Hong

Biodata

Power Progression

Personality

Hong values resolve, self-improvement, and a powerhouse’s willingness to press forward. When Lin Chenxing chose to enter the dangerous Black God Set ruin, Hong defended the decision as essential to retaining a true powerhouse’s spirit 87.

As Blue Star’s foremost leader, he places humanity’s unity above private competition or greed. He publicly warned the War God Palace that those who created internal division would be eliminated, regardless of their standing 103. His judgment of others is pragmatic but accepting: after Luo Feng disclosed his Golden Horned Beast possession, Hong affirmed that Luo Feng remained one of them as long as he identified as a Blue Star human 129.

Hong also possesses exceptional clarity regarding desire and emotion. His rejection of the idea that immortality requires severing all desires allowed him to pass the Phantom Spirit King’s Eighteen Desires Illusion and challenge her long-held beliefs 203.
