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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

• Thousand-Leaf Grass — A nurturable plant lifeform serving as a Psychic weapon; its leaves combine into a massive emerald-green blade 36 47.

• 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 16 17 28 38.
• Dong Xuan Qiong Luo — Father, former clan patriarch, and World Lord. His inheritance and struggle against King Huozhen shaped Dongguan's responsibilities 33 34.

Notable Quotes

“To command strength is to command everything—to command your destiny.” 13

“He has the right to know where he came from.” 16

“One day, I'll kill King Huozhen and avenge my parents and our people.” 34

“Perhaps the Qiong Luo Race's homeworld was the now-destroyed Qiong Luo Star, but my homeworld should be Earth.” 47

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.
