Xinwang

**Xinwang** is the great-grandson of Pangu and the successor to Yudi. After undergoing training with Amenominakanushi and becoming a god, Xinwang helped root out the hard control of the Five Comsology Gods and became the leading figure of the new celestial bureaucracy of Taoism.

Out of worries over his aging and depleting political influence in the celestial realms, Xinwang began making discreet deals with the Five Comsology Gods and Wuxi and Hundun, as well as Caligo and Asherah.

He attempted to sacrifice Izanagi and Ebisu to open up the 12 Multiverses Cycles Gates and claim a spot as the Supreme Lord of Creation, though the last part was confirmed only to be a hyperbole which Tian made him believe.

## Overview

Xinwang has no mythological records, though he can be compared to Tianzi, as in this story, he is the one who inherits leadership form the Five Cosmology Gods after the First Sino-Chinese Divine War.

## Appearance

Xinwang's appearance was that of an elderly balding man with white hair and elongated earlobes much like a Buddha. His eyes were almost always seen closed, and when opened it showed red eyes. He wore a Sage uniform.

When he was younger, he was an attractive man with long flowing red hair with uplifted dark red bangs and a youthful visage. His right eye had the **Ω** symbol in it, while his left eye had the **α** symbol in it.

After sacrificing Izanagi and Ebisu, he regained his youthful appearance, as well as the divine aura that he lost over the ages.

## Personality

Xinwang had been shown to be cunning and unrelenting. He was able to figure out what Xinwangmu was plotting when she suggested the cease fire, while taking notice of Nezha's hasty and abrasive suggestions. He was quick to attack and subdue others that showed resistance or disrespected him such as when he attacked Amenominakanushi for blocking him or when he choked Nezha for talking back.

He also liked to play with his words, trying to sound charming or vague, such as when he tried to compliment Benzaiten about her appearance, when he gave warning to Amenominakanushi's want for unsealing his power, or when he promised his 'sons' whoever contributed the most would become 'the next' Jade Emperor. He often spoke like this with a smile.

He was an opportunist, seeing the individuality of the Monkey King and using it to persuade him to join the Second-Crowned Illustrious Jurisdiction. He also used his descendant, Gautama Buddha, as part of his experiments, with an excuse that he was more human than gods.

After becoming Jade Emperor, he also grew arrogant and supercilious. At one point he compared his fellow humans to caterpillars and stated that they are fate was the saddest of all races, as only a select 1% could enter the realms of the Gods. He was angered when mortalized Ameno gave him a tough time as he couldn't believe a mere fallen Primordial God could make him feel fear.

Tian noted that since his young days, Xinwang always played his strength, sometimes appearing weak or strong. He often did this in front of others such as when he met Mortalized Ameno and his sister, appearing to be a frail old man while in truth he was a god. At the same time he was also shown to be quite perverted, exploiting his old state to grope Takanashi Hikari's butt and look below Guanyin's skirt.

During time he played Janggi with Umashiashikabihikoji he showed a competitive side. He lashed at Umashiashikabihikoji's dog for losing and later blew up the board with his third eye. He was also shown to be not above cheating in simple games, as he used his third eye to cheat in Janggi.

Despite all of the above, he was be a graceful loser, not finishing mortalized Ameno after the latter gave him a decent fight, instead he rewarded him and his allies who were present with a chance of living. Xinwang's inner thoughts reveal that he has deep respect for Amenominakanushi, putting him on the same level as his masters Tian and Wuxi, who he was afraid of. That's why he didn't want to finish him off in his weakened state.

He was also rewarding to those who caught his interest, even to his enemies. He give Mortalized Ameno a warning in advance so he withdraw from the match, stating that mortalized Ameno's attitude and personality was what he liked and it would be a shame for him to die. Later when he saw mortalized Ameno's guts, something that had taken him off-guard, he decided to reward him and his allies even further by leaving the Human Realm for a hundred years, praising the current strength of humans.

Doumu mentioned that compared to her and Tian, Xinwang was exceptionally merciful and generous to the humans; this was shown by the fact that he saved Nezha from being stoned to death that earned him her absolute loyalty. He, himself, admitted that although he had no issue with divine punishment falling upon humans, he was against their senseless extinction. Some of the Council of Godheads saw this as his weakness.

After being defeated by Izanami, who sacrificed 99.9% of his enhanced life-force to re-open the 12 Multiversal Gates and save Izanagi and Ebisu. He was hunted by Tian's servants for failing to destroy any of the Kotoamatsukami and when Nezha and Xuanwu, his most loyal followers, held off the attacks, he showed sincere gratitude and regret at treating them poorly. As an act of atonement, he healed Nezha's daughter and Takanashi Hikari, later giving his last bits of power to the latter.

## History

The world was created thanks to Pangu's flesh and blood. The fields spread wide, the mountains scrapping the skies, the rivers flowing freely and the spiritual energy filling every single thing. From Pangu remained a single boy who would grow up to be the First King of China. His son was dethroned and his grandson was driven to isolation. His great-grandson, however, **Xinwang** was a gifted child. He gained a quick and clean understanding of how the world worked and soon rose to greatness in both military and scholar aspects.

Later on, to achieve the ultimate greatness, he pled to become Tian's personal student, but his offer was brutally refused. As a revenge, he became Amenominakanushi's student instead and aided him in defeating the Five Comsology Gods. He became the new Supreme Leader of Tao.

However, his divinity was inferior to that of the Five Cosmology Gods and so he could still age, albeit extremely slowly. When his power and life force reallyb began depleting, he started employing conniving tactics to save his own rule. He conspired with the Five Cosmology Gods, whom he was 'officially an enemy of' and Caligo, Asherah and Nyarlathotep.

Through his connections, he managed to keep a strong grip on the Chinese Multiverse. However, these connections and contracts were also a double-edged sword as Tian explained, further going on to say that even if he hadn't failed him he would've eventually invoked the wrath of the other supreme beings he had diplomatic relationships with.

## Powers and Abilities

He was shown to be a very powerful individual, capable of fighting on par with Sun Wukong and was hinted to be even more powerful in his younger days. Guanyin mentioned that Xinwang never once showed his true power after completing his training with Amenominakanushi, even though it was said that he himself defeated Sun Wukong and an army of twelve billion monsters at the same time. He was powerful enough to restrain the Monkey King and his clones while using his fundamental force manipulation to easily choke Nezha, despite his old age. Izanami had taken notice of his strength as well, feeling a shiver when she walked down the halls. He also display an ability to unveil people's cloaking abilities.

**Immense Divine Power**: Amenominakanushi says that upon deifing Xinwang, the latter far exceeded his expectations as his aura was five times greater and more intense than that of the average Chief God-Class Being. Later on, with enhancement from Yudi's body, his divine power grew exponentially and the mere release of it was enough to disperse all of Sun Wukong's clones. His aura has a tint of red and orange, just like his hair.

**Immense Strength**: Xinwang easily clashed and broke Mortalized Ameno's Masamune Sword, something he couldn't do as an old man. He also fought against three of the Seven Lucky Gods, who were known for their great strength, Ryujin, Daikokuten and easily defeated them while his power was negated by Sakyua-Hime's skill.

**Immense Speed**: Xinwang had shown to be a fast combatant. He was able to keep up with Sun Wukong using Limiter Removal 720 times. This was enhanced even further when he regained his youth by sacrificing Izanagi and Ebisu, as shown when he, without his Fundamental Force Manipulation, easily dodged and simultaneously counterattacked , Daikokuten, Ryujin, Susanoo and Kagutsuchi.

**Immense Durability**: Even in his old body, he was able to fight against Ryujin and Susanoo and then Amenotokotachi, and came out with only minor damage. Later he demonstrated similar durability by taking multiple attacks from Izanami and coming out unscathed.

**Immense Senses**: Xinwang could sense someone even if they used an ability to render themselves invisible. He could also sense the difference between energies as he noted that it was Izanami, not Yama, that activated the arc without his permission. Due to Takanashi Hikari inheriting this ability, it can be presumed that this ability originated from the sage's physical power.

**Supreme God Physiology**: Xinwang is a Supreme Deity, a god/goddess who unquestionably upholds sovereignty between its pantheon, so it is associated with higher divine abilities and considered far more powerful by reason of being controllers of the universe. Supreme Deities are commonly seen in mythology, and were important among ancient and current civilizations for its impact. Supreme Deities are characterized as the leader of its respective pantheon, ruling them. They're also not absolutely perfect as a Monotheistic God is said to be, considering there are stories detailing their misadventures.

* **Wisdom of the Sage**: The cosmic unity of Yin and Yang, capable of controlling multiverses was an attribute exclusive to the Five Comsology Gods who ruled the Chinese Worlds. Out of the Pangu Descendants, only Xinwang had it inherited, but he only unlocked it after becoming a God.
	+ **Lower-Tier Nigh-Omnipotence**: A Sage God has absolute control over the 12 Major Domains, each of which is the size of 10 universes. Xinwang can access its power, but not on the level of the likes of Tian and Doumu unless with enhancements from Yudi body. He used Wisdom of the Sage to gain power of peerless strength and skill, supreme divinity, omni-creation, lesser eternity and others. He was able to give a hard time to Izanami using Power of the Archreaper, who also had help from Kagutsuchi, Umashiashikabihikoji and Amenotokotachi.
	+ **Fundemental Force Manipulation**: Xinwang has control of the four fundamental forces of the universe, reaching nearly any effect he desire.

		- **Pure Flesh**: By combining Blade of Tathagata, inertia and zero frictional force, The King could deal a powerful blow that can't be completely blocked by the Armor Suit of Sun Wukong, although Xinwang himself commented that if he was in his prime, it would have pierced the armor suit.
		- **Big Bang**: Xinwang, using Strong Force, created a big ball of nuclear energy that dwarfed the Ark. He stated that he would regress Asia back to the 'Stone Age'. He also stated that he used this technique centuries ago to 'flood' the world
		- **Planet Toss**: Xinwang, using his Gravity Manipulation, tossed around planets as an attack. Xinwang displayed this in his old age when he fought Sun Wukong, throwing two planets at the Monkey King.
		- **Gravity Manipulation**: Xinwang's most iconic ability, manipulating gravity for various purposes, ranging from lifting Ruyi Jingu to trapping his enemies in a gravity field. Later Xinwang showed that he could use it to redirect attacks to his opponent by bending space around him using gravity.
		- **Velocity Manipulation**: The King was able to manipulate the velocity of objects around him. By manipulating the velocity of wind around Ruyi Jingu, the King was able to induce drag and stop it before it managed to hit him.
		- **Friction Manipulation**: Manipulating frictional force enabled the Xinwang to slip off the enemy's hold effortlessly. It could also be used to slip off an attack, preventing the opponent from damaging him. With this ability he shook off Sun Wukong's blow with his Armor Suit and limiter removed 24 times.
		- **Inertia Manipulation**: By increasing his body's resistance to change in its state of motion, Xinwang could use minimum amounts of physical strength to deal damaging blows to his enemy.
		- **Electromagnetism Manipulation**: By using this power the Xinwang redirected Geundoowun's lightning strike to his cane instead of hitting him. He could also use it to strike lightning into his enemies like Geundoowun's lightning strike.
		- **Weak Force Manipulation**: Using the very force that decays nuclear particles, Xinwang could destroy any object in his path.
		- **Attraction & Repulsion**: Xinwang could use this to pull someone to him or push them back. Usually he did it by pulling someone to him then using repulsion to augment his attack.
		- **Strong Force Manipulation:** By manipulating the very force that binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei, Xinwang could imitate the state of nuclear fusion inside stars.
	+ **Technique Mimicry**: Similar to the Five Comsology Gods to a slightly inferior extend, Xinwang had the ability to copy other people's skills and techniques. It was for the first time against Susanoo and Amaterasu, where he replicated their 'Thousand Fiery Storm' combo-technique against them, beating both.
	+ **Power Bestowal**: Xinwang could grant others superhuman abilities.
	+ **Attack Reflection**: Xinwang could turn his opponent's attack against them.

	+ **Acupuncture**: Could strike specific tiny parts of the nervous systems of others to cause them intense pain and physical paralyzis.

	+ **Reactive Power-Level**: Izanami sensed that Xinwang was slowly growing stronger as their fight went on, causing her to increase her efforts in killing him.

**Genuis-Level Intellect**: Xinwang possessed an extremely gifted prodigy, called the 'Three-Eyed Sage of the Twelve Universal Paths' and the greatest genius of Tao since Tian. His intellect is actually his strongest trait, as he always had very extensive comprehension of all things and after becoming a God and gathering all types of knowledge over the centuries, his library became full and within an hour he could write entire novella-sized theorems on unconceivable things such as 'at what velocity would Asherah's panties need to spin in order to be able to apply a big enough air resistence to create fire in the air'. Amenominakanushi reprimended Takami-Musubi for underestimating Xinwang, as he personally knew that Xinwang was one of the most intelligent individuals in the whole world and knew how to navigate through the field of immensely powerful entities that loomed over him.

* **Pro Gamer**: Xinwang is an expert gamer, too. In an extra chapter, he appeared in one of C'thalpa's stream in her Elder Scrolls XX stream under the username 'OldButGold64' and easily beat her using ten combos that she claimed were near-impossible.
* **Master​ Strategist:** Xinwang was considered a top 10 strategist in the supernatural world and all worlds, being able to outsmart and outwit the likes of Chronos and Nyarlathotep at times. He has an almost flawless notion of all things in the multiverses and can map out all possible tactics his enemies may come up with, which made Amaterasu and Susanoo believe he was omnipresent and omniscient, because he knew exactly where they would be and how they would fight him.
* **Master Tactician**: Xinwang is a very intelligent man. It can adapt quickly to new developments and make quick decisions accordingly. He has a great tactical sense, proven by his preparations before a decisive battle. He is also very cunning, setting up a trap to kill or weaken his enemies. He is a very shrewd man, easily deducing when someone is lying to him. His skill in combat tactics is undeniable. he is also renowned for rarely failing in front of the gods. He also holds a great instinct: Xinwang possesses an extraordinary instinct that allows him to feel imminent danger, acute danger, potential immediate danger or imminent danger and to feel undesirable or undesirable threats to his well-being and to avoid it.
* **Master Inventor**: Xinwang was a master inventor as he created the Borrowed Power and the National Treasure system to bestow upon Humans. Kami-Musubi and Amenominakanushi praised him for coming up with the National Treasures, which were as strong as their Regalia.
* **Master Destructor**: Even when preforming destruction, Xinwang knows what exactly to destroy and how. He has an apt sense for force interactions.

**Master Stealth**: Xinwang was able to hide his presence from Sun Wukong, attacking Amaterasu and Susanoo without the former even sensing any disruptions in the lay lines of energy. He was also able to preform masterful pinpoint obscuring as he hid the energy signature of twelve of his force blasts which unexpectedly hit Umashiashikabihikoji's weak points.

**Flight**: Using his Fundemental Force Manipulation, Xinwang can control gravity and air to freely fly with no effort.

## Equipment

**Tianlong**: Tianlong (天龙 "heavenly dragon") is a long silver eastern sword with a dragon symbol. The sword itself is a transformed version of Tianlong, Tian's battle partner and one of the original Heavenly Dragons. It was given to Xinwang to fight Kotoamatsukami and Amatsukami. Xinwang could cut the 2nd and 3rd Low Realm Universes in half just by casually swinging it in the air. The more special attacks were also ingited with the aura of a celestial dragon god. The blade was said to be able to cut through anything, including Primordial Entities and Pre-Existential Entities.

**Greed**: To prolong his lifespan, Xinwang experimented with 'Greed', which are blobs of Hundun's body. They are extremely potent towards divine beings and can reduce Divine Power by almost a half. If utilized correctly on the right person, they can be used as a passive unlimited mana source that keeps you rejuvinated at all times, completely nullifying the need to rest, meditate, eat or drink.

* **Dante**: Xinwang experimented with 60% of his male descendants, but none of them were able to achieve a 100% success rate on the tests and instead they became abominations that devoured their womb mothers. Instead of terminating them as it was humane to do, Tian ordered **Xinwang** to keep the **Dante** in the Underworld Vaults. During the Second Sino-Japanese Divine War, they were released to fight Kotoamatsukami and Seven Lucky Gods. All of the Dante shown great combat abilities such as extensive Energy Manipulation, Superb Regeneration, Telekinesis and a few were even able to use scrambles of Wisdom of the Sage.
* **Beatrice**: As he had already used Healing Magic on Nezha, Xuanwu, Nezha's daughter, Xinwang could not fully heal Takanashi Hikari, so he infused her with all the Greed he could gather. Takanashi Hikari had genes perfectly compatible to the Greed and she adjusted to the changes on her body with only 1,7845% error. As a nod to the real Dante Alighieri, **Xinwang** decided to give her the epithet **Beatrice**, since she was 'pure' and free of 'flaw'.

**Robe of the Sage**: inherited the official robe of Pangu, which was woven from his skin and bone marrow. It has an insane resistance towards all physical attacks.

**Cane of the Sage**: Pangu's cane, which allowed him to weave the threads of Creation and fate as he pleased. With it, Xinwang can manipulate the twelve forces of Yin and Yang of the 12 Cosmic Multiverses with no problem. He was able to open up mass-portals, control space and time, absorb spiritual energy and negate immense spiritual pressure.

**Anti-Primordial Devices**: Xinwang had developed a few devices, which he called Ultra National Treasures that could help him and his servants defeat much stronger beings like the Kotoamatsukami, Protogenoi and Ogdoad. Xuanwu had a spiked mirror that could absorb Umashiashikabihikoji's physical attacks and send the force back at him. Xinwang's latest Ultra National Treasure was inherited by Takanashi Hikari - a black nail polish.
