History
Divine Birth and Ordinary Childhood
Jiang Wang was Jiang Yang’s second son, born to Jiang Yang and Ania during the peaceful years preceding the World-Fall Calamities. Gods blessed his birth, immortals offered congratulations, and angels and Heroic Spirits celebrated him. Jiang Yang named him while looking into the starry sky, expressing the hope that human civilization would one day reach the heavens it admired 699 700.
Born with exceptionally pure Divine Clan blood, Jiang Wang possessed an ageless constitution, formidable innate divine power, and talent exceeding even Jiang Shennong’s. Rather than immediately cultivate him, his parents sealed his Divine Body so that he could experience a complete childhood. Jiang Yang took him to meet the gods in the Divine Realm, where Jiang Shennong bestowed the Flame Emperor’s blessing, before bringing him back to Earth 700.
Ania lived as Jiang Niya and withdrew from entertainment to raise him, while Jiang Yang continued operating his coffee shop. Jiang Wang entered kindergarten at three and elementary school at six. His memory, reasoning, and mathematical aptitude made him the highest-ranked student in his grade throughout elementary school 700.
School Years
His academic success initially made Jiang Wang proud and distant from his classmates. Jiang Yang challenged him to make genuine friends during junior high, promising any reward he wanted. Jiang Wang chose a different school, became more courteous, joined clubs, and stopped insisting on first place in every examination. By graduation, he had several close friends and requested a high-quality bow and arrows as his reward 701.
Jiang Yang also taught him the Jiang Family Sword Technique. During his second year of junior high, Jiang Wang defeated the gifted visiting swordswoman Nine Palaces You. Her subsequent success as Dongying’s foremost girl swordswoman helped make him famous before he entered high school 701 702.
At Yunhai High School, he joined the Archery Club and reached the national top level among high-school archers within two years. He also served as his class’s sports representative and joined the Student Council after losing a bet. Although popular with girls, he was forbidden by his mother from dating before university 702.
University and Supernatural Changes
After his parents left to resume their responsibilities and cultivation, Jiang Wang continued studying astronomy at Yunhai University. Gael introduced herself as an older-sister relative and brought him to Gabriel, who established her identity as his aunt through stories about his father and childhood. Gabriel encouraged his research but also urged him to maintain his swordsmanship and archery 703 717 718 719 720.
He entered postgraduate study and later pursued a doctorate. A year-long relationship ended when his media-studies girlfriend left him for a director, prompting him to place greater importance on character than appearance 720 722.
During his second doctoral year, Jiang Wang investigated suppressed footage of supernatural awakenings. Attempts to trigger water, earth, and wind abilities through prolonged exposure all failed. Believing he might lack supernatural talent, he returned to astronomy research, though he had already resumed diligent martial practice as the world grew stranger 721 722.
The First World-Fall Calamity
When fragments of other worlds crashed into Earth, Jiang Wang defended Yunhai University with a fire axe against attacking Green-Skinned Dwarfs. After a frost-breathing bird killed the university president and most administrators, Lan Qin asked him to lead the survivors. He organized supplies, care for the injured, and preparations to leave for a military shelter 725 726.
Armed with his own sword and bow, Jiang Wang helped lead several hundred teachers and students out of the university. Other survivors joined them, bringing the group above a thousand. He fought Green-Skinned Monsters and helped Lan Qin kill a blue-furred wolf king despite remaining unawakened 728 729.
During the confrontation with the Green-Skinned Monster army, he remembered Gabriel’s advice and called toward the Sun. The resulting divine protection triggered his awakening. He shot down shamans, cut through the enemy ranks, and beheaded their king, breaking the army’s morale and allowing the humans to free its captives 730 731.
He later helped rescue thousands of university survivors from Giants and brought them back to Yunhai Garrison Base. During this period, he and the healer Pei Lanji began living together 734 735.
Recruitment Journey and Defense of Yunhai
With the refugee camp functioning steadily, Jiang Wang accompanied Lan Qin on a journey to find promising allies. He rescued endangered humans along the way and witnessed the devastation inflicted by Fallen World Creatures. At Mountain City, Gu Youxuan’s brother challenged him before permitting her to accompany the group; golden fire and purple lightning illuminated their battle 735 737.
After several years of recruitment, the group returned to find Yunhai’s former main refuge destroyed. They joined the surviving university-centered camp, helped reclaim the city, and spent twenty years strengthening its defenses and opening routes to other settlements 737 738.
During the second World-Fall Calamity, Jiang Wang ordered Gu Youxuan to evacuate the others through underground passages while he remained behind against the beast tide. As the emperor-rank Heaven-Conquering Eagle closed in, Bai Weiwei intervened and saved him. She later recognized Jiang Yang’s swordsmanship in his practice and identified herself as his father’s disciple—and therefore his senior sister 738 740 741.
Sun Lord and Solar Bloodline
The Heavenly Court supplied Jiang Wang with personnel and resources. When humanity developed Professional potions, he became the Sun Lord and eventually one of its ten strongest fighters. Cloudsea City weathered the third World-Fall Calamity without being overrun and hunted Fallen World Creatures to produce further advancement potions 741 744.
Ania’s return finally revealed his heritage: both parents were gods, and he belonged to the Fifth Epoch’s Divine Clan. He also learned that Jiang Yang had been watching over him through the Sun. Ania warned him not to let that protection diminish his courage or respect for life and death 744.
Afterward, Jiang Wang began reclaiming territory around Cloudsea City. Pei Lanji gave birth to their daughter, Jiang Lingyan, whom he presented to the city’s people as Jiang Yang blessed his descendants with the Sunmark bloodline 745.
Later Leadership
When five great worlds descended toward Earth, one of their lords attempted to seize Jiang Wang with a Heaven-Seizing Hand. Jiang Wang called for his father, and Jiang Yang manifested in the ancient Sun as the Imperial Bell rang across the Solar System and myriad worlds 749.
Father and son subsequently reunited atop Cloudsea City’s Solar Tower after six thousand years apart. Jiang Yang refused to remove him to the Divine Realm or spare Sixth Epoch civilization its trials, instead urging him to cultivate, cooperate with Bai Weiwei, and fight for all humanity 756.
Jiang Wang later pardoned three thousand Sea Tribe members, permitting them to establish a dependent city. He also fought alongside the Human King and five Sea Tribe kings against the remaining sixth-step Fallen World enemies. Humanity reclaimed the globe by Federation Year 75,000 758.
The Human Emperor appointed him to investigate city-states for betrayal, corruption, and brutality. After Zhang Chao murdered investigators—including Sun Royal Clan descendant Jiang Danyang—Jiang Wang ordered a covert inquiry and captured the perpetrators. By Federation Year 82,000, the broader investigations had exposed wrongdoing in 300 cities 760.
Following humanity’s victory over an alien invasion, Jiang Yang instructed Jiang Wang and Jiang Shennong to remain united and protect their mothers. By the later family reunion, Jiang Wang had numerous descendants, and the Sun Royal Clan had become one of the Sixth Epoch’s strongest human factions 772 775.
Appearance
- Usual appearance: Handsome, with black hair and brown eyes; his inherited looks and distinctive bearing made him popular throughout his school years 701 718 731.
- Awakened appearance: His hair and eyes turned golden, giving him the imposing presence of a young god 730 731.
- Sunmark: A radiant, sunlike mark appeared between his brows during awakening and remained faintly visible after his hair and eyes returned to their original colors 730 731.
Personality
Jiang Wang began as a proud child who accepted admiration without cultivating equal friendships. He responded deliberately to his father’s correction, learning courtesy, joining group activities, and maintaining friendships rather than continually displaying his superiority. By high school, he was socially adept and lenient in Student Council duties whenever no principle was at stake 701 702.
He is courageous without requiring supernatural confidence: during the first attacks, he armed himself and fought while still unawakened. His concern for others later extended to rescuing strangers, organizing refugees, and remaining behind to cover Yunhai’s evacuation. Even after defending the city for years, he initially described himself to Bai Weiwei as a temporary leader rather than its lord 725 735 738 739.
His parents’ prolonged absence left him yearning for familial affection, strengthening his attachment to Gabriel and Gael. Learning that his father had always watched over him brought a marked increase in confidence, though his mother explicitly cautioned against allowing divine ancestry to become complacency 720 744 745.
