Xiu

Overview
Xiu is the soul that resides in Shen Yanxiao's body. He helps her raise her strength and develops feelings for Shen Yanxiao as he watch her grow up from an idiot and waste to the current Demon Lord of Radiance Continent.

Xiu can be regarded as a mixture of God and devil. He has the power of the God Race and the nature of the Devil Race. When the battle of the Gods and devils had not yet begun, there were many human beings who had regarded him as a devil. But in fact, he is a Superior God (Chapter 1129).

His real name is Di Xiu (chapter 1825).

His other name is War God Asura but he was not the first War God. Those who could hold the position of War God were the most powerful superior gods of the God Race.

Yun Qi removed all the curses he had placed on Xiu's soul in chapter 2456. Xiu is completely revived in chapter 2457.

Background
Before Xiu came into being, the War Gods of all past generations were not Satan’s opponents. Satan and the Lord God came into this world together. Before Xiu took the position of War God, there was no superior god that could defeat Satan except the Lord God. Xiu was one of the strongest of all the gods (Chapter 2079).

War God Title
The War God of the God Race is selected from among the strongest gods. The name of "Asura" belongs to the War Gods. He was not the first War God. The one before him was also called "Asura".

He did not occupy the position of War God at birth, but his strength surpassed that of the previous War God, so he took the position of War God.

War God, the powerful existence among the God Race that was second only to the Ruling God/Lord God. Only the strongest gods could be qualified to stand in this position (Chapter 1825).

The word "Asura" was the indelible symbol of the War God.

10,000 Years Ago
During the battle against the Devil Race, Xiu personally led one hundred thousand Gods against the devil army of the Devil Race, and fought against millions of devils with the one hundred thousand Gods. He killed tens of thousands of devil soldiers of the opposite side, and the demons that died under his hand was countless (Chapter 1127).

Although Xiu was extremely powerful, it was absolutely impossible for him to crush Satan in a fight. The strength of Satan is also incomparably tyrannical. The two of them fought each other for nearly a month; many soldiers of both sides had been killed in the battle already. The final result of the battle between Xiu and Satan was that both of them were defeated and wounded. In order to prevent Satan from fleeing, Xiu used his power that enables him to devour the devils’ power to swallow Satan. He just swallowed the power of Satan, not ate him.

He devoured the soul of Satan because Satan is too powerful, he’s almost an immortal. Xiu is the only one in the God Race that can integrate with the power of the Devil Race, so he could only use his specialty to devour the soul of Satan, but Satan's soul is too powerful. Although Xiu could swallow it, it would be impossible to completely destroy the soul of Satan inside his body even after tens of thousands of years. Therefore, Xiu, until the end, used his own remaining power and froze himself inside black ice. Since he can’t destroy his soul, he decided to seal himself along with Satan forever (Chapter 1128).

Before His Revival:
The coldness of Xiu is like an iceberg that never melted for thousands of years, which leaves people in awe, and also made them dare not approach (Chapter 2035).

"A peerless, number one beautiful man in the entire land under the heavens... As long as he stood in front of others, even if he were just wearing ragged clothes, it would also become an avant-garde fashion trend. Xiu's face and temperament were enough to kill all the male creatures in the whole world in seconds." - Chapter 2060

After His Revival:
His appearance had not changed a bit, and his cold temperament had not been reversed in the slightest, either. His long black hair was tied up casually with a hair tie, and instead of the white clothing he had when he was moving around as a soul, he was now wearing the golden armor of the past war between gods and devils. He was really, godly handsome.

This embrace was so warm that people would be reluctant to part. It was as though as long as you lean on this embrace, everything in this world could no longer hurt you.

Dressed in this armor, his demeanor as the first superior god was finally shown: a powerful momentum that no one could match (Chapter 2458).

Before His Revival:
He is usually calm, has a cold personality, and nothing will change his indifferent face. In front of Shen Yanxiao, Xiu will show love, care, concerns, and many more emotions. When he is training her, he is not at all benevolent and soft-hearted!

Although he does not express much emotions, he will closely monitor any "small love rivals" who was not afraid of threats as they cast flirtatious glances at Shen Yanxiao. He is not a talkative god.
 * Examples: Zhanye in chapter 2025. Mingye in chapters 2096-2099.

After His Revival:
Xiu’s degree of doting on Shen Yanxiao had reached a level of insanity. Defying his wishes and delaying Shen Yanxiao’s rest was absolutely unpardonable, without any chance of discussion.

When treating Shen Yanxiao, Xiu would always be as warm as a hot spring, moistening things in silence, but when treating others, he would be like a snowstorm, freezing the souls of people.

Speaking of Xiu’s cold and detached behaviour to others, it had also caused many young ladies to scream. This kind of peerlessly handsome man who only smiled at the person he loved was simply the right person for all women!

Of course, other women could only think about it. So far, Xiu had not said a word to any female creature other than Shen Yanxiao. He had not even given them alms out of the corner of his eye (Chapter 2464).

His Smile
Xiu’s smile was really good-looking. He smiled only a few times, but every time he did, Shen Yanxiao felt that all the turmoil in the world had melted under his smile. Just like being in a mountain surrounded by wild flowers blooming abundantly everywhere, all directions were filled with a sweet fragrance. If his expressionless face were ninety-nine percent lethal, then his smiling face was enough to pierce through the sky (Chapter 2437).

Overview
A divine weapon of the first War God of God Race. It symbolized the status of the War God. Yaksha returned Xiu's weapon in chapter 2083.

Background
The first divine weapon of the gods, with the power to protect the God Race, capable of cutting space, can tear apart boundaries. It is rumored that when heaven and earth were just created, a divine stone came down with the Lord God and Satan. One divine stone was divided into two pieces. One was taken away by Satan and was made into a dark magic sword with the power to devour souls, while the other was taken away by the Lord God and was used to create the first divine weapon that protects the God Race (Chapter 2076).

Recovering Power
Xiu was unable to use the Asura’s Blade to recover his strength before because he was only in a soul state. However, the power of Neptune’s Trident has built a bridge between him and Asura’s Blade. Now, he can directly recover his own power with this blade. In addition, the divine power in Neptune’s Trident has filled up the previously exhausted part of him (Chapter 2415).

Shen Yanxiao
Ever since Xiu met Shen Yanxiao, he started talking more, unlike his past where he rarely spoken a word. He cherished his words like gold.

The one who knew Shen Yanxiao the best was none other than Xiu.

Whenever Shen Yanxiao is injured or missing, Xiu's normally calm, cold, indifferent, and rational mind is anxious and angry.

As the most outstanding God of the eight major races, even things like "love" could be self-taught, and he could also have a natural talent with it (Chapter 1376).

Xiu confessed his feelings for Shen Yanxiao to live and die together for eternity (Chapters 1423-1426). "Shen Yanxiao’s body had a quarter of elven blood, even before the experiment. She was a little mixed-race girl. However, this did not cause any hindrance for Xiu. He still loved her deeply.
 * They officially become fiancé-fiancée.
 * Their kiss of promise was in chapter 1425.
 * When Shen Yanxiao turns 18-years-old, she will marry him.
 * He said the words "I love you" in chapter 1426.

''To love a person had nothing to do with appearance, birth, ability, race, nor family background. What he loved was her soul. Even if she changed her appearance and was no longer a peerless beauty, he would still love her. Even if she were just an ordinary girl without the strength to truss a chicken, his feelings for her would not change.''

The feeling of falling in love was something that would come without warning.

''Not because of anything superficial, just because she was her. As long as she was by his side, his sight would involuntarily linger on her. As long as he saw her smile, his heart would be as warm as the flowers in spring. Her pair of eyes, her brows, and her every move were the most beautiful scenery in his life.''

''Xiu was very glad that Shen Yanxiao was not a female devil. Because that way, they could still give birth to their children without worrying about her death. But if Shen Yanxiao were really a devil, then Xiu would also completely give up the plan to continue his bloodline in order to ensure her safety.''

In everything, he regarded her as the most important thing." - Chapter 2530

Xiu and Shen Yanxiao are getting married tomorrow (Chapter 2759 RAW).

Since Shen Yanxiao and Xiu got married, it has been several years, but this couple, there is no such thing as a dull period. Often in front of her Phantom friends' faces showing love. Tang Nazhi and the others are abused (Chapter 2761 RAW)!

Dragon God
"The Dragon God had a formidable fighting strength among the superior gods. It could be said that many superior gods were not his opponent at all. However, there were two individuals that he never wanted to go up against in his life. One was the Lord God who gave him the status of a god. Another was the War God that was like a thousand-year-iceberg." - Chapter 1832

Xiu trampled the Dragon God within three strokes when they first meet. The Dragon God then fought with Xiu many times through various gatherings and meetings. Almost every time they met, they would fight. However, each time, the Dragon God could not get past three moves at Xiu’s hands. The memory of the past had left a huge shadow in the heart of the Dragon God. Because the Dragon God could not beat Xiu, he was used as a means of transportation for half a year from the Hidden Dragon Continent to Howling Abyss (Chapters 1972, 2020). Then from Howling Abyss to Storm Continent, and as a makeshift fighting arena (Chapters 2117-2125).
 * Example: Chapter 1833.

The Dragon God is Xiu's "sandbag". He had also, occasionally, been plastered on the walls.

If the Dragon God mocks Shen Yanxiao's friends, he will receive the “care and concern” of a certain great master, immediately joined the group of the stupid and the unscrupulous and begged for mercy in a stifled voice. Tang Nazhi and the Dragon God were really kind of alike; they were both so stupid…
 * Example: Chapter 2312.

Strength
Xiu is the God of War, the strongest War God. His fighting power can compete with the Ruling God/Lord God. Among the Superior Gods, he is second to none (Chapter 1127).

He has the power to devour and is the most powerful existence among the superior gods.

Before His Revival:
The Devil God was one of the two great gods of creation, together with the Lord God. Although he was second only to the Lord God, Xiu could not replace the Lord God at all. When Satan came to this world, Xiu still hadn’t existed. Satan’s years of experience had already surpassed any living creature other than the Lord God.

Xiu was able to secure a draw in his fight with Satan in the battle between the gods and devils in the past, relying on his power to devour.

But right now, he was only a soul, and his soul was not even complete. On the other hand, Satan had cultivated in the Tree of Life for a thousand years; his soul was complete, and he was constantly absorbing the vitality of other races to fill in its power. Once Satan was completely resurrected, his strength should surpass the peak of his strength during the war between gods and devils.

Meanwhile, after the battle between gods and devils, Xiu was used as an experimental source for racial integration experiments. Not only was his soul incomplete, but he also wasted nearly ten thousand years of time. In this kind of situation where one fell while the other rose, it was really difficult for Xiu to fight Satan (Chapter 2341).

Sky City
As luck would have it, the residence that the Dragon God lived in upon becoming a superior god was just right next to the War God’s place.

Bringing human beings into the Sky City; since ancient times, Xiu was the only superior god to do so. Even the Lord God had never done such an activity.

War God's Palace
It was a beautiful palace, larger than other palaces in the Sky City, only one size smaller than the palace of the Lord God; even so, it was still very striking.

On the other side of the gate was an endless sea of flowers. The white petals of the flowers thoroughly covered the meadow, revealing only a little green in the gaps. You can only see a white road extending from the gate of the palace towards the sea of flowers, and a white palace could be seen faintly in the distance. These flowers were made and planted by the Lord God (Chapter 2528).

Trivia

 * Whenever Xiu needed to spend time alone with Shen Yanxiao, he will shoo away anyone from the room, including Shen Yanxiao's magical beasts, her friends, and the other gods.
 * Ordinary gods could not cover too many foreign entities with divine power, nor could they be brought to the Sky City. Only a powerful superior god, like Xiu, could wrap all members of Phantom with divine power so easily.
 * As the first superior god under the Lord God, he was the most understanding of the Lord God.
