Ning Xi had a congenital immune system disorder and had never left the house since he was little, so he threw himself obsessively into a world-building game.
At first, the game's world was incredibly harsh: oceans of lava, wildfires that raged for months, and a scorched earth. Ning Xi poured time and money into it, bringing down heavenly waters to extinguish the fires and making rivers flow across the entire continent.
To build a more perfect world, Ning Xi hatched many members of the Heavenly race, each with extraordinary abilities, and worked them to the bone. Then, once the world had stabilized, he put them to sleep so ordinary humans could live in peace and safety.

Ning Xi: "...Fine."
Ning Xi decided to keep his secret identity under wraps while searching for the gods and waking them.
