Background

Hongjun entered the Dreamscape Universe under a rationalized identity, judging its worldview and ultimate-power structure suitable for himself. He regarded his role as fitting that of a teacher and master to other Sages, while moving to prevent a native counterpart from developing into a future rival 315 316.

He became the leader of the Primordial Sages and concealed the extent of his Creation God authority. Miss Zhang, a former disciple who possessed his body, exploited her knowledge of his techniques to nearly defeat him; the crisis forced Hongjun to reveal his hidden half-seat Creation God power 448.

Appearance

Hongjun is described with an ancient, detached bearing: his opened eyes contain “eternity of ancient vicissitudes,” and he carries an indifferent, superior demeanor 315.

• Often stands with his hands behind his back while addressing opponents 465.
• Can appear as a majestic, ancient war-god-like figure during major confrontations 447.
• His aura manifests immense primordial pressure when he releases Creation God power 448.

Personality

Hongjun is intensely cautious, strategic, and unwilling to accept avoidable risk. Even after preparing a battle formation for tens of thousands of years, he refuses to activate it without ensuring its target enters the required position; he prefers overwhelming preparation to a direct confrontation with uncertain variables 483.

He is proud of his long experience, treating resistance as more interesting than an effortless victory. Yet he can suppress anger and cooperate with former enemies when survival demands it, as seen when he recognizes Zhu Zhengwei's threat and the wider calamity facing Creation Gods 463 479 487.

His pursuit of the Creation God seat is deeply personal. He endured immense loneliness and betrayal to seek a higher realm, reacting with fury when Zhu Zhengwei treats the seat as something that can be relinquished 486.

Abilities & Skills

Creation God Authority

Hongjun can create, rebuild, and alter worlds through Creation God power.

• Reconstructed the damaged Primordial Universe with the declaration, “the Primordial Era is reborn, all things return” 448.
• Remolded the Primordial Universe into a Yang Side Universe, restoring its structure and converting its Sages into controllable Yang Side Sages 450.
• Created a sealed world with a confinement Rule Core to trap Empress Houtu, though she escaped by sacrificing part of her body and Natal Magic Treasure 450.
• His power is tied to the state of his universe; the weakened and plundered Primordial Universe initially left him at a disadvantage against Miss Zhang 448.

World and Race Creation

Hongjun rapidly develops worlds and populations to expand his Creation Strength.

• Created new races and real-world Miner-like lifeforms, which multiplied rapidly and supported the gestation of new worlds through the Mobile Dream Network 452.
• Activated the Bor Universe Tower's frequency to turn all living beings in that universe into Miners, exponentially increasing his Creation Strength 453.
• Constructed thousands of new Yang Side Worlds during the war against Zhu Zhengwei's faction 460.

Dreamscape Manipulation

Hongjun uses dream worlds as both battlefield and weapon.

• Infiltrated The World through a Rule World he personally created, studying its distributed Creation Authority system 463.
• Joined other Strong Practitioners in constructing a new Dreamscape Universe for the decisive battle against Zhu Zhengwei 469.
• Designed the Dreamscape to reverse personality traits, intending to turn Zhu Zhengwei's cautious, evasive nature into an aggressive and conspicuous one 469.
• Retained his past-life memories and Creation Authority after entering the final Dreamscape Universe 470.

Combat and Countermeasures

Hongjun combines direct Sage-level combat with rapid Rule-based adaptation.

• Repelled four Bor Universe Sages with a single attack before demanding their leader appear 447.
• Created a counteracting world to neutralize an S-class poison designed to harm a Creation God 467.
• Personally suppressed The World for a century, locating and killing roughly ninety percent of its Reincarnators despite their ability to replenish their ranks 464.
• Secretly defeated and mind-controlled the All Sages during the tens of thousands of years before Zhu Zhengwei entered the final Dreamscape 484.

Equipment / Magic Treasures

• Jade Disc of Creation — Used to observe changes across the universe and associated with Hongjun's Creation God authority 315 445.
• Creation Jade Butterfly — His Natal Creation Magic Treasure; he used it to generate a world that countered the poison used against him 467.
• Time Rule — The strongest Rule he extracts at the beginning of the new universal era, becoming the foundation of his title as Time Celestial Venerable 490.

Relationships

• Zhu Zhengwei / Zhen Yuanzi — Rival Creation God candidate. Hongjun considers him the universe's second tribulation obstructing his path to Creation; Zhu Zhengwei ultimately defeats him and absorbs his Creation God Rule 465 485.
• Xin Tu — Former disciple. She initially seeks to regain Hongjun's favor by exposing Zhu Zhengwei, but later allies with Zhu Zhengwei against her former master 456 463.
• Miss Zhang — Former disciple who possesses Hongjun's body and uses knowledge of his moves to gain an advantage against him 424 448.
• Empress Houtu — Disciple who escapes Hongjun's confinement and joins the Bor Sage faction; Hongjun later awakens her past-life memories in the final Dreamscape 450 479.
• Primordial Sages — His followers and later Yang Side Sages. Hongjun transforms them into Yang Side entities to make rebellion more difficult 450.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Revelation of the Creation God

When Miss Zhang nearly kills him during the Primordial Universe's weakened period, Hongjun reveals himself as a hidden half-seat Creation God. He reconstructs the Primordial Universe, restores its foundations, and establishes control over its Sages by transforming them into Yang Side beings 448 450.

War Against *The World*

Hongjun recognizes that Zhu Zhengwei has distributed Creation Authority among Reincarnators, allowing countless individuals to develop world-creation techniques. He infiltrates The World, identifies its plan to create god-slayers, and begins a prolonged campaign to suppress its members 463 464.

Tribulation of All Living Beings

Hongjun realizes that Zhu Zhengwei and The World are not merely enemies, but part of the universe's Tribulation of All Living Beings meant to prevent a Creation God from attaining Dao. He confronts Zhu Zhengwei directly, attempting to undermine his Dao Heart by calling him a pawn selected by destiny 464 465.

Final Dreamscape Conflict

After surviving an ambush by the Jade Emperor, Guanyin, Li Shimin, and other former allies, Hongjun proposes rebuilding the shattered battlefield as a Dreamscape Universe. He uses its personality-flipping properties to force Zhu Zhengwei into the open, then relies on preparations made during tens of thousands of years of early development inside the new universe 467 469 484.

Hongjun's preparations ultimately fail against Zhu Zhengwei's accumulated Creation knowledge and collective development model. He is defeated, loses his Creation God Rule, and learns that the final Creation God tribulation is assimilation with the Dao and eventual death 485 486.

New Universal Era

After Zhu Zhengwei completes Singularity cloning and departs the collapsing universe, Hongjun remains behind. He resolves to continue as Hongjun in future eras, enters the Cosmic Membrane first, and claims the Time Rule as the Time Celestial Venerable 490.
