Background & History
Nangong Qi is a direct descendant of the Nangong Family, a Longevity-level family from Taisu Star. He calls himself the Nangong Family's foremost prodigy in thousands of years. His grandfather, Nangong Yao, is a mid-stage Longevity Realm cultivator; Nangong Qi's parents were killed by the Xu Family, leaving Nangong Yao's son dead and Nangong Qi as his sole descendant. 336 383 389 391
He first encountered Sheng Huai'an in the starry sea while attempting to escape a Star-Moving Giant Ape after stealing its spiritual fruits. Unable to defeat the beast by himself, he offered Sheng Huai'an a Star Fruit in exchange for assistance. The two fought the ape together and escaped the star domain after Sheng Huai'an killed it. 334 335
After learning Sheng Huai'an's temporary name was “Yanzu,” Nangong Qi began calling him Brother Yanzu and invited him into the Chaos Secret Realm. He repeatedly tried to enlist Sheng Huai'an against the rival Xu Family, whose members later pursued Nangong Qi through the secret realm. Sheng Huai'an's defeat of Xu Hao and slaughter of the pursuing Xu cultivators led Nangong Qi to formally acknowledge him as his elder brother. 336 337 341 342
The destruction of the Xu Family became Nangong Qi's long-awaited revenge. During the seven-family assault on the Xu Divine City, his hatred nearly drove him into the Demonic Path; Sheng Huai'an restrained him and learned of his parents' deaths. With the Xu Family's downfall, Nangong Qi's obsession dissipated and his state of mind reached perfection, enabling him to prepare for his Longevity Realm tribulation. 389 390
After successfully entering the Longevity Realm, Nangong Qi continued accompanying Sheng Huai'an through conflicts on Tianxuan Star and Taisu Star. He supported the Nangong Family's alliance with Sheng Huai'an, helped assemble a Nangong clan army, and later became a Divine General under the Haoyang Imperial Court. 392 417 429 444
Personality
Nangong Qi is greedy, excitable, and highly opportunistic around rare resources. He was willing to risk a battle with a Star-Moving Giant Ape for spiritual fruits, became obsessed with excavating Nine Heavens Star Sand, and eagerly collects valuables left behind by defeated enemies. 334 344 345 355
He is also unreliable and prone to embellishment. His directions are repeatedly questionable, he tries to pull Sheng Huai'an into his family feud, and he once fled when Xu Family cultivators targeted him. Nevertheless, he is quick to recognize strength and became sincerely loyal to Sheng Huai'an after witnessing his power. 337 341 342
Though he often prioritizes self-preservation, Nangong Qi's hatred for the Xu Family is genuine and deeply personal. Once the family was vulnerable, he fought with reckless fury to avenge his parents, requiring Sheng Huai'an to stop him from losing himself to vengeance. 345 389
