Background and History

Hong was the Hall Master of the Limit Martial Arts School and the acknowledged strongest person on Earth. His arrival in Jiangnan Base City inspired awe among its warriors; the force of his Light Domain distorted their perception of the world into utter darkness centered on him. He personally recruited the rapidly advancing Xiao Yu, offering extensive resources and appointing him as a Deputy Inspector seconded to Jiangnan Base City. 23

He later exchanged Xiao Yu's Third Order High-Grade Shadowless Spear for cultivation resources and a Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet. The exchange demonstrated both Hong's need for weapons Earth could not manufacture and his willingness to compensate Xiao Yu fairly. 30

Hong participated in the Mist Island operation, where he recognized the island's possible connection to ancient civilization relics. After Xiao Yu delivered the Beast Emperor's corpse, Hong organized research teams and special War God squads to investigate it. He also established a distribution rule granting both a treasure's discoverer and its successful claimant a 30% share. 40 44 45

When Xiao Yu first departed Earth to scout the universe, Hong remained behind and promised to safeguard Xiao Yu's family. After Xiao Yu established a secure foothold beyond Earth, Hong traveled with him to obtain an Imperial Citizen Identity and access the Virtual Universe. 51 63

Hong became one of Xiao Yu, Thor, and Luo Feng's sworn brothers within the Yunmo Star lineage. He continued to refine his Light Law comprehension, entered the Outer Domain Battlefield for life-and-death tempering, and eventually rose from Undying to Universe Venerable. 63 101 281 309 447
