467.
• Force-Transforming Armor — A purely defensive Peak Supreme Treasure whose strongest effect reduces attacks to one millionth 440.
• White Needle — A high-grade Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure considered adequate for his initial Universe Ocean needs 440.
• Blood Sand Map — Concentrated its domain to close distance and trap Jingyan Master despite the opponent's stronger Domain-type Supreme Treasure 467.
• Paired Insect Beast forelimbs — Harvested and fashioned into simple weapons comparable to Strange Objects during dangerous exploration after entering an ancient temple 514.
• Giant Axe Founder's former battle-axe — A lent Peak Top-Grade Supreme Treasure comparable in value to a Strange Object; used as a killing weapon, though Dongguan remained more comfortable with his blade 530.
• Void-Drifting Boat — A major later treasure and the vessel he used to enter the Reincarnation Passage 567 743.
• Azure Light Ghost — Mechanical Flow Treasure used in the first three layers of Wu Qi Tower 637.
• True God-level silver saber — Obtained among Wu Qi Tower spoils; equivalent to a Supreme True Treasure by Universe Ocean terminology 637.
• Three Saints Reincarnation Disk — Can temporarily perfect his independent space-time and absorbed Marquis Bai Sui's killing move 793 848.
• Thorn Heart — Located, studied, and copied into Mental Space before being given to the Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion 899.
• Innate Secret Treasure and Origin Ranking — Combined with his observation Dao to strengthen his later contest of perception against Luo Feng 992.

Relationships

• Zhang Yu — Wife and mother of his son. She secretly obtained his genetic material for an institute, later conceived Zhang Gui, and eventually confessed the full circumstances. He forgave her and married her. Much later, he recognized that his rising power had created emotional distance in their relationship 6 16 29 30 31 478.
• Zhang Gui — Son and student. Dongguan acknowledged his parentage, financed his training, guided his weapon techniques, and later advanced both his martial artist and Psychic cultivation to Planetary Level. He subsequently experimented with secret-pattern transfer to improve Zhang Gui's Genius Battle prospects. Zhang Gui eventually became a Universe Master, and Dongguan left an avatar to continue guiding him and others after entering reincarnation 16 17 28 38 115 709 743.
• Dong Xuan Qiong Luo — Father, former clan patriarch, and World Lord. His inheritance and struggle against King Huozhen shaped Dongguan's responsibilities. Dongguan attempted but could not safely complete his resurrection because of the Origin Supreme Treasure Dong Xuan had refined 33 34 238.
• Xia Lan Qiong Luo — Mother and Domain Lord. Left him extensive resources, techniques, and Qiong; he paid respects to her preserved body aboard the ship. Later resurrected her and accepted her affectionate address of “Guan'er” during their reunion 34 35 238.
• Qiong — Inherited ship intelligence and cultivation adviser. Verified his identity, explained his ancestry, managed the ship, and warned him about dangerous uses of his talents. Later used a metal body and explained the long passage of time to the resurrected Xia Lan 33 35 42 48 197 238.
• Luo Feng — Friend and fellow cultivator. Dongguan protected and instructed him, shared Mist Island resources, and entrusted his family's safety to him before leaving Earth. Their relationship grew into reciprocal assistance, sparring, and Dao exchange: Dongguan defended the Luo Family, while Luo Feng helped him infiltrate Craftsman God Mountain. They continued meeting and comparing cultivation on the Origin Continent and beyond 1 3 24 46 313 317 521 567 992 1070.
• Lu Gang — Friend and persistent sparring partner. Dongguan resolved to avert his remembered Rat Tide death and fought alongside him during the investigation 3 5 7 8.
• Yang Bei — Fellow survivor of the original Dragon Shadow Squad. Informed Dongguan about Zhang Gui and helped reconnect him with Northern Frontier Base City. Dongguan later restored him through space-time reversal despite severe backlash 4 6 201.
• Hong — Early cultivation adviser, trading partner, and later sparring opponent. Their battle ended in a draw; they subsequently coordinated humanity's monster-clearing campaign. His discussions of states of mind helped Dongguan understand his own aspiration and cultivation 17 24 39 42 112 134.
• Thunder God — Received resources, techniques, and warnings about Earth's exposure to the universe before Dongguan's departure. Later joined Hong, Luo Feng, and Zhang Gui in a training battle against him 46 115.
• Li Yao and Venina — Previously robbed him of an intermediate lord kill. Despite that history, Dongguan came to assist Li Yao against the Ape King and later paid respects at his funeral 11 25 27.
• Li Shilan — Mother-in-law. Dongguan proposed marriage partly to fulfill her wish to see Zhang Yu's wedding; she died during the ceremony after the couple bowed to her 30 31.
• King Huozhen — Enemy of his parents and clan. Dongguan vowed revenge while taking precautions to prevent the Immortal from discovering him or Earth. He eventually enslaved Huozhen rather than remaining the weaker party in their conflict 34 38 42 332.
• Immortal Donghua — Qiong Luo ancestor whom Dongguan resurrected. Dongguan initially attributed the resurrection to a powerful benefactor and required Donghua to conceal his identity for a hundred epochs 238.
• Youyue — Business partner and later romantic connection. Dongguan agreed to her becoming a shareholder in Dis Company; she requested a farewell hug and described them as friends and business partners. He later recognized that her pursuit of him, like other relationships, had been shaped by his strength 155 478.
• Hai Ling — Accompanied Dongguan during his inspection of Sea Spirit Star's development 155.
• August Venerable — An important cultivation connection associated with August Planet; Dongguan's causal connection with him was among those strong enough to identify readily 162 226.
• Chaos City Lord — Senior human leader who discussed Earth's secrets with Dongguan, supported the agreement preserving Earth's ownership for twenty epochs, and formally introduced him to humanity's Universe Masters 188 244 399.
• Giant Axe Founder — Human leader who sought to negotiate for him during Black Universe Founder's captivity and later lent him a powerful battle-axe 332 336 530.
• Black Universe Founder — Initially an overwhelming captor who exposed Dongguan's overconfidence. Their later dealings included recognition of Dongguan's growth and a farewell Dao discussion before reincarnation 332 379 743.
• Original Ancestor — Dongguan paid respects to him immediately before his Universe Master breakthrough and later helped rescue him, although one of Dongguan's clones remained trapped on the Primal Star 399 686.
• Stars Lord — Among the teachers and senior figures Dongguan visited before reincarnation; Dongguan offered to help him pursue a breakthrough by relocating his Divine Kingdom into Dongguan's miniature universe 743.
• Tute — Virtual-duel opponent who surrendered a Sea Light Tear after defeat and updated Dongguan on the other contestants' growth 83.
• Mei Gu — Source of information about the ancient kingdoms and Divine Mountain; Dongguan secretly embedded restraints in techniques he taught her, later using her survival as leverage 835.
• Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion — Requested an escape passage from Dongguan during the Black Region crisis and received the Thorn Heart from him. Dongguan's standing within the associated Myriad Laws Tower later shifted from outer member toward partner 848 899 928.
• Yanfeng Ancestor — High-level opponent in a wagered duel; broke through Dongguan's Sea of Bitterness, only for Dongguan to immediately dissolve a renewed Flame Wind Tribulation 952 955.
• Chen Mian — Hunting acquaintance who invited Dongguan to join Yuanhong God Emperor's team; they jointly hunted low-tier Hunyuan lifeforms 978 981.
• Yinmeng and Zaituo — Traveling companions during his disguised exploration. Zaituo exposed him as a cultivator, and Yinmeng sided with Zaituo and the blood-weeping eye beast king against him 1026.
• Death Dream Hall Master — Dao-exchange partner with whom he debated the relationship between illusion and reality 1026.
• Ying'an — Later enemy whose pursuit forced Dongguan to unseal his bloodline. Dongguan subsequently tracked his activity through causality and prepared to settle their lingering grudge 1048 1070.
• Star Glow Lord — Powerful figure who dealt with the revived Tamos, greatly reducing the influence of bloodline will on Dongguan 1077.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Awakening and the Rat Tide

• Intervenes when the Tiger Fang Squad ambushes the Fire Hammer Squad, then lets Luo Feng decide how to respond. After Zhang Zehu's death, the surviving attackers are released in exchange for compensation 1 3.

Trivia

• “Dong” is not his surname. His original Earth registration explicitly recorded Dongguan as his given name; his Qiong Luo identity was discovered later 4 32.
• “Perfect War God” began as mockery. It referred to his inability to advance his saber and movement techniques beyond the perfect level, not to flawless combat ability 5 10.
• His inheritance initially had a language barrier. The secret-art books were written in the Universal Language, which he could not yet read 36.
• Local food highlighted the continent's scale. Ordinary vegetables on the Light and Dark Continent could rival Earth's spirits of plants and trees, but merely replenished his energy at his later cultivation level 50.
• His apparent hybrid ancestry was an intelligence error. A dossier suspected a Three-Eyed Human–Winged Human hybrid rather than identifying his actual Qiong Luo lineage and cultivated transformation 123.
• His Light Lord clone could not produce an additional clone through its racial technique. Its special formation removed that innate ability, initially leaving him with only the human and Light Lord bodies 139.
• Universe Master recognition preceded his formal breakthrough. Humanity granted the status on the strength of his accomplishments before the transformation shown during his visit to the Original Ancestor's statue 399.
• He indirectly reduced pressure on Luo Feng. His own exceptional growth drew attention and assassination concerns from alien powers that might otherwise have focused more heavily on Luo Feng 397.
• His later disguises numbered more than a dozen Hunyuan-lifeform identities alone. He treated repeated exposure as feedback for refining the method rather than proof that disguise was impossible 1028.
• The later Tier 2 and Tier 3 terminology belongs to a separate evolution framework. Dongguan explicitly distinguishes realm attainment from power accumulated through enhancements, rather than equating these tiers with his earlier Universe Master combat rankings 1102.
