Background

Shen Hongfei is a transmigrator who retained knowledge from a previous life. He awakened in Nuwa's womb with the Womb Sign-in System, initially receiving Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation, God-Tier Enlightenment Talent, and Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze. He later learned that he was the son of Nuwa and the Ancestral Dragon. 1 2 58

Before birth, he repeatedly used his knowledge of the Primordial Era to protect Nuwa from schemes, secure opportunities, and collect treasures. He guided her in acquiring the Gourd Vine, its roots, and Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, then identified the golden gourd as material for refining the Monster-Recruiting Banner. 13 15

His Ancestral Dragon inheritance manifested at Zixiao Palace as a nine-clawed dragon phantom powerful enough to alarm Hongjun and suppress the auras of the Three Pure Ones. Several powers sought to accept him as a disciple, but Shen Hongfei refused formal discipleship until he could perform the proper ceremony after birth. 8

Shen Hongfei became betrothed to Houtu after agreeing to help the Witch Clan with its predicament. He defended the engagement by accepting Xing Tian's challenge, overwhelming the Golden Immortal with his Grand Luo cultivation and Heaven-Refining Furnace. 38 45 46

After aiding the Dragon Clan against the Demon Clan, he was revealed as the Ancestral Dragon's son and appointed the new Dragon Clan patriarch by Ao Ping. He remained in the Dragon Palace for a century to help the clan accept his leadership, during which he obtained the God-Slaying Spear through sign-in. 58 59

Appearance

Shen Hongfei spent most of his early life unborn within Nuwa. After attaining Sainthood, he emerged appearing as a two-year-old boy, though others also describe his initial form as an infant in a red loincloth. He later grew into a handsome young man. 191 192 202

• Golden-yellow pupils containing flames and an Innate Rune. 2
• Initially presented himself in an infantile form despite possessing Saint-level power. 192
• Wore a red loincloth during his first journey through the Primordial Era. 192
• Later appeared as a handsome, dashing young man in a long robe. 202

Personality

Shen Hongfei is calculating, assertive, and exceptionally protective of Nuwa. He considers the Primordial Era full of schemes and treats his own strength and resources as the surest protection for his mother. 15 25

He is possessive of treasures and willing to manipulate stronger figures to obtain them, earning a reputation as a little money grubber. However, his greed is pragmatic: he trades resources, Merit, and spiritual treasures to strengthen Nuwa's forces, the Dragon Clan, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation. 13 101 138 174

Despite his bluntness, Shen Hongfei can be selfless toward those close to him. He declined a strand of Primordial Violet Qi so Houtu could receive it, later expended most of his Merit to supply the Underworld with Yinhun Pills, and refused to blame reincarnated Fuxi for the original Fuxi's actions. 90 190 194
