His inspected attributes at level 20 are as follows 300:

Background

Son of Heaven’s family preserved objects and fragments of information inherited from an ancestor believed to have escaped the Giant World. These included an Authority Stone and knowledge concerning the Sky Cities. The stone remained hidden at the family’s ancestral home for years, occasionally causing Sleepless Flowers to grow nearby; his ancestors harvested the flowers and stored their pollen 459 543.

As a child, he studied at a monastery where the old abbot told the children stories at sunset. King Arthur was a frequent subject, particularly his knightly virtues and the drawing of the Sword in the Stone, which represented the divine right of kings. Facing the Giants years later, Son of Heaven remembered these evenings and wished he could visit the monastery once more 460.

By the Dawn City competition, he was already a famous Eastern European player. Divine Right of Kings ranked among the world’s ten strongest player factions and was described as slightly stronger overall than Ice Emperor 254.

Appearance

• Hair and eyes: Blond hair and blue eyes 300.
• Build and bearing: A handsome young man whose elegant manners resemble those of a modest young nobleman 292 308.
• Change after defeat: His appearance and conduct remain unchanged after losing Dawn City, but Mu You notices that his previously conspicuous pride has become much more restrained 308.

Personality

Son of Heaven combines composure, intelligence, and polished manners with considerable pride. His charisma is supported by practical management: Divine Right of Kings maintains strict discipline and a clear system of rewards and punishments, and its members accept his authority 292.

He treats information as a strategic resource. During negotiations with Ghost Ship Captain, he has Smile record the visitor’s skin and attempts to uncover his strength. Later, he deliberately fights Mu You and Lin Xue alone to assess their capabilities, accepting injuries as part of the investigation 277 300 301.

His defeat in the Dawn City competition tempers his confidence without ending his ambitions. When Mu You offers him a place in Dawn City, he declines out of consideration for his subordinates rather than simply refusing to serve another leader 305 306 308.

His willingness to sacrifice others creates a sharp conflict with Blood Emperor during the Giant crisis. Nevertheless, when humanity’s survival requires his own sacrifice, he activates the Light God’s Maze despite knowing it will burn away his soul. He admits that he fears losing everything for strangers and questions whether anyone will remember him, making the decision without pretending to be free of doubt 451 459.

Abilities & Skills

Word Spirit

His Word Spirit Envoy skin allows spoken commands to produce immediate effects within a restricted domain. Mu You estimates its effective radius at approximately three meters 300.

• Defense — “Barrier”: Creates an invisible defense capable of stopping attacks from every direction. Its effectiveness comes at a substantial Magic Power cost 300 301.
• Illumination — “Light”: Produces a brightly lit sphere around him, even within Mu You’s Darkness Realm 300.
• Evasion — “Dodge”: Forces his body into an extraordinary evasive movement 300.
• Attack — “Needle”: Creates numerous bone spikes around a nearby target 300.
• Healing — “Heal”: Instantly closes his accumulated wounds 301.
• Dispel — “Dispel”: Removes effects such as Throat-Sealing Curse and Lin Xue’s skull-shaped sickle mark 300 301.
• Repulsion and destruction: Uses “Retreat” to force octopuses aside and “Perish” with palm strikes to destroy summoned creatures 305.

Limitations and countermeasures:

• Magic Power consumption scales with the command’s effect; Mu You concludes that an outright instant-death command would exceed his available resources 300.
• Sustained bombardment can exhaust his defenses. Mu You, Lin Xue, and Xiao Ya consume roughly half his reserve in less than half a minute 301.
• Dispelling Lin Xue’s sickle mark costs over four thousand Magic Power, emptying his remaining reserve 301.
• Silencing his throat is insufficient: he can produce a magical voice from inside his body and use it to dispel the curse 300.
• His perception is unusually sharp within the domain, but he appears unable to see through the darkness outside its illuminated boundary 301.

Light God’s Maze

Also called the Light God’s Labyrinth, this confinement ability is created by shattering the Mirror of Light and scattering its fragments. It can trap Giants that have not become true Gods 459 460.

• Mirror environment: Forms a vast mirrored enclosure in which Son of Heaven shifts between reflections and projects his voice from multiple directions 460.
• Visual interference: Flashes of light disrupt a helmeted Giant’s line-of-sight teleportation 460.
• Intelligence gathering: He uses the confrontation to identify Giant abilities and instructs his communicator to record and transmit his findings after his true body dies 460.
• Activation requirement: The user must be acknowledged by the Light God. A bearer of the Light God’s bloodline can use it without the soul-burning cost; Son of Heaven has not obtained that bloodline when he activates it 459.
• Fatal cost: Forced activation continuously burns his soul, and the maze will disappear when that soul is exhausted 459.

Mobility and Survival

• Self-destruct teleportation: Escapes his first Dawn City encounter by disintegrating in an explosion and reappearing near his allies. This is distinct from the first actual player death he later suffers at Mu You’s hands 301 305.
• Flight and concealment: Flies to an altitude of fifteen thousand meters and conceals himself while approaching the Pacific Black Hole 452.
• Slow Fall: Arrests his descent after using the Mirror of Light leaves him unable to maintain flight 452.
• Teleportation: Attempts to separate from Blood Emperor when a Giant targets them with a pursuing orb 456.

Leadership and Analysis

• Maintains a disciplined guild whose cohesion depends heavily on his personal authority 292 461.
• Identifies the light shining through the black holes as the reason creatures are drawn toward Earth 448.
• Deliberately encourages elite players to gather in the Pacific in anticipation of further Giant incursions 455.
• Deduces that the Female Giant’s immobilization works within approximately one thousand meters and prevents her from moving while maintaining control 460.

Equipment & Items

• Azure Sky Disc: A hidden Relic purchased at a high price. It absorbs Magic Power from consenting allies within one hundred meters, without a limit on contributors or total intake. The donors permanently lose the corresponding maximum Magic Power. During the Dawn City assault, roughly four hundred contributors agree to sacrifice one tenth each, giving him approximately three hundred thousand Magic Power 305.
• Mirror of Light: A Divine Artifact used to injure and drive away a Giant with a dazzling flash. He later destroys it to create the Light God’s Maze; after his resurrection, he reports having recovered the mirror intact 452 453 459 478.
• Authority Stone: A family heirloom capable of granting the foundation for divine authority. He exposes it to lure the Giants into his maze, sacrificing his intended use of it for a future Godskin 459.
• Sleepless Flower incense: Made from pollen preserved by his family. Its scent attracts the God Race, and he agrees to provide it for Mu You’s plan to lure a Nine-Star Giant toward a giant octopus 543.
• Resurrection cross: A battered cross that revives him after a Giant’s orb destroys his body; it shatters upon activation 457.
• Communicator: Provides AI-assisted casualty reports and records his observations during the labyrinth battle 459 460.
• Divine Soul Crystal: Offered by Mu You as personal compensation after the Giant crisis, alongside a promise to replace the sacrificed Authority Stone if possible 478.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Dawn City Competition

Son of Heaven initially calls Dawn City fragment holders to assemble in Europe. After Ghost Ship Captain proposes a competing gathering on Turtle Island, Divine Right of Kings withdraws its invitation and supports the new meeting 255 256.

He subsequently invites Ghost Ship Captain aboard the Spade, proposing that they combine their fragments and alternate as City Lord. Negotiations stall over who should hold the first term. His ordered attack strikes a double, and the ensuing counterattack cuts the Spade in half 277.

By the prison gathering, his faction holds fragments one, three, six, and nine, giving it both known entrance locations and much of a route toward the city center. During the chaotic breakout, he secures two fragments on Earth and releases entrance nine’s location to divert Jack and other competitors away from his own route 290 291 296.

Inside Dawn City, he challenges Mu You, Lin Xue, and Xiao Ya alone to investigate their strength. Although he loses Fragment One and must escape, he correctly concludes that neither Mu You nor Lin Xue has reached Legendary Tier 300 301.

For the final assault, he allies with Jack and uses the Azure Sky Disc to power his Word Spirit defenses. Mu You exhausts the borrowed reserve and kills him in six seconds, his first actual death since becoming a player. He eventually concedes that the gap is insurmountable 304 305 306.

Afterward, he shares information about the hidden space beneath a level-three Castle’s Dungeon and requests that Mu You avoid publicly revealing the competition’s details. He intends to contest another city and declines Mu You’s recruitment offer for his guild’s sake 308.

Rising Sun City and the City Lords

Son of Heaven wins Rising Sun City, raising Divine Right of Kings to third place in the International Superpower Rankings. When Mu You warns against flying the Sky Cities too high, he identifies Z Worldwalker as a possible threat and advocates stopping her before she acts 332.

He later supports cooperation among the City Lords in locating divine artifacts, pointing out that their differing inheritances mean those searches need not conflict 407.

Pacific Giant Crisis

During the black-hole emergency, Son of Heaven calls for a worldwide joint command. Although initially assigned to Europe, he chooses the Pacific opening, explaining that its isolation offers Divine Right of Kings greater access to resources with little competition 448 450.

His proposed sacrifices to obtain a Giant’s corpse provoke Blood Emperor’s condemnation. He then personally drives away the observing Giant with the Mirror of Light, but a much larger force eventually arrives. A Giant kills him with an orb; his cross revives him, and Blood Emperor prevents a subsequent fatal blow 451 452 455 456 457.

With conventional resistance failing, he sacrifices the Mirror of Light and exposes his ancestral Authority Stone to lure six Giants into the Light God’s Maze. While sustaining it at the cost of his soul, he continues studying their abilities. His death leaves Divine Right of Kings grieving and threatens its cohesion 459 460 461.

He is subsequently restored to life. During the loot settlement, he thanks Mu You for saving him and says he never expected to recover either his treasures or his life 478.

Later Cooperation

• Giant hunting: Helps Mu You kite a Giant while their allies fight the Wetland Enchantress 517.
• Nine-Star Giant lure: Agrees to supply Sleepless Flower incense, with any resulting divine bones assigned to him and the god’s blood to Mu You 543.
• Mechanical People conflict: Shares footage and battlefield reports concerning enormous enemy warships, assisting the City Lords’ coordinated advance with the mirage mist 569 571.
• Eden evacuation: Discusses the approaching Mirage Qi and its threat to Vaccine recovery with Mu You 586.

Final Chapter: Another Worldline

In the final chapter’s altered worldline, Son of Heaven has inherited Order City and leads a search team pursuing Z-Realm Walker’s group. After Lin Xue kills the fugitives, she explains that she comes from another worldline and needs to enter the Dream World to save Mu You 740.

He agrees to open its sealed entrance. His decision rests partly on his own persistent feeling that his identity as Order City’s lord should belong to someone else, and his fear that the world is approaching an ending he cannot manage 740.

Relationships

• Mu You / Ghost Ship Captain — Rival for Dawn City, later a respected ally. Mu You’s victory reshapes his confidence; they subsequently exchange information and cooperate against Giants and other threats 305 308 517 543.
• Demon — Senior guild subordinate who rallies Divine Right of Kings around avenging him after his sacrifice, giving its grieving members a new purpose 461.
• Smile — Trusted subordinate involved in reconnaissance and negotiations. After Son of Heaven’s death, he fears that Demon’s revenge campaign will destroy the guild 277 461.
• Edward Jack — Competing fragment holder and eventual temporary ally. Jack contributes his faction’s Magic Power to the final Dawn City attempt and angrily rejects Son of Heaven’s concession 290 304 305 306.
• Blood Emperor — Initially distrusts his motives and condemns his ruthlessness, but saves his life and ultimately recognizes his self-sacrifice as heroic 450 451 457 459.
• Lin Xue — Opponent whose sickle mark exposes a costly weakness in Word Spirit. In the final chapter’s altered worldline, he helps her reach the Dream World 301 740.
• Man in sunglasses — An old classmate associated with the Crimson Dawn conflict. Son of Heaven refuses to sell intelligence on Ghost Ship Captain, maintains neutrality, and advises him to withdraw 386.
• Old abbot — Childhood teacher whose stories of King Arthur remain important memories during Son of Heaven’s final stand 460.
