Celestial God King
The Celestial God King is the ancient ruler of the Celestial God Clan and, at the height of its power, the most dominant native combatant in the universe. Proud, suspicious, and intensely protective of his supremacy, he first treats Du Ge as a useful proxy against the Zorn God King, then attempts to eliminate him when his God King-level strength becomes undeniable. Defeat changes him from rival sovereign to Du Ge's most powerful established ally, joining the struggle against the First Saint and the later threat to their universe.
Biography
Rewarding a useful outsider
The Celestial God King enters the conflict as the ruler whom Birmingham and the other Celestial generals ultimately serve. When Du Ge presents himself as a Thunder God of War defending civilizations oppressed by the Zorn Clan, the God King publicly recognizes his identity and promises further forces. This is an expedient endorsement: Du Ge's actions damage a rival, attract defections, and give the Celestial Clan a heroic justification for expanding a war the God King already hopes to win. (Chapters 619, 622, 626)
The calculation changes when Du Ge overwhelms a Zorn fleet and demonstrates power on the level of a God King. The Celestial God King halts his own advance, commends Du Ge, and orders him to present the Seed of Humanity, but the invitation is a loyalty test rather than a welcome. His stubborn and suspicious nature will not tolerate an outsider of equal rank within his hierarchy, especially one whose allegiance cannot be guaranteed. Whether Du Ge returns the Seed or not, the God King has already decided that coexistence is too dangerous. (Chapter 627)
From wary test to extermination campaign
Du Ge's influence over women turns the private test into an open struggle for control of the Celestial Clan. Valkyries refuse to betray Du Ge even while kneeling before their king, and the social disorder spreads across his territory. The Celestial God King responds as an administrator and autocrat: he seeks specialists who can explain keywords, orders Du Ge's images removed from the Star Network, declares his former Thunder God of War a traitor, and redirects all fleets from the Zorn campaign toward the God of War. His hostility is thus driven not only by wounded pride but by a visible breakdown of command. (Chapter 630)
He then offers the Seed back to the Zorn God King in exchange for an alliance, reasoning that restoring order matters more than the prize if Du Ge remains alive. When Du Ge vanishes, the God King refuses to chase blindly; confident that an ambitious opponent must reappear, he consolidates his forces and prepares a battlefield on his own terms. He captures goddesses loyal to Du Ge and announces staggered executions on Lalon Planet, using their devotion to force a confrontation while keeping almost twenty motherships and his male main gods ready around his enormous command ship. (Chapters 631, 634)
The domain battle at Lalon
At Lalon, the Celestial God King attacks personally because Du Ge's choice to target him first feels like an insult. His domain slows almost everything around him, leaving lesser gods moving at fractions of his speed, while his fists empty or shatter the reinforced shields of capital ships. He tries to dismantle Du Ge's fleet before its specialists can coordinate. Yet Janice makes him love the Hurricane, preventing him from destroying it, and Du Ge exploits the divided attention to keep reaching his back and stripping away armor. Pride eventually makes him turn for a direct exchange, allowing Du Ge's rule-like theft to remove a lung despite his otherwise impenetrable defense. (Chapters 635–636)
The lung regrows almost immediately, and neither fighter can safely defeat the other head-on, so the God King tries negotiation while his main gods overwhelm Du Ge's companions. That advantage collapses when love bonds make his warriors protect ships rather than obey retreat orders, after which Du Ge marks them one by one. The God King withdraws and restores his domain to save the Hurricane, leaving himself isolated. He finally accepts cooperation when Du Ge threatens the beloved vessel and offers to leave both freedom and the Seed to him later, but he insists that the humiliating artificial love be broken. (Chapters 636–637)
Accepting a stronger center of power
Their settlement remains wary. The Celestial God King argues that Du Ge should destroy himself rather than leave an overwhelmingly powerful body available to a greater enemy, while Du Ge counters that only his continued presence offers a defense. The king ultimately agrees to cooperate after recognizing that his fleets and principal gods have already shifted allegiance. Du Ge even hands him the Seed as a test of trust; unwilling to concede total moral defeat or surrender his option to betray, he returns it. Within days, however, Du Ge grows fast enough to match him inside the domain without a positional advantage and secretly marks his back, turning the alliance into an unseen binding. (Chapters 637–640)
The Celestial God King thereafter provides both military legitimacy and front-line power. He brings knowledge of Rad Dao-fruit methods, marches beside Du Ge against Zorn and the First Saint, opens his domain to shape the battlefield, and protects the Queen Mother's more fragile host while she maintains her disruptive gaze. After the old rivals submit or flee, he consolidates his people, helps eliminate the invading possessors, and addresses Du Ge as Supreme God. By his latest appearance, he stands with Zorn and the other God Kings in awe as Du Ge strikes the universal barrier, accepting that the newcomer has surpassed power he accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years. (Chapters 640, 643–646, 648, 650, 653)
Keywords, skills, and cultivation
God King's domain
The Celestial God King's signature domain slows the flow of movement, energy, projectiles, speech, and many supernatural actions throughout the surrounding space while leaving him unaffected. Resistance scales with power: Du Ge's teleportation is initially reduced by roughly half, Janice can move more freely than the Moon God, and the king's main gods move several times faster than Du Ge's lesser allies. The resulting speed difference lets him cross the field, break multiple ship shields, and threaten slower gods before they can respond. The domain also fills vacuum with a medium through which ordinary sound can travel. (Chapter 635)
The domain suppresses rather than absolutely stops opponents. Thoughts remain clear, rule-like keyword skills can still activate, and a fighter with enough raw power or a temporary speed bonus can contest the king. It also slows his allies and their attacks, making its greatest value relative: the Celestial God King and stronger subordinates retain more usable speed than their enemies. Masters with strong spatial properties, including the First Saint and Zorn God King, can partly counter it, while Du Ge's continuing growth eventually allows him to match the king's speed inside the field even without attacking from behind. (Chapters 635, 640, 644)
Divine physique and close combat
Beyond the domain, the Celestial God King possesses immense strength, speed, teleportation, and defense. A single punch can drain a reinforced mothership shield, and a proton cannon cannot ordinarily injure his body. His close-combat judgment lets him recognize ambush patterns and rapidly switch among ships or vulnerable officers. These qualities make him a genuine God King rather than a specialist dependent on one field effect, and they allow him to protect the Queen Mother during the later battle against opponents who could otherwise destroy her host. (Chapters 635–636, 645)
His body also regrows organs at extreme speed: the lung Du Ge removes has already returned while the two assess one another, and his shaved hair returns as well. This resilience makes ordinary wounds and even organ loss poor methods of killing him. It does not, however, block abilities that take an object without first piercing its defense, nor does it free his judgment from imposed love or private-property effects. His greatest practical limitations are therefore law-like skills, emotional leverage, and opponents whose growth raises their speed beyond the comparative advantage of his domain. (Chapters 635–636, 640)
Dao-fruit study
The Celestial God King has obtained and studied the Rad God's Dao-fruit cultivation methods and once attempted to use them to enhance himself. The Celestial God Clan's physique is poorly matched to the Rad system, so the gains remain limited and he eventually abandons active practice. His knowledge is still valuable: it gives Du Ge access to another route toward the universal barrier and helps the coalition compare native cultivation with domain power. The technique never carries the king into a new named realm or a complete Dao fruit. (Chapter 640)
Command authority and fleet warfare
As sovereign, the Celestial God King commands fleets across a multi-civilization domain, main gods with distinct powers, and a God King mothership roughly three times the size of an ordinary capital ship. He can redirect the war, suppress information, issue public appointments, and turn captured adherents into bait. This institutional power lets him construct the Lalon trap and later broadcast Du Ge's emergency orders across the universe. Its limitation is obedience: once Du Ge's abilities redirect the Valkyries and main gods, the enormous fleet ceases to be an extension of the king's will, forcing him to bargain as an individual combatant. (Chapters 622, 627, 630, 634, 636, 646)
Items
- God King mothership: The Celestial God King's command vessel and the center of his fleet. It is about three times the size of a normal mothership and serves as the setting for his negotiations with Du Ge after Lalon. (Chapters 634, 637)
- Seed of Humanity: The prize around which his rivalry with Zorn and Du Ge turns. He tries to summon Du Ge with it, offers it to Zorn to secure an alliance, briefly accepts it from Du Ge, and returns it rather than admit dependence. He never permanently possesses it. (Chapters 627, 631, 638)
- Book of the Supreme God's Proverbs: Du Ge's public religious code helps convince the king that his challenger is a boastful fraud before their battle. The king's dismissal of it becomes ironic after he later addresses Du Ge as Supreme God. (Chapters 631, 648)
Relationships
Du Ge
The Celestial God King first rewards Du Ge as an instrument against Zorn, then seeks his death once he becomes a rival source of military and religious authority. Their Lalon battle demonstrates that the king is physically superior in a direct contest but vulnerable to Du Ge's combined skills and coalition tactics. He accepts cooperation to preserve his freedom and civilization, unaware that Du Ge later marks him as private property. By the end, he follows Du Ge as Supreme God and treats his survival as the universe's principal defense. (Chapters 622, 627, 630–640, 648–653)
Zorn God King
The Zorn God King is his ancient rival and rough equal. Their clans compete for universal supremacy, and the Celestial God King initially views the loss of the Seed as an opportunity to conquer Zorn territory. Du Ge's destabilization forces them into a temporary anti-Du-Ge agreement, but mutual distrust prevents a durable alliance. They finally serve together under Du Ge after Zorn's defeat, standing as fellow God Kings rather than competing centers of universal rule. (Chapters 619, 627, 631, 643–645, 650, 653)
Janice
Janice is the key specialist in his defeat. Her destined-connection skill makes him love the Hurricane, causing him to spare it, reveal emotional distress when it is threatened, and repeatedly use his domain to protect it. He bargains for the bond's removal after surrendering, but the episode proves that his immense physical and spatial power offers no automatic protection against a keyword's imposed relationship. (Chapters 635–637)
Queen Mother
The Queen Mother initially considers him a likely participant in the coalition against Du Ge. Their actual cooperation comes only after both have been defeated: her gaze forces the First Saint and Zorn God King to evade, while the Celestial God King protects her Giant body from their retaliation. The pairing combines a rule-like control effect with the direct strength needed to keep its user alive. (Chapters 623, 645)
Birmingham
Birmingham begins as the Celestial God King's Thunder God of War and fleet commander. The king promises reinforcements to his force, then treats Birmingham as a traitor once he follows Du Ge. At Lalon, the king immediately targets his former subordinate inside the domain, showing that institutional loyalty has become a personal battlefield grievance. Du Ge's intervention prevents the killing blow. (Chapters 619, 626, 630, 635)
