* OurGodsAreDifferent: They are usually referred to as Constellations, and they are usually referred to by their nicknames. Some are seemingly born as gods, others originate as a DeityOfHumanOrigin. There are multiple ways for a mortal to ascend, though the most conventional way would probably be the SpiritCultivationGenre. A constellation can potentially be {{Depower}}ed, weakening them or even losing their divinity completely. Stronger deities receive SuperIntelligence. Most worlds have a guardian deity responsible for managing and protecting it, which is one reason Constellation Killer's actions have inadvertently ruined so many worlds. Constellations usually interact with their followers as a ThirdPersonPerson. The strongest deities known are the Pillars, the ones who manage the Tower.

* AGodIsYou: The challenge of floors 31-40 is for the top hunter(s) to play a constellation, guiding their chosen race to domination at key points through the ages. The top ranking hunter has the option of playing on their own, but if they allow it, the next top ranking hunters can also participate, with one hunter being knocked out per floor until one race is dominant over the others. In the original timeline, Flame Emperor played by himself, turning his elves into an AxeCrazy ProudWarriorRace worshipping the god of fire. In the new timeline, Sword Saint allows his companions to pick their own races

* TheHeretic: Earth's instance of the Tower has had significant problems with cultists, forcing them to establish an entire organization dedicated to finding and killing heretics.

* LongLived: Cultivators have a lifespan longer than a normal human, or at least they can. The Murim Lord is notably [[ElderlyImmortal quite a bit older than he seems]]. However, one has to progress to a certain level considered theoretical in their world to become TheAgeless, and even then, no one lives forever.

* ShootTheDog: One local official, left in charge after everyone above him died, cut rations to the elderly and children because they would be of no use when it came to fighting off zombies. To keep the people from revolting against this order, [[HeroicSacrifice he stopped eating entirely.]]

** A bunch of hunters decide that a constellation (basically a god) is a floor boss. Despite the fact that they have already seen his power level and been warned against it, they attack him anyways. The resulting CurbstompBattle is described as a mass suicide, with them all dying gruesome deaths.
** Subverted. The 22nd floor is a Murim cultivation type world where warriors fight off demon cultivators and so on, but it got hit with a zombie plague several years back and then froze over, leaving only two survivors: An old man and an old woman, the leaders from each sect. They are still fighting even though the world has all but ended and they cannot use any energy and doing comical things like pretending the frozen zombies around them are warriors under their control. However, before long it's revealed that while the world ''was'' gearing up for a big war between the two sides, both of them immediately halted the fighting with even the Heavenly Demon leading the demon sect opening up free hospices and refusing to strike while the enemy was weakened. It just didn't matter because the spread couldn't be halted nor the infected cured, meaning the two survivors are simply choosing to die on their own terms: They consider it better to say they fought to the death against their old enemy and thus ended the world rather than have the last survivors die to a filthy disease.

** In the new timeline, the Countess takes management of the elves and establishes a culture of money grubbers. The idea was that they would use their control over the economy to TakeoverTheWorld and become the world's [[TheManBehindTheMan shadow rulers]]. Instead, they lost interest and became parasites on the goblin economy. These elves keep receipts of every expense spent on their children and expect their children to pay them back with interest, minus the family discount of course. The Countess failed to account for the fact that elves are not a naturally ambitious race, so once they were able to become the economic center of the world they stopped caring about increasing their own power and instead became a race of parasites dependent on the dominant goblin civilization.

* BrokeYourFistPunchingOutCthulhu: It is entirely possible for mortals to kill gods. However, this can carry consequences, especially if the god in question was a world's guardian deity, in which case you have made its world more fragile. Depending on how the god died, it may well leave behind a DyingCurse, such as in the Murim World or the 50th floor.
