Ganwu Country Lord

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Ancient Career and Debt

Ganwu rose to prominence in nearly the same era as the Chaos City Lord and has ruled the Ganwu Universe Country since its founding. Despite his age, limits to his talent and potential prevented him from crossing the gap between Universe Venerable and Universe Master 74 91 131.

He died on Primal Star three times in succession, losing his treasures each time. Humanity resurrected him, leaving him heavily indebted to both the race and his friends. By his introduction, his outstanding debt had been reduced to 3.8 Supreme Treasure Points 51.

Unable to afford the equipment needed to resume adventuring, he remained in human territory, guarding his country and nurturing geniuses to earn contribution points. His extensive investment in the Ganwu Secret Region was partly driven by this need to repay his debts 51 52.

Recruiting Li Jing

Lord Thirteen first reported Li Jing after the Planetary-Level youth mastered a Ninefold Domain and crossed the Fire Origin Law threshold. Ganwu ordered Thirteen to offer the Ganwu Dojo’s best recruitment terms and train Li Jing for a future Genius Battle 51.

Li Jing’s subsequent Law Tower performance changed Ganwu’s plans. He recognized exceptional law comprehension, combat aptitude, and willpower, judging that careful guidance could raise Li Jing’s chance of becoming a Space Venerable to thirty percent. Rather than impose an apprenticeship test, he immediately offered to accept Li Jing as a personal disciple 66 130.

Ganwu also praised Li Jing for supposedly financing the resistance and independence of enslaved humans. This was a misunderstanding: the spending had actually gone toward Li Jing’s card draws. Li Jing nevertheless accepted him as his master and completed the acknowledgment ceremony 67.

Before Li Jing, Ganwu had accepted twenty-two disciples. Thirteen remained alive, all at Immortal strength; the strongest was the third disciple, a Peak King living in Chaos City 68.

Genius Battle Wager

Confident that Li Jing would win the Genius Battle, Ganwu wagered one Treasure Point against each of fifteen Universe Venerables. His total stake of fifteen Treasure Points represented his entire private reserve 75.

Li Jing’s Trial Tower performance vindicated him. The other Venerables conceded their losses, doubling Ganwu’s reserve to thirty Treasure Points. Instead of buying equipment for himself, he planned to spend the winnings on Li Jing’s cultivation or protection 91 93.

Li Jing’s success also restored Ganwu’s standing among his peers. Venerables who had avoided him for fear of loan requests began offering visits, loans, and joint expeditions. He welcomed the financial support but refused the expeditions rather than risk another death 127 130.

Supporting Li Jing in Chaos City

Ganwu personally escorted Li Jing and Luo Feng to the Initial Universe, using Glory King’s God Kingdom for the first leg of the journey. He explained Chaos City’s cultivation resources and handed them over to its Black-Robed Envoy for stele selection 104 105.

Concerned about Li Jing’s decision to cultivate both time and space, Ganwu borrowed across his network until he accumulated 3.1 Supreme Treasure Points. He spent three points on the Time Origin Dragon Pearl, nearly doubling his debts to obtain a treasure that could improve Li Jing’s Time Origin Law talent 107 119.

When the pearl proved unnecessary, the Chaos City Lord arranged its full-price return to the treasury. Ganwu then purchased the Space-Escape Silk to meet Li Jing’s needs and delivered it alongside the Soul Silence Pearl supplied by the Chaos City Lord 121 122.

As Li Jing’s achievements attracted humanity’s highest authorities, Ganwu worried that his own abilities were insufficient to teach and protect him. The resulting arrangement preserved their master-disciple relationship while offering conditional instruction from the Lord of Darkness 131 133 134.

Later Protection and Guidance

After Li Jing returned to the Ganwu Secret Region, Ganwu purchased and studied the Eternal Night Soul Codex so that he could help his disciple meet the Lord of Darkness’s requirements. Although he considered himself poorly suited to the Soul Path, he expected his foundation to let him reach the Fourth Layer in roughly three thousand years 163 170.

He also intervened over Molo’s treatment of Li Jing, pressuring King Yuliang into admitting fault and providing compensation. When Li Jing later reported friction with Yanzhu King, Ganwu approved his response and promised to handle Shi Huo Venerable if further trouble arose 170 171.

Ganwu personally escorted Li Jing back to Chaos City after the latter completed his business in the Ganwu Universe Country 181.

Appearance

• Imposing presence: His seated figure is described as majestic, with an expression that ordinarily reveals neither joy nor anger 51 66.
• Law fluctuations: Various laws circulate around him, with the Law of Space especially active; his presence resembles an embodiment of that law 51.
• Eyes and aura: His gaze flashes like lightning when he opens his eyes, while his restrained pressure makes others reluctant to look directly at him 51.

Personality

Ganwu is exceptionally invested in nurturing talent, regularly appearing before the Ganwu Secret Region’s students to encourage them during Genius Battles. His motives initially combine debt repayment, personal pride, and the hope of raising a Venerable disciple who could eventually explore alongside him 51 66 70.

With Li Jing, he is approachable, generous, and attentive. He provides direct instruction, plans suitable cultivation routes, and borrows heavily rather than leave a perceived weakness in his disciple’s development unaddressed. Their relationship becomes relaxed enough that Li Jing feels little of the usual restraint toward a powerful master 68 105 107 119.

He openly enjoys showing off Li Jing’s achievements and teasing fellow Venerables who underestimate him. Nevertheless, he repeatedly underestimates Li Jing himself, most visibly when his predictions about the Illusion Sea become obsolete almost immediately 91 128.

His warmth is selective rather than a lack of authority. He maintains a commanding manner with outsiders and firmly backs Li Jing against hostile or presumptuous figures, treating Shi Huo Venerable as a junior despite the latter’s reputation 104 170.

Abilities and Skills

Space Origin Law and Combat Strength

A Space Venerable whose combat strength remains at the High Universe Venerable level even without exceptional treasures 67 127.

• With a full set of Supreme Treasures, he is assessed as capable of approaching or rivaling an ordinary Universe Overlord 67 75.
• Can teleport himself and others; at the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, he transports Li Jing and Luo Feng across tens of light-years 104.
• His age and seniority place him well above newly advanced Venerables such as Nine Swords in both strength and standing 91.
• His longstanding cultivation bottleneck remains unresolved; improved equipment is presented as a way to increase his combat strength, not his realm 68.

Cultivation Instruction

Ganwu can identify the strengths and deficiencies in Li Jing’s laws, weapons, movement, soul techniques, and willpower from battle records 66 68.

• Recommends replacing Burning Flame with training through the Flame God Armament and Flame Space-Rending Blade 68.
• Advises retaining Ten Thousand Line Flow for foundational movement training and Void Tower for soul defense 68.
• Makes himself available through the Virtual Universe or in person instead of delegating Li Jing’s education to an Immortal 68.
• Has ordinary accomplishments in the Soul Path, limiting his ability to guide Li Jing’s exceptional soul and illusion talents 131 133.

Willpower and Soul Techniques

His will and consciousness are described as being at the Universe Overlord level, giving him a strong foundation for studying unfamiliar soul techniques 170.

• Thoroughly learns the Eternal Night Soul Codex’s First Layer within one or two days 170.
• Estimates that reaching its Fourth Layer would take around three thousand years; this remains a projection, not a completed achievement 170.
• Cannot detect Li Jing through the Space-Escape Silk, even after searching with both divine power and soul power 122.

Equipment and Resources

Personal Equipment

• G-class Biological Spaceship — A bluish-gray vessel shaped like a long snake, used to travel into the Initial Universe 104.
• Ordinary Venerable weapons and armor — Considered sufficient while he remains in human territory rather than undertaking dangerous expeditions 93.
• World Ring — Li Jing uses his teacher’s World Ring while preparing Moyun’s advancement to Immortality 181.

Support Provided to Li Jing

Relationships

• Li Jing — Youngest and most favored personal disciple. Ganwu grants him unrestricted entry to his palace, a privilege some other personal disciples lack. Li Jing deeply values his care and decides that Ganwu alone is sufficient as his teacher 105 137 170.
• Lord Thirteen — One of the Eighteen Divine Generals and a longtime subordinate. Reports Li Jing’s talent, oversees his recruitment, and escorts him to Ganwu’s palace for acceptance as a disciple 51 66 67.
• Glory King — Peak King soul slave assigned to protect Li Jing. Also provides God Kingdom transportation for Ganwu and his guests 75 77 104.
• Chaos City Lord — A powerhouse from Ganwu’s era. Their dealings resume through Li Jing, whose development prompts the City Lord to arrange treasures, secrecy, and additional instruction 121 133.
• Lord of Darkness — Conditional instructor arranged for Li Jing, not a replacement master. Ganwu studies his Eternal Night Soul Codex to help Li Jing qualify for guidance 133 163 170.
• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God — Li Jing’s hometown companions. Ganwu approves their admission to the Ganwu Secret Region and urges them to justify Li Jing’s support through diligent cultivation 83.
• Seventh Prince — One of Ganwu’s few surviving children; an ordinary Marquis Immortal who did not inherit his father’s exceptional talent 176.
• Shi Huo Venerable — A much younger Venerable whom Ganwu criticizes for mishandling attempts to befriend Li Jing. Ganwu promises to intervene if he causes trouble 170.
• King Yuliang — Molo’s teacher. Yields to Ganwu’s pressure and compensates Li Jing over Molo’s actions 171.

Trivia

• An Illusion Sea trial creates a false Ganwu who pressures Li Jing to surrender Earth while cooperating with Shi Huo Venerable. Li Jing rejects the scene precisely because he believes his real teacher would never behave that way 128.
• Despite his enormous debts, Ganwu readily provides ordinary currency: his shortage concerns Treasure Points and Supreme Treasure Points, not Hunyuan Units 67 68.
