Background / History

Kong is the youngest disciple of the Longevity Great Emperor, described as the strongest expert of ancient times. Though an ape rather than a human, he possesses extraordinary martial talent and cultivation, and was deeply favored by his master 148.

During the Primordial Era, Kong became renowned as the number one divine thief. His thefts extended to the gods of that era, making his own later victimization especially humiliating 169.

He used a secret method to condense his Martial Dao experience into the Longevity Dao Fruit, then entered a prolonged sleep while it matured. The fruit was meant to grant him Thousand Transformations-level power as soon as he consumed it 169. Hong Xuanji stole half of the fruit before Kong could claim it, waking Kong in time to prevent the entire Dao Fruit from being taken 169.

Appearance

Kong is a golden-haired ape whose combat presence is marked by immense, heat-like qi and blood.

• Golden fur and a monkey-like face 169
• His fur stands on end when enraged 169
• At Thousand Transformations, his qi and blood surge like rivers and seas, scorching the ground and driving water vapor into the air 202

Personality

Kong is fiercely proud, direct, and possessive of what he considers rightfully his. The theft of his Dao Fruit enrages him not only because of its value, but because a thief of his standing was himself robbed 169.

He is willing to fight at great personal cost to recover the Longevity Dao Fruit, refusing Hong Xuanji's proposal to divide it and settle matters later. His anger leaves him unwilling to entertain compromise while his stolen treasure remains in another's hands 169.

Despite this, he does not immediately seek conflict with Xiao Xian. When encountered during the unification war, Kong claims he is only there to watch events unfold 202.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Conflict over the Longevity Dao Fruit

Kong awakens in the Nine Abyss Divine Territory to find Hong Xuanji holding half of his Longevity Dao Fruit. Rejecting Hong Xuanji's offer to each refine a half, Kong attacks with the intent to recover his property and kill the thief who took it 169.

Observation of the Unification War

Now a Thousand Transformations expert, Kong appears during Xiao Xian's unification campaign. He denies any intention to intervene and says he has come only to watch 202.
