Background

Chu Ke transmigrated into the world of Dragon Raja and discovered that the Fundamental Forces had become his true body. His first experiments established the ability to transmute matter, disperse into gas, and reconstruct a human vessel from material of equal mass. He retained a human form because it was familiar and convenient rather than necessary for survival 3.

Rather than pursue unlimited power directly, Chu Ke initially treated the multiverse as a succession of stories to experience. He opened a stationery store in the Dragon Blood world, gave Lu Mingfei a gemstone necklace, removed the malicious tag suppressing Lu Mingfei's growth, and began using the boy's life as both a narrative experiment and a source of amusement 3 4 24.

After gaining access to the Multiverse Chat Group, Chu Ke began crossing worlds, mentoring group members, collecting techniques and technologies, and preserving worlds he had visited. He created an Absolute Infinite Multiverse Collection as his personal home, later expanding the concept into the Office: an organization that monitors and manages collected worlds 16 116.

Although he can develop toward omniscience and omnipotence through unrestricted Appraisal and Influence, Chu Ke deliberately suppresses that path. He believes complete omniscience would turn him from a person into an impersonal “It,” ending the uncertainty and enjoyment he seeks from travel and experimentation 59.

Appearance

Chu Ke most often appears as a handsome young man with long, slightly curly black hair, soft and refined features, and a nearly perpetual smile that can appear either sincere or performative. His appearance remains youthful across long spans of time 56 73 77.

  • His default body is deliberately maintained as an ordinary-looking human vessel despite his true nature as Fundamental Forces 24.
  • He can alter his form freely, including becoming gas, a black haloed “Familiar,” a female form, or even nonhuman objects such as an armed helicopter 3 15 24 72.
  • His physical body can appear deceptively slim while possessing strength beyond Dragon Kings and high-level cultivators 57 160.
  • As the Future Buddha, he adopts a disguised religious form; as the black-robed examiner at the Great Luo Heavenly Offering, he conceals his identity while testing contestants 236 268.
  • He has also used combat armor, including a scarlet Nebula Steam Gun transformation and Evol First Stage armor 113 114.

Personality

Chu Ke is driven primarily by curiosity, novelty, food, and the desire to experience stories personally. Once his power became overwhelming, he found conventional ambition directionless and instead adopted “finding fun and eating” as a guiding principle 10 35.

He treats many worlds as games or scripts whose outcomes can be revised, accelerated, or deliberately complicated. He enjoys creating absurd tools, arranging dramatic confrontations, and provoking protagonists into growth. This playfulness often masks calculated manipulation: he erased most of Lao Tang's former existence, exploited the Hero World's leveling loophole, and engineered Feng Xi's rage to create a battle intense enough to force his own breakthrough 24 37 418.

His morality is highly selective. Chu Ke can protect, revive, teach, and provide generously for people he considers friends or interesting companions, but he is equally capable of abandoning or killing others when they are irrelevant to his interests. He openly prioritizes preference over universal obligation 66 68 116 138.

Despite this detachment, he values human rituals and experiences. He refuses to synthesize food with Fundamental Forces, maintains a clean and personally meaningful main body, and preserves deceased companions in the Hall of Valor rather than allowing them to vanish from his infinite life 10 24 116.

Abilities & Skills

Fundamental Forces

Chu Ke's defining power is direct control over the Fundamental Forces, which he identifies as his actual existence rather than merely an ability.

  • Transmutes matter while preserving mass in its early form, including turning a pencil into gold 3.
  • Converts his body into gas and reforms it without harming his consciousness 3.
  • Performs Material Exchange: creates matter from nothing or converts existing matter into Fundamental Forces 10.
  • Creates portals, positions himself across timelines through fragments left in objects, and can establish or merge universes into personal spaces 16.
  • Can analyze, copy, interfere with, and create Cosmic Sea Oddities, placing Fundamental Forces above such artifacts 149 159.
  • Can remove metaphysical tags, attach identity labels that preserve memory and soul, and alter a target's existence or records 4 22 24.
  • Risks becoming omniscient and omnipotent if he allows Appraisal and Influence to develop without restraint; he intentionally limits this growth 59.

Appraisal, Analysis, and Replication

Chu Ke uses the Fundamental Forces as an external supercomputing brain capable of gathering, modeling, and reproducing information.

  • Appraises people, abilities, affinities, relationships, and recent experiences 4 39.
  • Scans memories and timelines, though he dismisses privacy concerns when he has overwhelming power 28.
  • Learns Yanling, cultivation methods, Law techniques, Evolved Being abilities, and other systems by analyzing their users 4 264 271.
  • Deduces optimized methods by simulating vast numbers of cultivation routes and bodily configurations 62 72 275.
  • Can create clones, avatars, puppets, and transformed bodies for experimentation or simultaneous activity across worlds 24 56 183 271.

Cultivation and Law Techniques

Chu Ke practices and invents systems from multiple worlds rather than committing to a single orthodox path.

  • Thirty-Six Transformations of Heavenly Dipper — A Lesser Divine Power containing thirty-six variations; versatile but mana-intensive 63.
  • Five Elements Grand Evasion — Includes Five Elements escape methods and Taoist techniques, such as accelerating plant growth 70.
  • Nine Breaths Qi Ingestion — Rapidly replenishes his mana during combat 71.
  • Indestructible Body — A body-refining method he developed for Duan Xinglian and other disciples 72.
  • Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown Technique — A cyclical Essence–Qi–Spirit method created from Origin of Qi and Evolved Being techniques; its completed form permits planetary-scale power and space travel 265.
  • Idiot Skill 3.0 / Five Qi Unification Art — An expanded version of his cultivation system incorporating numerous techniques gathered from the Great Luo Heavenly Offering 275.
  • Great Refinement Heaven Art — An outer-alchemy cultivation method that refines consumed materials into advancement resources 399.
  • Past Present Future Sword — A sword art divided into Past, Present, and Future Swords. At low cultivation, Chu Ke can use the Present Sword as an overwhelmingly powerful but mana-draining attack 399 400.
  • Dragon Tiger Body — A body-refining art whose full martial “Qi” cannot be naturally produced by Chu Ke's Spiritless Body; he compensates by transforming external matter and emotions into Qi 411.

Combat and Survival

Chu Ke's combat style combines overwhelming physical capability, rapid adaptation, technique theft, and deliberate restraint.

  • His physical strength as an improved Royal-level Hybrid began above 900 kilograms per arm before later body cultivation magnified it drastically 57.
  • He can regenerate severe wounds, reconstruct after bodily destruction, and survive impacts capable of pulverizing ordinary beings 60 278 417.
  • His Aura evolved into an active ability and gave him perception of natural magic across all affinities 46 48.
  • He can fight using sword light, Law swords, fists, body refinement, Divine Powers, and copied techniques 60 71 269.
  • Great Sun Returning to Ruin is his strongest documented sword technique in the Dragon Roam world; it destroyed Feng Xi's Domain across a vast portion of the city 418.
  • His Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown cultivation can produce a full-strength strike capable of shattering the Moon 274.

Creation and Engineering

Chu Ke merges supernatural systems with technology to produce tools, infrastructure, and power systems.

  • Created an Absolute Infinite Multiverse Collection and fused one contained multiverse with his stationery store 16.
  • Built the Office from the original Hall of Valor, using it to store world-marble archives and monitor collected worlds 116.
  • Developed magical props such as the Magic Cube, curse tools, transformation equipment, and battle armor designs 39 47 113.
  • Created Nezha One, a heavenly-lightning weapon that attacks targets other than its thrower but consumes roughly one-quarter of the user's Destiny 347 348.
  • Established the Azure Cloud Sect's spiritual-treasure plantations, Spiritual Energy Reactors, and Tribulation Power Generation System 350.
  • Developed the Second Tree of Power project, intended to stand independently beside Fundamental Forces through the integrated paths of Essence, Qi, and Spirit 248.

Equipment, Weapons, and Creations

  • Gemstone necklaces — Anchors for Chu Ke's Fundamental Forces and time-positioning markers; Lu Mingfei and Caesar each received one 16.

  • The Office — A dimensional administration center containing archived world-marble records and staffed by subordinates such as Zhao Dali and Jarvis 116.

  • V — Multiverse Chat Group companion and martial-arts student. Chu Ke trains V in the Cyberpunk world and treats him as one of his closer associates 28 29 150.
  • David Martinez — Student and employee of Chu Ke's shop. Chu Ke recognizes David's physical potential, trains him, and provides martial-arts manuals 27 28.
  • Steve — Chat Group companion whom Chu Ke prevents from recklessly unlocking Creative Mode; instead, he grants Steve mod-download capability 16.
  • Zhao Dali — Office employee and slime-like assistant. Their relationship is casual and familial, though Chu Ke openly threatens to rehire her even after reincarnation 108 116.
  • Jarvis / War — Former Demon King cadre defeated by Chu Ke, renamed Jarvis, and made responsible for battle-armor production and the Office's central processing 47 116.

Story Role and Major Arcs

Dragon Blood World

Chu Ke begins his multiversal activities by opening a stationery store in the Dragon Raja world. He gives Lu Mingfei a gemstone necklace, removes the “Malice of the Higher Narrator” tag hindering Lu Mingfei's growth, and provides Magical Girl and Kamen Rider-style systems that radically alter the original story 3 4 17 79.

He separates Lao Tang's identity from Norton, then erases much of Lao Tang's prior existence while leaving an avatar behind to watch the consequences for Lu Mingfei and Lao Tang 22 24. He later returns under the identity of a Kassel Academy student and accepts Xia Mi as a cultivation disciple 77 161.

Cyberpunk World

Chu Ke rescues and recruits David Martinez, trains David and V inside a time-accelerated universe, and teaches them internal force, the Sandevistan Speed Cultivation Method, Invincible Cat Paw, and Tomato Scrambled Egg Fist 27 28 29.

Hero World

Seeking to become a protagonist rather than merely grant cheats, Chu Ke enters a summoned-hero scenario and is mistakenly assigned the Demon King profession 35. He exploits the world's point system, rapidly reaches Divine Power, draws the Holy Sword despite lacking the intended Heart of Salvation, and becomes the anomaly responsible for the world's broken cycle of fate 46 50 53.

Sun and Moon Misalignment World

Using only the calculation and analytical functions of Fundamental Forces, Chu Ke joins the declining Three Truths Method. He refuses its exclusive Law so he can pursue multiple cultivation paths, develops Law techniques and magical treasures, and becomes a legendary ancestor figure to later generations 56 63 69.

His intervention is especially destructive at Black Mountain Village, where he kills the villagers and coerces Bai Xiao Xiao into becoming his maid by offering the possibility of resurrecting her parents 66 68.

Office and Collected Worlds

Chu Ke transforms the Hall of Valor into the Office, a multiversal archive and monitoring center. He preserves worlds and companions he values, manages collected world-marble records, and employs subordinates to oversee them 116.

Joestar World

Posing as an Eastern merchant, Chu Ke saves George Joestar and becomes Jonathan's godfather. He builds the Chu Corporation, intervenes in DIO and Jonathan's childhood conflict, develops Gene-Seed research, and arranges DIO as his successor 176 177 180.

Before leaving, he writes a will containing hidden clues about “Going to Heaven,” “Over Heaven,” and escaping Fate, hoping DIO will pursue a new future 194.

Zhou Realm and Azure Cloud Sect

Chu Ke becomes Xiao Miao's talisman-bound master, gives him the Mystic Law Devil cultivation art, and helps him rebuild his dantian, cultivate, refine pills, and acquire a Buddha Son-like identity 228 229 236.

After converging with a dead alternate self in another cultivation world, Chu Ke assumes leadership of the Azure Cloud Sect. He builds mass spiritual-treasure cultivation systems, Spiritual Energy Reactors, and a plan to make Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment accessible to everyone 342 349 350.

Evolved Being World

As Zhang Zhiwei's disciple, Chu Ke seeks to collect, optimize, and distribute cultivation methods across the Jianghu. He creates Even an Idiot Can Practice Divine Skill and later the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown Technique 261 262 265.

At the Great Luo Heavenly Offering, he uses black-robed clones to force contestants into revealing their techniques, then defeats Zhang Zhiwei and leaves Dragon Tiger Mountain in ruins 268 271 272.

Spirit/Goblin World

A younger world-instance of Chu Ke begins cultivation through the Great Refinement Heaven Art and Past Present Future Sword. He develops multiple Dantians, confronts the Leopard Spirit Feng Xi, and uses their battle to force a breakthrough 398 399 405 417.

After the Dragon Roam incident, he helps establish the Primal Sect and the Gate of All Beings plan, accelerating the world's transition into a modern cultivation civilization before ascending and connecting the world to the Office 420.
