@reverend.georg: “BEAUTY DOES NOT OPEN A PATH.” — Fang Yuan Rejects a Witch (Part 4) Fang Yuan (Reverend Insanity) — ​1. Background & Origin ​Fang Yuan (方源) is the central protagonist of Reverend Insanity (Gu Daoist Master / Gu Zhen Ren). Originally a scholar transmigrated from modern Earth to the Gu World, he spent his first five centuries as a mortal and later a demonic Gu Immortal. Experiencing the heights of betrayal, starvation, sectarian persecution, and existential struggle across the Five Regions (Southern Border, Western Desert, Eastern Sea, Northern Plains, and Central Continent), he forged the Rank 6 Time Path Immortal Gu—the Spring Autumn Cicada (春秋蝉). Besieged by the righteous path factions and Heavenly Court, he detonated his own body to send his will back down the River of Time, initiating a cycle of rebirths that established him as an unprecedented anomaly outside the control of Fate. ​2. Philosophy & Psychological Architecture ​Fang Yuan is the literary definition of an absolute, rational demonic cultivator: ​The Pursuit of Eternal Life: His sole, non-negotiable objective is immortality (Eternal Life). He openly admits that attaining it may be impossible, but asserts that the process of striving toward it without regret is the only meaningful existence. ​Complete Moral & Emotional Detachment: Fang Yuan views morality, reputation, love, family, beauty, and hatred as transient mortal illusions created by society to control the weak. He feels no sadism in killing and no pride in victory; every action is evaluated purely on a balance sheet of costs, risks, and benefits (Benefits are paramount). ​Adaptability & Lack of Ego: He possesses zero superficial pride. If groveling, pretending to be weak, or acting as an obedient servant yields greater survival or profit, he will do so instantly without inner conflict. Conversely, if slaughtering millions serves his purpose, he acts without hesitation. ​Perception of the Physical Form: Having inhabited mortal bodies, decayed into a Rank 6 Immortal Zombie (Eight-Armed Heavenly Zombie), and later acquired the supreme Sovereign Immortal Body (至尊仙胎, refined from Sovereign Immortal Fetus Gu), he regards the physical vessel merely as an alchemical shell or engine. Physical beauty, gender, and worldly desires hold zero intrinsic value to him. ​3. Cultivation Paths & Mechanics ​Aperture & Primeval/Immortal Essence: Power in the Gu World stems from an inner aperture that stores primeval essence (mortal ranks 1–5) or immortal essence beads (ranks 6–9). Without an aperture or Gu worms, a cultivator cannot naturally channel energy. ​Dao Marks (道痕): Universal laws etched onto the body and soul. Each path (Time, Soul, Wisdom, Blood, Refinement, Transformation, etc.) utilizes specific Dao marks. Dao marks enhance corresponding techniques while clashing with conflicting elements (a restriction bypassed only by the Sovereign Immortal Body). ​Soul Cultivation (Soul Path): Through artifacts like Dang Hun Mountain (producing Guts Gu) and Luo Po Valley (purifying wind), Fang Yuan developed a resilient, deep-layered soul capable of resisting external intrusion, soul-searching, and split-soul division.. Echidna (Re:Zero) — Canonical Profile & World Mechanics ​1. Identity & Metaphysical State ​Echidna (エキドナ) is the Witch of Greed from Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World. Lived over 400 years prior to the main narrative, she sought to gather every scrap of knowledge across the world to protect humanity, only to be slain and sealed by Satella, the Witch of Envy. Her physical remains rest in the tomb at the Sanctuary, while her soul projection resides within a sub-dimensional mental space known as the Castle of Dreams (夢の城 / Tea Party) #reverendinsanity #fangyuan #echidna
