A geophysics academician from Earth, he was struck by a backlash of energy while analyzing the “Hongmeng Universe Model.” His soul transmigrated into a “Hongmeng stubborn stone” from the Hongmeng era, and he even got bound to a System that could synthesize all things!
His name was Shi Hong. Born with the origin of Hongmeng within him, his synthesis ability was practically heaven-defying: everything he made carried Hongmeng traits, and synthesis was guaranteed to succeed. In the Hongmeng era, he met Qing Ning, who had taken human form from a Hongmeng Azure Lotus. Their origins complemented each other, and so began their wondrous journey of shared cultivation and symbiosis.
When Pangu split the heavens and the Great Desolate first took shape, they witnessed countless races rise and the Witch-Demon clans vie for supremacy. Even when the Sages tried to win them over or scheme against them, Shi Hong used treasures synthesized by his System to respond with ease, always maintaining a position above the fray. During the Investiture of the Gods calamity, they protected the Great Desolate and prevented its living beings from suffering devastating losses.
As time passed, the Great Desolate entered the Age of Declining Dharma, its spiritual energy depleted and its laws ossified. Shi Hong and Qing Ning planned ahead, synthesized a cross-realm gate, and traveled to Earth. From then on, they lived in seclusion, secretly restoring Earth’s spiritual energy and cultivating spirit plants. From the Qin and Han dynasties to the modern age, they lived through countless years and witnessed the rise and fall of human fortunes, yet remained by each other’s side, using the power of synthesis to protect a love that spanned time and space and write their own immortal legend.
