Background / History

Zhu Wu was a transmigrator who began life in Holy Soul Village under the care of his grandfather, Zhu Gang. Before his martial soul awakening, he secretly produced gunpowder for self-defense and revenge against Tang San, whose theft and killing of Da Huang had made him an enemy in Zhu Wu’s eyes 2.

His initially unremarkable Mulberry Silkworm martial soul proved to be Little White, a Treasure Seeking Beetle with spiritual and spatial attributes. Zhu Wu discovered that it could transform into creatures it had seen, search for treasures, store objects, cultivate, create illusions, and later permanently imprint soul-beast abilities 4 5 31. He obtained his first soul ring from a Three-Eyed Demon Fox, graduated early, and returned to Holy Soul Village to care for Zhu Gang until his death 20 24 25.

After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Zhu Wu fought soul beasts alone to develop practical combat experience while having Little White copy useful abilities. His caution was deliberate: he chose manageable opponents, withdrew from overwhelming threats, and treated each encounter as training or data collection 30 32.

Zhu Wu subsequently entered the Mist Zone and gained the support of Di Tian and the ferocious beasts. He absorbed the Gold of Life, awakening the Eye of Life, and began planning a path for soul beasts to coexist with humanity through the future Illusory Beast Sect 43. The Water and Fire Dragon Kings’ bloodline seals later transformed him into a dragon-like being and enabled his Dragon God Bloodline transformation 50 51.

For years, Zhu Wu trained alongside Long Ling’er and Zi Ji, researched dragon meridians, accumulated attributes and soul-beast skills, and publicly adopted the identity of Long Ying Tian, leader of the supposedly hidden Illusory Beast Sect 67 77 78. He eventually admitted that the sect was fictional and that his true name was Zhu Wu of Holy Soul Village 293.

After ascending, Zhu Wu ended the war on the continent and announced a new cultivation order: soul beasts would no longer yield soul rings, while humans would cultivate through Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy and face Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations before godhood 333. He later joined the God Realm and established the Dragon Court in the Dragon Realm, appointing the Silver Dragon King as temporary overseer 364.

Appearance

Zhu Wu grew rapidly after gaining his first soul ring, becoming taller than expected for his age and losing much of his childhood baby fat through constant training 24. He is repeatedly described as exceptionally handsome 102 256.

• During Martial Soul Possession, his eyes become vertical pupils; rainbow-patterned horns and seven-colored scales appear around his head and face 110.
• He manifests Seven-Colored Dragon Wings after consuming the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Lovesick Heartbreak Red 128.
• His True Dragon form is approximately three meters tall and nearly twenty meters long, with double horns, wings, a translucent white body, and seven-colored patterns 50.
• His Dragon God Bloodline form grants nine-colored eyes, seven-colored scale wings, and a dragon aura capable of pressuring Zi Ji 243.
• Little White can transform into many beast forms, allowing Zhu Wu to take forms such as a fox, bird, magpie, Golden-tailed Swift, and dragon-like creature 108 250 257.

Personality

Zhu Wu is calculating, resourceful, and intensely self-reliant. As a child, he prepared gunpowder in secret, trained privately, and built plans around avoiding suspicion and surviving stronger enemies 2 5. In battle, he favors preparation, reconnaissance, controlled escalation, and exploiting an opponent’s weaknesses rather than reckless confrontation 30 32.

He is also diligent and intellectually curious. Zhu Wu studies martial souls, soul-beast abilities, attributes, meridians, historical examples, and cultivation routes, often turning knowledge into practical training systems for himself and others 45 56 67.

His care for allies is genuine but often expressed through instruction, protection, and practical support. He cared for Zhu Gang through his final months, intervened to save Zi Ji from uncontrolled herb absorption, rewarded loyal subordinates, and re-created bodies for several sacrificed soul beasts 25 60 128 354.

Zhu Wu can be arrogant, teasing, manipulative, and ruthless toward enemies. He openly schemes to secure Zi Ji’s assistance, humiliates opponents who provoke him, and later uses his overwhelming power against Tang San and Xiao Wu 74 101 337.
