In the latest installment of Hell's Paradise episode 7, fans are introduced to the seven immortal deities ruling over the land of Shinsenkyo, known as Lord Tensen. Gabimaru, Sagiri, and Yuzuriha are made aware of the group, which consists of its leader Rien and the other members, Ju Fa, Tao Fa, Zhu Jin, Mu Dan, Ran, and Gui Fa.
