Tian

Biodata

Background / History

Tian was the first Human Race member to appear and witnessed Qing Xuanzi's early efforts to guide the newly born humans. When Huang collapsed from insect venom, Tian rushed to inform Qing Xuanzi; afterward, he openly envied Qing Xuanzi's immortality 2.

As the Congenital Human Race began cultivating, Tian celebrated Qing Xuanzi's attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao alongside the other humans 3. During the establishment of the Human Race Dao Palace, Tian proposed recognizing Qing Xuanzi as the Human Race's Wise Teacher, citing the fact that every Human Race immortal had benefited from him 7.

Qing Xuanzi later appointed Tian and seven other leading Congenital Humans as Guardian Elders, entrusting them with the eight divisions of Human Race immortals and the execution of the Dao Palace's laws 7. When the Human Race came under attack, Tian used a jade slip to urgently call Qing Xuanzi back from the Witch Race 12.

When Qing Xuanzi ordered the Three Thousand Congenital Humans into seclusion until they reached the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Tian alone raised the practical question of who would defend the Human Race in their absence 52. Much later, Tian was present at the Human Race Dao Palace awaiting Huang's return from his trials 136.

Personality

Tian is reverent toward Qing Xuanzi and deeply invested in the Human Race's welfare. His immediate proposal to name Qing Xuanzi the Wise Teacher reflects his gratitude and recognition of Qing Xuanzi's foundational role in the race's development 7.

He also displays responsibility and caution. Rather than objecting to the Congenital Humans' seclusion, Tian focuses on the vulnerability it could create for the Human Race 52.
