!! Tian Wu
Considered the strongest warrior of the gods, Tian Wu is a BloodKnight who seeks our strong opponents and constantly seeks greater power. His powers involve creating earthquakes and shockwaves, granting him the greatest destructive power of the Sage Kings. He ends up battling Nitian Erxing during the invasion of the Gods' Domain.

* AntiVillain: Loyalty to the Gods aside, Tian Wu has no actual villainous traits. He respects the resolve of the protagonists and [[spoiler: is disgusted with the savage new Ancient Gods under Shen Yen's command. He eventually undergoes a HeelFaceTurn.]]
* Badass: Comes with being the strongest warrior of the Gods. In addition to overwhelming TieXue Wushuang with relative ease, he also overpowered Nitian Erxing for most of their battle, forcing him to reach ultimately fatal limits to beat him.
** [[spoiler: In the second invasion, he defeated and killed 2 of the strongest Dark One Generals, Zhonghe Tianxia and Hanfeng Linlin.]]
* BarehandedBladeBlock: Holds pride in the fact that his fists can block any blade, which comes in handy since 3 of his opponents were blade users.
* BloodKnight: A relatively understated version. Tian Wu enjoys nothing more than a good fight and seeks to better himself, in contrast to the lazy Xuan Feng.
* BubbleOdDestruction: After the timeskip, his divine skill evolves into a massive explosion bubble as large as an entire army. Anything within the bubble is immediately paralysed and those close enough to Tian Wu destroyed.
* Determinator: Even after Nitian impales him, he still attempts to continue fighting. [[spoiler: He battles Lan Yue to protect Xuan Feng in spite of serious injuries, ultimately being willing to use up all his life force to defeat him.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: In Season 3, after Shen Yen betrays the current generation of Gods, Tian Wu chooses to defect in order to protect Xuan Feng.]]
* HeroKiller: If you are a Dark One, it probably isn't too good an idea to fight him.
** While Nitian ultimately defeated him, the battle pushed his illness to fatal levels, dooming him soon after.
* HeterosexualLifePartners/ThoseTwoBadGuys: With Xuan Feng, whom he is usually seen with and has a d, and they are later shown to be very close friends.
** In the second battle with the Dark Ones, he [[spoiler: kills ''both'' Zhonghe Tianxia and Henfeng Linlin, both major characters of the 3rd season.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How he is defeated by Nitian in the God's realm.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: His power involves creating earthquakes and tsunamis, enabling him to destroy an entire harbour in single attack.
* PowerFist: He can imbue his fists with explosions to increase their power. His second Divine Skill is actually a Power Palm Thrust which he uses to [[spoiler: kill Hanfeng Linlin.]]
* MightyGlacier: He's not slow, but he is notably slower than Nitian Erxing, instead using his superior power to compensate.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Xuan Feng's Sensitive Guy.
* ShockwaveClap: His Divine Skill, Great Thunderclap, involves him smashing his fists together to cause a series of massive explosions.
* ShockwaveStomp: Worlds' Fury enables him to create massive shockwave ripples powerful enough to obliterate an entire harbour.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: ...And predictably he is the straight man to Xuan Feng's LazyBastard wise guy.
* SuperStrength: [[spoiler: Punches a hole clean through Zhonghe's chest.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Has a quiet one after [[spoiler: Shen Yen, whom he had UndyingLoyalty to, betrays the Gods. He lets a regular Zhou soldier stab him and it takes Lan Yue attacking the unconscious Xuan Feng to snap him out of his funk.]]
* VillainousFriendship: Has one with Xuan Feng, close enough that [[spoiler: he is willing give his life to protect him.[[

!!General Sage King tropes
Former Great Gods who chose to retire for a variety of reasons, the Sage Kings are the most powerful Gods, having mastered their Divine Skills to the fullest. They serve Shen Yen, the leader of the Gods' High Council.

* AntiVillain: The Sage Kings tend to be less bigoted and evil than other Gods, respecting other races, the big exception being Bai Lian [[spoiler: and Lan Yue]] of course.
* BadassCrew: Shen Yen's personal Elite Guard, in both the invasion of the Gods' realm and the invasion of the Dark Ones City, the Sage Kings are the main physical threat the protagonists have to face.
* BlingOfWar: The Sage Kings all wear badass fancy armor, usually with white and gold motifs, complete with capes and custom designs.
* EliteMook
* HeroKiller: Any battle with a Sage King usually ends with a Pyrrhic victory, if at all.
* PhysicalGod: [[BeyondTheImpossible Even among the Gods themselves.]] Each Sage King is as powerful as many Great Gods combined.
* SuperpowerLottery: Many of the Sage Kings possess some of the most haxxed and powerful Divine Powers in the story.

* BreakTheHaughty: Pretty much sums up his entire, um, character arc.
* ButtMonkey: Pretty much the only Sage King who fails to win any fight in the series. He interacts with Ah Gou most of the time, who spends most of the time
humiliating him. He has pretty much the most pathetic send-off of the Sage Kings, [[spoiler: dying to an annoyed punch by Ah Gou.]]

* VillainousBreakdown: 2 spectacular ones. When Ah Gou defeats him the first time, he is sent into a deep depression and drinks away his sorrows, having lost respect by losing to a human. After Shen Yen convinces him to redouble his resolve, he battles Ah Gou again, only to be [[CurbStompBattle crushed even harder than before]]. He begins to envision Ah Gou as a giant and is too scared to even make a single move against him, until he completely loses it and breaks down into TearsOfFear.

!!Tian Kui, Great God of the Fighting Association
The strongest of the Great Gods and Tian's enforcer. Tian Kui was responsible for crushing the rebellion on Zi Shou's father and later battles the man himself over the Shang Kingdom. He was also Shi Xing's mentor, but was ultimately forced to punish him for his crimes against the Gods. When Xin Yue Kui's negotiations with the Fallen Ones fail, he launches an attack against them.

* AntiVillain: In truth, he, just like Shi Xing, possesses a sensitive and loving heart, and hoped for a future where Gods and Man were equal. Unlike Shi Xing, his [[UndyingLoyalty loyalty to Tian]] prevented him from ever acting on his convictions.
* *Badass*: He is not called the strongest warrior of the Gods for nothing.

* TheDragon: To Xin Yue Kui. He is so powerful that he is considered the only bodyguard she needs [[spoiler: which turns out to be a fatal mistake.]]
* DumbMuscle: Appears to be this at first, until his hidden depths are revealed.
* ExtraEyes: Has three eyes in reference to the actual chinese God Er Lang Shen.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: He hates doing evil for the Gods and wants a future where God and Man can live side by side, and is far more sensitive and caring than the other Gods. However, he is highly loyal and lacks the resolve to act upon this conviction.
* MercyKill: Delivers one to Shi Xing's wife Ming Yue to prevent her from going through the eternal suffering of the Mark of Death. Unfortunately, Shi Xing only saw the aftermath of the exection and hence held a fierce grudge against his old mentor.

* FragileSpeedster/ GlassCannon: He is both very fast and possesses potent poison powers but he lacks any real defensive powers.

* SinisterScythe: Uses one in his battle with Fu Yi.
* SummonMagic: Gui Mu's powers allow him to summon a swarm of poisonous locusts as well as more powerful snakes.

!!Zhui Ri, Great God of the Lightning Association

The youngest Great God in history and a warrior of great talent, Zhui Ri participated in the invasion of the Shang Kingdom and battled Emperor Zhou. After the battle, he stayed briefly in the human world where he fell in love with Bai Cai, Ah Gou's - out protagonist- wife. This foments a rivalry between them.

* AntiVillain: He has no actual villainous traits and is only nominally opposed to the protagonists. Unsurprisingly, he eventually has a HeelFaceTurn.
* *Badass*: The first opponent Ah Gou is utterly powerless against, despite having gained greater mastery and control of his divine powers.
** Even during Season 2 where Ah Gou has grown strong enough to defeat a Sage King, he still considers Zhui Ri a serious threat.
* CannotCatchUp: [[spoiler: In spite of having an impressive growth rate, Ah Gou simply grows faster, and by Season 3 has left Zhui Ri in the dust.]]
* CoolSword/BFS: Wields a large shark-toothed saber over a meter long
* CurbstompBattle: Delivers one to YunZhongZi and later one to Ah Gou.
* EvilCounterpart: To Ah Gou. Both are highyl talented young men with great potential and growth, are innately righteous people despite a tough exterior, and are in love with the same girl.
* HeelFaceTurn: By Season 3, he is fully on the side of the angels.
* LoveRedeems: Although Zhui Ri was never satisfied with the way the Gods oppressed humanity, it is his love for Bai Cai that compels him to fully go against their system.
* OhGodWhatHaveIDone: He reacts as such when he realises he accidentally blasted Bai Cai with lightning.
* TheRival: Obviously considers himself this to Ah Gou, who on the other hand couldn't care less.
* ShockAndAwe: His primary means of offense is to summon down lightning bolts.
* TheStoic: Has basically one expression. Even his VillainousBreakdown is appropriately understated.

* SuperStrength: He can swing his sword with such force the ''shockwave'' of his swing can destroy building sized trees.
* WorthyOpponent: Downplayed. [[spoiler: While Chi Long praises and acknowledges him as the strongest of his opponents, he also says he is but a fly to him.]]

* ComboPlatterPowers: Due to his training in a whole variety of areas, Wu Geng as of Season 3, can use Divine Power (technique of the Gods), Smelting Aura (technique of Man) and Soul Gear (technique of the Dark Ones) in a wide variety of applications. He has only mastered his Divine Power though.



* GeneratioXerox: Eventually becomes a near-spitting image of his father (minus the long hair). A unique case as the body he is in is that of a slave, not even his father's son. He came to look like his father as he grew more and more like him in spirit.
* GoodIsNotNice: Although a good person at heart, Ah Gou is not a nice person, being sadistic, ruthless and is highly selfish and opportunistic. He was willing to abandon an entire city to its fate as it was none of his business. It was in fact these qualities that encouraged Nitian Erxing choose him as his successor.

In the invasion of the Wu Kingdom, he was defeated by Tian and captured by Shi Xing, who had fought him and considered him a worthy opponent and hoped he could recover so he could fight him again. After Shi Xing captures Ah Gou as well, he escapes and defeats him and decides to train Ah Gou in the art of Smelting Aura.



* Badass: Hoo boy. Between fighting on par with the strongest Sage King, giving ''Tian'', the strongest God a serious fight, and even [[CurbStompBattle curbstomping]] Ah Gou, he definitely qualifies.



* DefeatEqualsFriendship: Although technically defeated by Zhen Chan, the battle between the 2 urges Zhen Chan to make a HeelFaceTurn where he becomes a major ally for the rest of the series.

* WhenHeSmiles: Most of the time played straight. However, the most notable instance of this is when he expressed excitement at kicking Er Chan's ass.



* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Yet despite all of the above, he was still undoubtably a jerkass for the first season.
* TheMentor: To his son and the Prince.

A god cursed with insanity inducing immortality

to:

A god cursed with insanity inducing immortalityimmortality. [[spoiler: He is actually the true son of Tian. After he committed the crime of marrying a human, he is not executed due to his status, but instead cursed with the Mark of Death which prevented him from dying and turned him into a ferocious beast during the full moon.]]

* [[BladeOnAStick: During his fight with Huang Long, he manages to create his father's Blood Spear which he uses to finally defeat the powerful Ancient God.]]
* BloodKnight: In his insane state, he loves nothing more than a good fight and a worthy opponent, even letting his enemies hit him so as to make the fight more enjoyable.
* TheBerserker: His general fighting style while insane.
* Bishonen: Prior to the Mark of Death.
* DeathSeeker: He wants death more than anything else, resulting in him looking for strong opponents to fight.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Prior to the series, he decides not to become a Great God and instead live with the humans. This doesn't end well for him, to say the least.
* FaceHeelTurn: After he is cursed by the Mark of Death, he turns from NiceGuy to the bloodthirsty monster he spends Season 1 as, and is initially a major antagonist for Ah Gou and the Lost Gods.
* FateWorseThanDeath: What the Mark of Death basically amounts to for him, especially since he lost his reason to live when Ming Yue died.
* FromASingleCell: The Immortal Pheonix allows him this.
* HeelFaceTurn: In Season 2, where he is sane for the most of it, he helps the protagonists during the invasion of the Gods' Realm.
* KillItWithFire: He gains incredible fire powers after his contract with the Immortal Phoenix.


Added DiffLines:

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Prior to Mark of Death.
* PowerGivesYouWings: After his upgrade through the Immortal Phoenix, he can grow fiery wings to fly.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His actions in Season 2 basically amount to this. While the other forces fought the Gods for freedom or justice, Shi Xing participated only to get vengeance on Pan Gu.
* StoryBreakerPower: The Mark of Death makes him practically immortal and unkillable. Were it not for it and the Immortal Phoenix he would have died several times over in each of his fights.
* StrongButUnskilled: Shi Xing has enormous raw power but he lacks combat skill, which means he takes alot of hits, relying almost entirely on his functional immortality to win battles.


Added DiffLines:

* StarCrossedLovers: His forbidden love with Ming Yue, a human, ends in tragedy and her death.
* NighInvulnerable: Due to the Mark of Death, he just cannot die. Even decapitation doesn't stop him for long. It takes being incinerated and having his divine aura destroyed to kill him, and even that isn't permanent. After he gains the powers of the Immortal Phoenix he gains instantaneous regeneration and can even regenerate from a single cell in minutes.


Added DiffLines:

A sadistic and cruel God. At the beginning of the series, he is defeated by Zi Shou in the invasion of Shang. After Prince Zhou heals him he takes the young man as his godson and helps him gain power and favour.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilOldFolks: An utter bastard.

* JerkassGodsJerkassGods: Anything short of complete boot-licking is punished with death. Some gods just kill their human worshipers for jollies.



* SmugSuper: Even when beaten to within an inch of their life, they will demand penance from their attackers, playing successfully defying a god's wrath as a forgivable sin. They refuse to believe the 'monkeys' Tian had guided are resourceful enough to properly rebel.

* TopGod: He is the strongest god ''ever'', even when the OldGods were still alive. The current generation of gods defer to him because he raised them and because it is entirely stupid to tell him 'no'.
