Kong Deming

Biodata

Background / History

Kong Deming became a Titled Douluo at forty while also devoting time to Soul Tools. He has twin Martial Souls, Silver Moon and Blazing Sun. He believes that his engineering work delayed his cultivation, but after traveling to the earlier era, he hopes to reach Limit Douluo 12 19.

When Tang San ordered the Sun Moon Empire to surrender its conquered territory, Kong Deming joined Li Chen and the troops in refusing to submit. He shared their final toast before a black hole consumed Douluo Star. The Plane Spirit sent him and a fraction of the empire’s forces roughly ten thousand years into the past 1.

At the survivors’ first camp, Kong Deming organized the troops, deployed detection Soul Tools and sent scouts to survey the area. He later helped plan the group’s rebuilding effort under its new public identity, the Sun Moon Sect 2 3 4.
