Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Wentian is the son of Nangong Yi, lord of Nangong City, and the elder brother of Nangong Wenya. Although Yun Tian arrives forty years before the original storyline and changes events surrounding Yu Yan, the system confirms that Wentian and his sister are destined figures whose births will still occur. Nangong Yi later marries and the protagonist is born, but his mother differs from the original storyline; the provided account does not identify her 4 5 9.

Before Nangong City falls, Wentian goes out to play with Wenya and their steward, Third Uncle. His father has already given him the strength-enhancing Green Arm Bracer. During the invasion, Nangong Yi orders Xiao Long to retrieve a Divine Beast Egg from the Nuwa Divine Store and deliver it to Wentian as the city’s last hope 8 9 10.

Personality

Wentian is protective of his sister and willing to intervene for strangers. He saves fruit for Wenya, rescues three children from an aggressive monkey, and immediately searches for his sister when ominous clouds gather over Nangong City. During his first battle, he tries to move Wenya out of Sonic Bat’s attack despite being unable to continue fighting himself 10 11.

He accepts Heaven Crystal Beast’s condition that its power be used for justice and later commits himself to restoring peace throughout the Jade Dragon Kingdom. He also shares credit with his companions after defeating the Wrestling General, urgently seeks treatment for the ill Heaven Crystal Beast, and stops Ximen Xiao from beating the defeated Beiming Lei to death 10 15 21 26 32.
