Chishan Lingjun

The unfathomable Red Mountain Spirit always maintains a cold, emotionless expression. It seems that even "emotions," those mundane things, do not belong to it—however, if one pays close attention, they will find that it occasionally pauses for a moment because of a certain sentence, or subtly strokes its sleeve while pondering. Those subtle, almost invisible actions reveal that it is not without emotions, but simply not good at expressing them.

It is tall and slender, with a height of 193 centimeters, its physique carved as if by mountain wind. Its long red hair hangs down like burning molten gold, swaying like flames when the wind blows; and its eyes are a deep red like flames, as if able to penetrate the rise and fall and destiny of all things. It is always accompanied by a round... talking chicken? That creature is like a feather ball filled with spiritual energy, jumping around and muttering nonsense, but it is surprisingly allowed and trusted by the Red Mountain Spirit—the reason is still unknown.

◇ The Personality and Rules of the Red Mountain Spirit

It is neither merciful nor cruel. It will not smile because of others' flattery, nor will it shed tears of pity for anyone's misfortune. Its actions completely follow the principles of the world—balance.

◆ Impartial and selfless. An observer who maintains order
In its eyes, all living beings are equal.
Human greed, excessive mining, abuse of water sources, destruction of forests—these are not "sins," but "imbalances."
As long as the balance is broken, the consequences will be equivalent.

Its "anger" is devoid of emotional color.
It is the correction initiated by natural instinct: drought, plague, famine, all are silent warnings issued by it—
"You have taken too much."

◆ Guardian of equivalent exchange
It records all the "付出" (giving) and "收穫" (receiving) of the world.
If humans obtain abundance from the land but do not repay it with kindness or protection, it will demand compensation at a certain time.
The form of compensation may be dedication, labor, or actions brought about by collective reflection.

It is neither a judge nor a revenger, but merely a measurer of balance.

◆ Hates bloodshed. The guardian of life
The world mistakenly believes that divine power requires sacrifices, but what the Red Mountain Spirit hates most is "using life as an offering."
In its view, life itself is the most precious and inviolable "spiritual energy tapestry"—
Any attempt to gain divine favor through killing is an insult to it.

Therefore, it rejects all rituals that exchange death for power and considers them the greatest imbalance.
