Shuhu (Chinese: 倏忽) was an Emanator of The Abundance and a leader of the Denizens of Abundance. They have come into conflict with the Xianzhou Alliance on several occasions, but also serve as an exalted figure for the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus due to their close affiliation with Yaoshi.
Appearance[]
In the memories of Xueyi and Hanya, Shuhu took the form of a strange tree with a thousand faces whose branches penetrated deep into the earth. It fought with Teng Xiao, the Arbiter-General of the Luofu prior to Jing Yuan.[1][2]
Story[]
Some time after the destruction of Muldrasil in Year 5320 Star Calendar,[3] Shuhu brought the dead planet of Rahu back to life, an act which was witnessed by, and awed, the former Xianzhou Yaoqing Helm-Master Yueyan.[Note 1] Yueyan became a follower of Shuhu's and established the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus as its first master.[4] In the Disciples' lore, Yaoshi traveled on Rahu with Shuhu and gave Shuhu their instructions, which became the basis of the text Thousand-Handed Merciful Medicus' Salvation. The Disciples use this text as part of their initiation rite for prospective members, who must record the text 500 times.[5] The Thousand-Handed Merciful Medicus' Salvation is a forgery according to the official announcement from the Ten-Lords Commission.[6]
On Year 5749 Star Calendar, Shuhu led the Denizens of Abundance in an invasion of the Xianzhou Yuque, but was defeated by the Xianzhou Alliance with the help of the Intelligentsia Guild.[7]
In Year 6300 Star Calendar, Rahu — the planet Shuhu had revived — devoured and destroyed the Xianzhou Cangcheng.[8]
About 700 years ago, the High-Cloud Quintet formed to save the Yuque from a Denizens of Abundance invasion.[9] At some point in this era, Shuhu was presumably involved in an event known as The Shuhu Upheaval witnessed by Jing Yuan.[10] According to Jingliu[11] and presumably Phantylia[12], Shuhu rallied a great army to attack the Luofu and set up the Sanguinary Abyss to block the Xianzhou soldiers. Dan Feng fell into Dragon's Delirium when fighting Shuhu. Then, Baiheng charged ahead and shattered the enemy's defenses, allowing the Xianzhou soldiers to break through Shuhu's Sanguinary Abyss and awaken Dan Feng from his Dragon's Delirium.[11] Shuhu was eventually defeated by Baiheng's self-destruct attack, but it is unclear if Shuhu was actually killed.[13] Jingliu also says that Yingxing used the flesh of an Abundance Emanator to aid Dan Feng in resurrecting Baiheng, leading to Yingxing's transformation into an abomination now known as Blade.[11]
After attacking the Xianzhou Alliance, Shuhu disappeared and there are no records of his remains according to Jingliu.[11] According to the Ten-Lords Commission Criminal Directory, Shuhu's remains are said to be kept in a box held in the deepest depths of the prison. However, the box is not to be opened unless directly ordered by the marshal and the Ten Lords together.[14]
