Taichu

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Taichu originates from the Taichu World, described as his source and as the beginning of Yuan Chu, the first epoch. The Taichu Era exists concurrently with the Primordial Chaos Era, though the two do not occupy the same dimension. 594

Before Pangu's final rise, Yang Mei regarded Taichu as vastly stronger than Pangu. When Pangu's power suddenly surged during the Primordial Chaos World's restoration, however, Yang Mei initially sensed an aura even greater than Taichu's. 594

Personality

Taichu is restrained about matters others cannot change. He refuses to explain the method behind his own transcendence because it is uniquely his and cannot be copied. 594

Despite this reserve, he offers reassurance rather than despair. He tells Ling Huan and the other failed contenders that the Primordial Chaos Era has not ended and that an opportunity for transcendence remains if they can seize it. 594

Abilities & Skills

Non-Void Transcendence

Taichu has transcended without relying on the Void, distinguishing his path from Pangu's and the Primordial Chaos Great Dao's transcendence following the Primordial Chaos World's resurgence. 594

• His method is explicitly stated to be impossible for others to replicate. 594
• His transcendence allows him to depart the Primordial Chaos World for the Void. 594

Mysterious Infant's Neutralization

When the Mysterious Infant attempted to claim the source of transcendence within the restored Primordial Chaos World, Taichu turned his gaze upon it and caused it to become a void existence. A Void Stone Mill appeared where it vanished. 594

• Taichu explains that the Mysterious Infant had come for the Void Stone Mill and exploited the chaos surrounding the Primordial World's transformation to seek the source of transcendence. 594
• His intervention occurs after Pangu's appearance exposes the Mysterious Infant's failure to secure the benefits of the Primordial Chaos's resurgence. 594

Protective Bestowal

Before leaving, Taichu sends several gray-green points of light into the Three Pure Ones and the Three Daos. 594

• The lights are described as Taichu's final protection for them. 594
• Taichu notes that the protection may ultimately be unnecessary. 594
