|---|---|---|
| Stronger post-return state; exact realm unstated | 566 | Guiyuan notes that Hongjun has returned stronger and carries another aura, judging that one of Hongjun's Other Selves refined and devoured another; which self prevailed is unknown. |
Background / History
Hongjun returns stronger than before, with an additional aura that Guiyuan interprets as evidence of an internal conflict between Hongjun's Other Selves. Guiyuan believes one self refined and devoured the other, but cannot determine which Hongjun survived the struggle 566.
At Wa Huang Palace, Hongjun is already waiting when Guiyuan arrives. He explains that Xi Huang recently showed him a broader world, and that since Yang Mei is contributing to Primordial Heaven's efforts, he should go as well 566.
When Guiyuan asks about Primordial Heaven, Hongjun says Heavenly Dao Hongjun is managing it. He also notes that the Three Pure Ones and the Two Sages of the West have matured, and that the Earthly Dao and Human Dao are already in place, allowing Primordial Heaven's development to remain orderly 566.
Hongjun chooses to leave rather than remain behind, stating that he has no further use staying locally and would rather test those who seek to plunder Primordial Heaven's origin. He departs with the group after they ignite their Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruits using Primordial Heaven's aura 566.
Personality
Hongjun is proactive about defending Primordial Heaven. He does not treat Yang Mei's contribution as something separate from himself; instead, he sees it as a reason he must also participate 566.
He is pragmatic about leadership and delegation. Rather than personally remaining in Primordial Heaven, he trusts Heavenly Dao Hongjun, the matured Saints, and the established Earthly and Human Daos to maintain order 566.
He is also openly combative toward outside plunderers, describing his departure as a chance to “test the mettle” of those seeking to steal Primordial Heaven's origin 566.
