Xia Xiu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Before transmigrating, Xia Xiu was a top-tier Terra Chronicles player preparing for its sixth expansion, Book of All Realms. His previous character belonged to Heaven, hunted heretics through the Sanctum’s Heretic Inquisition, and worked alongside the Burial Agency against cultists 1 4 21.

His interest in the game extended beyond combat. He disabled its translation system, learned Terran language and writing from scratch, collected books, attended lectures, and studied Terra’s history. Attempts to pursue educational discoveries repeatedly attracted strange accidents, leaving him concerned that the same bad luck might follow him after transmigration 13.

He spent his first month in Terra inside Kradashi Weddell’s BIO creation D·503, quietly gathering information while awaiting an opportunity to escape. After gaining freedom, he discovered that his past-life memories were extraordinarily precise except for the twelve hours before logging into the game. That gap renewed his suspicion that Terra Chronicles had never been merely a game 1 4 5.

Appearance

• Human form: A finely sculpted, youthful face, blond hair, and golden eyes; frequently wears a radiant smile with narrowed eyes 3 6 40.
• Original BIO marking: His identification number was beneath his eye and vanished during the sacrifice ritual 3.
• Yarn’s Mark: A scarlet circle surrounded by swirling layers on the back of his right hand 3 50.
• Early clothing: White trench coat, brown waistcoat, and white Panama hat 6.
• College clothing: Deer College robes equipped with small dust-repelling magic circles 14.
• Petroshapian form: Indigo silicon-based crystals with black markings, six spikes on his back, and two on his chest. Siliconization also covers his clothing 20 21.
• Heaven-assisted spirit form: Pure white wings appear during his journey to the Wisdom Tree through the Rainbow Bridge 37.

Personality

Xia Xiu pairs impeccable courtesy with calculated intimidation. After overpowering Lei Si, he heals the wound he has just inflicted and politely requests an introduction to Stephen. His cheerful manners likewise conceal the pressure he places on Muji by invoking Heaven’s authority over Dimension Express 6 43 44.

He is curious, opportunistic, and strongly interested in useful resources. He questions the nature of his transmigration, enjoys accumulating money and Thaumaturgy Stones, and treats restricted marketplaces as opportunities despite explicit safety warnings. His early kindness toward Camille is partly calculated: he recognizes her innate Synesthesia as a reason to invest in a potentially powerful future friend 4 5 13 16 17.

His confidence includes a clear awareness of his limits. He suppresses his desire to kill Dorn because he cannot yet defeat him, and refuses to enter the Sanctum while its surveillance could expose his second lineage. The Divine Feast’s severe aftereffects force him to acknowledge that advancement now carries real danger rather than a player’s recoverable setback 20 26 35.

He also enjoys teasing, whistling, and rainy days. He bites the heads off Camille and Ushas’s cat-shaped pastries to provoke them, yet responds warmly when Camille welcomes him back to Three Portlands 19 36 41 44.

Abilities & Skills

Dual Lineage Connection

• Simultaneously holds Heaven and Flesh Supremacy, despite recognizing them as opposing, normally incompatible lineages 4.
• Can summon both interfaces at once and receives EVE reserves from each 4.
• Conceals Heaven’s interface through direct neural transmission, preventing outsiders from seeing its warnings unless he manifests the Red Book 27.
• Avoids the Sanctum because the Holy Ark denies privacy to Angels and Great Angels; he expects exposure of Flesh Supremacy to result in his execution as a traitor 35.

Flesh Sculpting

• Performs basic flesh manipulation and enables flesh-synthesis rituals 5.
• Stitches Lei Si’s cut cheek closed and controls his own boiling blood during DNA integration 6 20.
• Collects and archives paranormal species’ cellular genes, allowing transformation and use of their supernatural abilities 17.
• Further forms require appropriate DNA templates, rituals, and inhibitors; only the Petroshapian form is documented as acquired 17 20.
• Flesh Supremacy advancement requires dangerous Ether Sea communion and Divine Feast rituals rather than ordinary study alone 20.

Petroshapian Transformation

• Fires barrages of crystal blades, reshapes his hands into blades, and raises large crystals from the ground 21 26.
• Possesses resilient, reflective crystalline material capable of continued restructuring 17.
• At 600 total spirit units, can sustain siliconization for approximately five minutes, or three minutes in intense combat 21.

Light Attendant Circuits

• Receives three forms whose circuits collectively constitute the Light Body Transformation module 38.
• Type II — Speed: Azure circuits lighten his body and strengthen his wingbeats; his Wisdom Tree test produces a sonic boom 38.

• Counters a mental probe by abruptly increasing his lineage’s loudness 9.

Alchemy

• Reads and speaks Terran through knowledge acquired before transmigration 13.
