Background / History

Hong began as an assassin, simulating many professions during that period. He later founded the Extreme Martial Arts Gym and became humanity's central pillar during the Great Nirvana era. For decades, he focused on selecting and training martial-arts talent to preserve humanity against monster threats. 81 84

As Earth's strongest martial artist, Hong controlled Hongning Base City through the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, wielding influence that surpassed that of an individual nation. He also served as First Chairperson of the War God Palace. 49 59

Chu He's rise prompted Hong to reassess his own approach to humanity's development. After observing Jiuzhou Group's impact on agriculture, medicine, beast taming, and other industries, Hong concluded that ordinary people and collective creativity were essential to humanity's progress. This perspective influenced the War God Palace's reorganization into the Earth Security Council. 81

Appearance

Hong is consistently associated with black clothing and carries a composed, trustworthy presence despite his overwhelming status. 60 61

• Usually wears black robes or black attire. 60 61
• Possesses a Space Ring. 53
• Uses the Cloud-Touching Vine as combat attire during the Mist Island battle. 63

Personality

Hong is restrained, strategic, and deeply concerned with humanity's survival. When the sea Beast Emperors vanish without provoking a Beast Tide, he treats the silence as a warning rather than a victory and urgently seeks greater strength. 71 72

Despite his authority, Hong listens to Chu He's proposals, including the plan to expand human territory in order to lure sea Beast Emperors ashore. He considers military, political, and logistical consequences rather than pursuing battle for its own sake. 64 66 70

Hong is also introspective. He recognizes that his former emphasis on elite martial artists caused him to underestimate the productive force of the general populace. 81

“The people, only the people, are the true driving force behind the creation of history!” 81
