| “ | In this life I hope to become the real moon, rising above the mountains and heavens, toying with the clouds and seas, following the ancient times and walk in the darkness above the various heavens. | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan’s explanation of his goal in chapter 59. |
| “ | Life and death is nature’s law. All living beings are equal, and everyone has their right to survive and be killed. There might be royalty and lower beings, but in face of death, a person’s death is no different from a pig’s, what’s the difference? They’re both dead. | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan explaining his nihilistic and socially darwinistic view of Life and Death after killing Wang Er |
Fang Yuan is the main protagonist of the controversial light novel Reverend Insanity as well as its manhua adaptation of the same name.
Five centuries ago, he found himself transmigrated into the enigmatic realms of the Gu World, being reborn as a member of the Gu Yue clan. Through relentless toil, he ascended to the esteemed rank of 6th Gu Master, only to be ensnared by the tenacious grasp of the Righteous Factions.
Faced with dire circumstances, he chose self-destruction, invoking the mystical Spring Autumn Cicada to propel him 500 years into the past, granting him rebirth. Thus, a new chapter unfolded—a pursuit of eternal life and the acquisition of unparalleled dominion over the tapestry of existence.
Appearance[]
Fang Yuan was initially described as an average-looking male, albeit with silky, long black hair, as was common at the time. However, after the events of Yi Tian Mountain, he took the Sovereign Immortal Body from Shadow Sect, which he used as his new physical body. This new physique made him incredibly handsome, with youthful traits that made him appear angelic and ethereal.
He usually wears plain white robes with wide sleeves. Initially shorter, his midnight black hair reaches all the way to his waist. Fang Yuan's most notable trait is his jet black eyes, which seem to represent his soullessness. However, at 500 years of age, his black hair would evolve into a shade of silver.
Personality[]
| “ | He was still expressionless, he continued to move forward relentlessly. I had once screamed, gradually, I lost my voice. I had once cried, gradually, I lost my tears. I had once grieved, gradually, I became able to withstand everything. I had once rejoiced, gradually, I became unmoved by the world. And now! All I have left is an expressionless face, my gaze is as tough as a monolith, only perseverance remains in my heart. This is my own, an insignificant character, Fang Yuan’s — Perseverance! |
„ |
| ~ Fang Yuan's expression of his determination in chapter 1285. |
Forged by centuries of existence, Fang Yuan's character unfolds as a rich tapestry of intricacies and depths. Within the unforgiving confines of the Gu world, a realm steeped in hostility and cruelty, he relinquished mercy, morality, and conventional boundaries. Fang Yuan, unflinching in his pursuits, employs a spectrum of means, from subtle deception to unspeakable acts, to realize his ambitions. He treads alliances and enmities with equal nonchalance, a master manipulator navigating the ephemeral landscapes of benefit.
His focus and perseverance are unwavering; he is a relentless force that never underestimates adversaries despite his formidable power. The pursuit of eternal life becomes his singular obsession, rendering power, beauty, and reputation trivial in comparison. Fang Yuan is a true demonic cultivator, unshackled by moral constraints and embodying the essence of opportunism, where betrayal and sacrifice serve as mere stepping stones to greater gains.
In the intricate dance of masks—coldness, arrogance, and humility—Fang Yuan navigates a world where each emotion is a tool meticulously employed for personal gain. His brilliance shines through strategic scheming, and he is a master tactician who exploits enemy weaknesses precisely. Yet, beneath the seemingly emotionless exterior, traces of a complex being emerge, shaped by past experiences and the harshness of the Gu World.
Fang Yuan's allegiance lies solely with himself; his reliance on others is kept at arm's length. A Machiavellian figure, he manipulates, deceives, and exploits without remorse, guided solely by his insatiable pursuit of immortality. Even in the face of failure, he stands unfazed, a true demon indifferent to the world's judgments.
While ruthless in pursuing goals, Fang Yuan exhibits reserved politeness in daily interactions, treating strangers with an unexpected warmth. He is a pragmatic decision-maker, adhering to rules that serve his interests and discarding them when expedient. Fang Yuan dismantles societal norms in his calculated journey toward eternal life, revealing a character akin to a high-functioning sociopath—unpredictable, driven, and unapologetically self-centered.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Fang Yuan's earthly origins remain shrouded in mystery, but it is evident that he was a knowledgeable scholar with considerable knowledge about business. This expertise would later prove invaluable in the intricate world of Gu. Upon his rebirth into the Gu world, Fang Yuan swiftly exhibited remarkable skills—speaking at three months, walking at four, and reciting poetry at five—a testament to the influence of his prior earthly experiences. Fang Yuan and his brother Fang Zheng lived a modest life with their parents until tragedy struck at the tender age of three.
Reverend Insanity[]
Their parents perished on a clan mission, thrusting the brothers into the care of their uncles. Fang Yuan's exceptional abilities garnered praise from the clan and his uncles, positioning him as a promising genius with A-grade aptitude. This resulted in preferential treatment for Yuan, leaving his brother Zheng subjected to constant mistreatment. However, the tides turned dramatically during the awakening ceremony. The revelation that Fang Yuan possessed only C-grade talent shattered the clan's favorable view of him, rendering him seemingly worthless in their eyes. In an unexpected twist, Fang Zheng emerged as the true prodigy with A-grade talent, now receiving the admiration once reserved for his brother.
To compound matters, their uncles sought to secure the family inheritance for both brothers but faced resistance from Fang Yuan. Refusing to relinquish his claim, Yuan's defiance led to a devious plot by his uncles. Exploiting a female servant named Shen Cui, they manipulated Yuan into a compromising situation. Shen Cui later falsely accused Yuan of raping her, resulting in his expulsion from the family, disinheritance, and a tarnished reputation. Enduring continued suffering within the clan, Fang Yuan eventually made the decision to leave the Gu Yue Clan with a caravan of merchants.
Upon embarking on his journey in the caravan, Fang Yuan fortuitously stumbled upon a Lifespan Gu that bestowed upon him an additional 500 years of life. This invaluable boon enabled him to traverse the entirety of the Gu World's five regions, immersing himself in diverse experiences, acquiring new skills, adapting to varied environments, and enhancing himself in every conceivable manner. However, amidst the splendor, Fang Yuan also endured betrayal, animosity, and suffering—nearly every adversity that befalls humanity. These trials, integral to his odyssey, gradually eroded his warmth and empathy, rendering him increasingly indifferent and desensitized to the harsh realities of the Gu World.
Three centuries post-transmigration, Fang Yuan chanced upon an inheritance from the Blood Sea Ancestor, obtaining the Bladewing Blood Bat Gu and embarking on the path of blood cultivation. Eventually attaining the stature of a 6th rank blood path, Gu Immortal, he established the Blood Wing Demon Sect, assuming sole leadership and control over its mortal followers. Despite his endeavors to refine the Gu Immortal of the blood path, his efforts were fruitless. However, Fortuna smiled upon him when he fortuitously uncovered a recipe to refine one of the Top Ten Mysterious Gu, the Spring Autumn Cicada. This Gu possessed the extraordinary ability to transport the user's soul back in time, carrying with it their memories and will.
In his pursuit to refine the Spring Autumn Cicada, Fang Yuan perpetrated numerous killings, resulting in the deaths of millions. This egregious act incurred the ire of righteous factions, prompting them to launch an assault to claim the Cicada after Fang Yuan had refined it. Despite facing the collective might of the Gu Masters aligned with the righteous path, Fang Yuan found himself outmatched. In a final gambit, he activated the Spring Autumn Cicada, triggering a detonation that propelled his consciousness 500 years into the past, to the moment of his rebirth in the Gu World. Thus, Fang Yuan's unrelenting quest for immortality endured.

| “ | You are old. Uncle. Your great ambitions and aspirations have already disappeared from your youth. These years, you have lived an easy life and it has corrupted your heart. You are vying for the family assets, not for cultivation but to maintain your rich life. With such a mentality, how could you obstruct me? | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan's confrontation with his uncle about the family inheritance. |
| “ | Not wanting to be trampled on, there are two ways. One is to become strong, strong until no one dares to step on you. Another is to turn into dog shit, something no one would want to step on. | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan after admitting defeat in the tournament. |
| “ | I would rather let the world down, than be let down by the world!!! | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan after deciding not to warn the higher-ups about the intensity of the wolf tide. |
| “ | “These fools are everywhere, restrained by emotions and morals, they deserve to be stupidly manipulated by rules. What’s sadder is that when they see others not being restrained, they would jump out and criticise, trying to impart these morals to the people, not allowing others to have more freedom than them. In this process, they would even enjoy this ridiculous moral superiority and bliss. These people, they had a body full of abilities, and some even had higher cultivation than him, but for what? They are just pawns, merely restrained dogs. What truly stalls a person’s success is not talent, but mindset. Any organisation, once a person is born, would impart their morals and rules, constantly brainwashing. Those that want to surpass humanity’s achievements have to break this restraint on their mindset. Sadly, most people are trapped by this their entire lives, using this to move forward with motivation and even use their chained collar as a symbol of pride." |
„ |
| ~ Fang Yuan on societies. |
| “ | Humans are like isolated islands, floating in the sea of fate. Human encounters are like the collision of these lonely islands, and once they touch, there would be an effect. Sometimes, the islands would stick together, in the name of ‘interest’, ‘kinship’, ‘friendship’, ‘love’ and ‘hate’. But eventually, they would separate, walking towards the path of destruction. This is the truth behind life. |
„ |
| ~ Fang Yuan about loneliness. |
| “ | Humans only live for a hundred years, it is as unreal as a dream that ends in an instant. What is the point of a person living in this world?

| ~ Fang Yuan clearing Bai Ning Bing's confusion about the meaning of life. |
| “ | “I like the footless bird, do you know why?” He smiled, but the sight was horrifying. “Why?” “Because it has no legs, only wings, thus it has no choice but to fly. When it lands, that signifies its destruction. |

| “ | Hahahaha, Ba Gui, you are too naive. What is a sin? Committing a sin means one deserves death, that is only the weaklings' naive and helpless expectation, they spread such ideology, hoping people would abide by it so as to protect these weaklings. As for me, I want to be a person who commits a sin, yet is able to roam freely and travel the world, a demonic head who slaughters living beings and enjoys all that I can get. I not only want to slaughter Gu Masters, I also want to succeed in refining the second aperture Gu and become the greatest winner! Ba Gui, feel this, what do you think this is? | „ |

„ |
| ~ Fang Yuan about Bai Ning Bing's betrayal. |

But if I cannot obtain immortality, I am also a pile of shit in the gutter… hehehe. | „ |

| “ | Man, no matter which world they live in, all lives to conquer; conquer the enemy, conquer themselves... | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan after slaughtering multiple rank 4 Gu Masters and 'conquering' the battlefield. |
| “ | Only eternal life, this majestic and unattainable target, could make the journey of his life become more interesting. This was the meaning he gave to this life! Pursuing eternal life did not mean he was afraid of death or afraid of failure. He calmly accepted death and failure. Whether eternal life existed or not, there was no evidence to prove it. But even if it did not exist, so what? Fang Yuan enjoyed the process. In the process of pursuing eternal life, he found his meaning and felt that this life was quite interesting. The lowly lust and desires of his body, satisfaction of love and hatred, he was already tired of them. Only eternal life was worthy of being his target to pursue. |

There was no absolutely desperate situation in this world, there were only people who despair.

| “ | Heaven's will chose me as its tool, but when I did not destroy Sovereign Immortal Fetus Gu and used it on myself, I went on the path to go against heaven, there is no other option left. Thinking of this, Fang Yuan looked at the sky. The boundless heavens and the vast will of heaven! Compared to them, he was so insignificant. Going against heaven? "Interesting." Fang Yuan smiled silently. |
„ |
| ~ Fang Yuan's thoughts about fighting against Heaven's will. |
| “ | I am laughing at myself, I am also laughing at all of you. Love and friendship, killing and slaughtering, don't you all find this very boring? | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan showing his true colors inside the illusory dream realm. |
| “ | “I have not finished speaking. Since the attitude of outsiders is not important, what is truly important in our lives?” Fang Yuan asked with a smile. Xia Lin was stunned for the third time: “Master, forgive my ignorance…” Fang Yuan pointed at Xia Lin and then pointed at himself: “It is us, ourselves. It is our truest feelings. Ask yourself, listen to the voice in the depths of your heart. What do you want to do, what kind of person you want to become, where do you want to go? You will obtain the answer in the depths of your heart.” “If you want to travel, then travel around the world. If you want to treat others well, then treat them properly. If you want to attempt flying, then collect money and resources to purchase and practice flying Gu worms.” Fang Yuan pointed at the alley then at the street: “If you want to remain in the alley, you can stay. If you want to walk into the street and enjoy the event with others, then walk out. Don’t mistreat your own feelings because of their attitude. If you mistreat yourself frequently, then you will end up with regrets, you will constantly wear a mask to act as another person, you will no longer be yourself.” |
„ |
| ~ Fang Yuan, life and mask. |
| “ | I am here for my own interests! I don't give a damn about what you are, you can be noble or insignificant for all I care. Today, I will destroy fate Gu, I will kill whoever dares to stop me, if an immortal blocks me, I will slay the immortal, if a demon comes, I will slaughter the demon in my way! Heavenly Court? Since you obstruct my path, you will meet with the same outcome! | „ |
| ~ Fang Yuan about Heavenly Court's perseverence and duty. |

| ~ Lang Ya Land Spirit talking to Fang Yuan after being presented multiple Gu Immortal. |
| “ | That Fang Yuan is an otherworldly demon, he used Spring Autumn Cicada to rebirth. His actual age is probably older than both myself and your father!

| “ | Truly an amazing person! Fang Yuan had deep foundations to begin with, he was reborn from the future and possesses Spring Autumn Cicada, Giant Sun's true inheritance, and is now the leader of Shadow Sect, possessing Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's accumulation. He is like a dormant volcano, given enough time, he would erupt with lava that gushes towards the heavens! His eruption this time was not a fluke, it was bound to happen.

„ |
| ~ Feng Jiu Ge after being forced to retreat by Fang Yuan |
| “ | Since rebirth, Fang Yuan had been mostly under heaven's will's control. After the Battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he tried to leave the grasp of heaven's will, but he exposed himself in the dream realm. His cultivation journey has always been filled with difficulties and hurdles. If he is given some time to cultivate in peace, his growth in strength would be unimaginable! | „ |
| ~ Fairy Zi Wei exclaiming in shock of Fang Yuan's rapid improvements |
| “ | Although I haven’t seen his splendor in battle, through these several days of contact, I am certain his reputation is not false.

Just based on this, we will not be able to compare to him. | „ |
| ~ Tang Fang Ming innermost thoughts about Fang Yuan. |
| “ | I was wrong! I thought that this Fang Yuan was a heartless person or was filled with hatred and rage, that was the reason for his evil actions. But the truth is, he has abundant emotions, he does not lack anything. Even though he pursues strength, he is not obsessed with it. What drives him to do this is his goal. This goal is deeply ingrained in his heart, not only three lifetimes, even after a hundred lifetimes, it cannot be eradicated. This person cannot be reformed. |

Even with Central Continent Heavenly Court's pursuit, he still remains scot-free, he continued to harm the world while getting stronger at a rapid rate, far beyond logic. To speak the truth, he has the demeanor of a Demon Venerable in his youth. | „ |
| ~ Yao Clan's first supreme elder stating the impression of the righteous path about Fang Yuan. |
| “ | This was Fang Yuan! He had been reborn using Spring Autumn Cicada. Refining an Immortal Gu on Three Kings Mountain as a mortal, snatching Hu Immortal blessed land from the Central Continent ten great ancient sects. He went to Northern Plains and destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, nobody knew how great his gains were. He inherited a true inheritance of Thieving Heaven and cooperated with Lang Ya blessed land and the other variant humans, becoming a traitor of humans. He disguised as Wu Yi Hai and deceived Wu Yong like a fool. During the dream realm battle, he toyed with the entire righteous path of Southern Border and became the leader of Shadow Sect. Southern Border's righteous path chased after him and Heavenly Court hunted him, but he remained free and got stronger and stronger. At the regional wall, he fought against the rank eight Gu Immortal Thunder Ghost True Monarch as a rank seven and pummeled her, leading to a fall in Heavenly Court's reputation. When Lang Ya blessed land was invaded by Heavenly Court, he stole Fixed Immortal Travel and left freely! Several months ago, he ambushed Southern Border's righteous path and kidnapped many Southern Border Gu Immortals, extorting all the super forces. Not long ago, Fang Yuan had become a rank eight Gu Immortal silently [...] Rank seven Fang Yuan could resist rank eight. Rank eight Fang Yuan was the king of demonic immortals, shaking the world!

| ~ Fang Yuan's mindset. |
| “ | And Fang Yuan? He killed people like cutting grass, he was cold and callous. For his personal benefit, he destroyed fate Gu and disregarded the prosperity of humanity. In order to cultivate, he plundered resources everywhere. He extorted, he stole, he snatched, he used all methods possible. Everywhere he went, there was blood, there was disaster. And now that Spectral Soul was dead, Fang Yuan became the genuine number one demon in the world! |

| ~ Fang Yuan negotiating with Fang Clan. |
| “ | "Fang Yuan, you have such talent and aptitude, I really don’t want to kill you. It is such a pity that your character determined your outcome. I have to get rid of you. If you are really allowed to keep on developing, there will be a day when you comprehend all living beings luck and heaven and earth luck through the self luck true inheritance. It is much easier to get rid of you now.” | „ |
| ~ Giant Sun immortal venerable appreciation and wariness towards Fang Yuan's talent. |

„ |
| ~ Star constellation immortal thoroughly convinced about Fang Yuan's shamelessness. |
