1. Sheng Liu: The Serpent of Ambition
Rank: Peak Earth-Sovereign (Mortal)
Aura: Corrosive Green / Shadow
Profile: The catalyst of the war. Sheng is a man who traded his humanity for a seat at the table of gods. He is cold, calculating, and driven by a singular hatred for the Xia Clan's prosperity. He doesn't seek balance; he seeks total erasure.
The Threat: His mastery over "Soul-Corroding Arts" makes him a nightmare for standard cultivators. To him, the war is a harvest where every death feeds his own power.
2. Lui Yuan: The Frost Emperor
Rank: High-Divine (11th Universe Hegemon)
Aura: Glacial Blue / Absolute Zero
Profile: A man who froze his own heart to achieve immortality. He governs the Northern Frost Domains of the 11th Universe. Silence follows him; where he walks, the molecular vibration of life itself stops.
The Threat: His "Absolute Zero Domain" can freeze time for anyone weaker than a God. He views Rien not as a threat, but as a "heat source" that must be extinguished to maintain the eternal winter of his reign.
3. Asura: The God of Death
Rank: Primordial Death Entity
Aura: Blood Crimson / Soul-Grey
Profile: Not a man, but a force of nature. Asura has watched trillions of souls pass through the 11th Universe. He is the guardian of the "End." He joined the alliance because Rien's existence defies the natural laws of passing.
The Threat: He wields the Lament of the Void. A single glance from Asura can sever the connection between a soul and its body. He is the only one who doesn't fight for land or power—he fights to restore the "Order of the Grave."
4. Seraphina: The Blind Spot of Fate
Rank: Unknown (Beyond Perception)
Aura: Void Iridescence
Profile: The true wild card. While the others plan for war, Seraphina plans for a "Reset." She is the only one who can stand in the same room as Rien without him sensing her heartbeat. She is the whisper in the ear of the Frost Emperor and the hand that guides Sheng Liu's blade.
The Threat: Her "Cosmic Erasure" ability doesn't just kill; it removes the target from history itself. She is the only antagonist who doesn't fear Rien—she is fascinated by him
