Background / History
Ronan underwent neurological drug-based physical modification and experimentation from the age of ten. The treatments altered his nervous-system structure and contributed to delayed physical development relative to his peers. 624 1037
Luo Zhongheng is Ronan's father, explicitly identified as such in his family's discussion of their wilderness history. He left Ronan the Imitation Paper Soft Screen, an External Neuron, and a specialized knowledge system through recorded messages and virtual guidance. 13 346 1317 1320 Yan Yongbo is a separate figure connected to Quantum Corporation and the Seven Colors Fund, whose activities include acquiring Gear, the company established by Ronan's mother, Luo Qingwen. 96 97
He is the grandson of Luo Yuandao, whose Format Theory profoundly shapes Ronan’s research and self-understanding. The work of Luo Yuandao, Luo Qingwen, and Luo Zhongheng is closely tied to the Mist Labyrinth, North Shore Gear, the Cloud Top World, and the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison. 93 1047
Ronan's early confinement and awakening are marked by an unstable mental state, an internal ghost-like presence, and his use of hand-drawn self-portraits to investigate his own form-spirit condition. His ability to perceive and sketch otherwise invisible phenomena soon draws Zhang Yingying's attention and leads him toward the Ability User Association. 13 14 28
After the Lan Mountain Battleship incident, Ronan’s cultivation accelerated sharply. He later identifies the Demon Rune’s “My Heart is a Prison” Mapping and its Dark Heavy Chains as the starting point of this rapid growth. 1318
His early rise in Xia City establishes him as an influential Mental Side Ability User. He develops and publicly teaches theories including Cage Theory, applies Format Theory in practice, and becomes a central figure in Inner World affairs. 516 560 561
Ronan takes responsibility for Raven after her escape from the Human-Faced Spider’s influence. Their shared system, projection link, and continuing exploration of the Cloud Top World become central to both his research and his personal life. 121 130 501
His extraordinary activities increasingly affect his family. With He Yueyin's prepared explanations and his friends' support, he partially reveals his abilities and Association membership to Mo Haihang while withholding more dangerous details. His aunt later entrusts him with Raven's registration and asks him to take greater responsibility for her education and mental health. 521 523 1106 1111
The sale of two Extraordinary Species character cards at the Emerald Light auction raises nearly two billion and establishes the Ronan and His Friends Foundation. The foundation subsequently pursues a Global Census and local office network, encountering administrative obstruction in Ha City and Xi City. 1118 1423
Within the Sky Abyss Empire’s military test context, Ronan is registered as a twenty-year-old third-class warrant officer specially recruited into the Thunder Cluster, with a Level 1 Technical Staff Officer specialization in Space-Time Configuration. He repeatedly functions as a frontline technician, engineer, scout, and battlefield coordinator despite his limited conventional combat experience. 1606 1607 1609
His later work connects Earth, Outer Earth, the Han Guang Star System, and the Mist Labyrinth through increasingly sophisticated space-time models. He treats the relationship between Inner and Outer Earth as both a strategic problem and a test of his developing understanding of Self, life, and environmental rules. 1341 2191 2327 2821
In the Central Star Zone, Ronan operates through a cover identity that presents him as a recently created clone. By the time Wei Su Yi discusses Po Ran's history with him, this identity is only five weeks old, forcing Ronan to conceal knowledge that would be implausible for such a young clone to possess. 3224
Appearance
Ronan is a slight, youthful-looking teenager whose physical development was slowed by years of neurological treatment. Though his fighting technique is considered poor by martial specialists, his awakened body possesses inhuman strength. 736 1037
- Retains visible youthful fuzz on his cheeks and lips despite beginning to develop stubble. 1037 1108
- Has worn conspicuous restrictive external equipment. 171
- Uses an unusual suspended monocle-like lens before his left eye during observation and analysis. 800
- His eyes can appear cracked like ice after intense exertion. 318
- Can manifest a vast, cape-like Soul Cape centered on himself. 516 860
- Uses ordinary student uniforms, shirts, and trousers when not equipped for missions, though he has also adopted disguises and exoskeleton-enhanced clothing for operations. 550 696
- His public image eventually becomes that of a remarkably young, somewhat boyish but handsome first-rate Inner World figure. 2046
- In Sky Abyss military scenarios, he commonly appears in mechanic armor, a Mechanic Support Platform, or specially configured exoskeleton equipment suited for engineering and Space-Time Configuration work. 1607 2980
- His body can be enclosed in a temporary “Perfect Body” exoskeleton framework capable of confining destructive Great Lord-level energy within its structure, although the framework itself can crack under the strain. 1912
- Has worn a flesh-colored operational bodysuit with a Narrow Metal Belt, Heart Guard Mirror-like Buckled Leather Armor, and Gemstone Tail Ring. His improved physique fills out the suit despite his lean, underdeveloped build. 471
- Dresses simply and solemnly in white inner clothing and black outer clothing when departing to commemorate his mother's death. 1118
Personality
Ronan is introverted, analytical, and often more comfortable studying structures, systems, and people than navigating ordinary conversation. He can become distracted in social situations, struggles with introductions, and is frequently unaware of others’ affection or fear toward him. 391 633
His personality is shaped by a difficult childhood and by being protected by his aunt, uncle, and cousins. Outside observers identify a “Weak Persona,” marked by sensitivity, passivity, and low-key obedience, alongside more dominant and ideal-driven sides. Over time, these aspects increasingly unify around his ideals, giving him greater confidence and toughness. 625 1217
Ronan's Ideal Persona is particularly rooted in his desire for familial connection and in his internalization of Format Theory as a standard for judging both himself and the world. 627 628 678 His previously distinct Strong, Weak, and Ideal Persona masks gradually merge into a more stable self centered on this ideal-driven core. 1217 1511
He is intensely curious and can be impatient when confronting unanswered questions. This drive pushes his research forward but also risks overextending himself, particularly when Raven or other allies bear the consequences. 621 1305
Despite his detachment, Ronan is deeply attached to family history and protective of Raven. He seeks to understand his parents and grandfather, preserve their work, and provide Raven with a life beyond being treated solely as a weapon or research subject. 533 584 592
His protectiveness extends to relatives and friends who might be used to pressure him. He tolerates disrespect toward himself more readily than attempts to manipulate his family, arranging protection for Mo Ya when her band's Ban City trip appears connected to the Treating Guests Plan. 734
Ronan can become so absorbed in research that he overlooks the individuality of the people he observes. Paper Cut challenges this tendency when Ronan cannot immediately remember the names of a brother and sister whose condition he has been analyzing. Ronan also recognizes the danger of drawing companions and ordinary classmates into confrontations with powerful opponents. 394 407
He values meaningful personal development over merely increasing a system's efficiency. When helping Zhai Gong, he rejects the idea of simply incorporating him into his Closed System production line and instead encourages independent progress through hand drawing. 517
In later reflection, Ronan recognizes that the Self changes continuously through social environment, responsibility, and experience. He seeks to identify and correct his own limits amid those changes rather than pursue a fixed, unchanging identity. 2917
His increasingly vast perception has not removed his awareness of human limitations. He recognizes that global surveillance and structural prediction can still be obstructed by powerful individuals’ Self Logic, information barriers, and the practical need for specialized intelligence analysis. 1327 1516
As a military organizer and instructor, Ronan favors precise, sustainable systems over dramatic bursts of power. His harsh but systematic training emphasizes rules, laws, coordination, and reliable collective efficiency. 1755 3040
His later conduct also shows increased patience in political and military situations. Rather than immediately seek leave from the Great Monarchs or accept Mo She's offer to intervene, he waits for Wei Su Yi's instructions while continuing his own Boundary Curtain investigation. 3133
Abilities & Skills
Psychic Map and Life Starry Sky
Ronan perceives living beings and their form-spirit structures as an interconnected starry-sky-like system. This lets him observe, locate, analyze, and sometimes attack targets at range. 356 472
- Expands mental perception over large areas to sense people, emotions, and structural relationships. 129
- Creates Life Sketches and increasingly detailed star-chart representations of individuals. 363
- Identifies targets and infection-stage records through his sensory network. 672
- Uses psychic maps to investigate social networks, capital, bureaucracy, and hidden connections. 529
- Can monitor and reconstruct long-distance events involving tracked targets. 1515
- Uses the Star River Observation System to observe the form-spirit interaction of powerful targets and analyze their Life Sketches. 233
- Can project his perception to fixed points and produce crude but real-time panoramic observation of distant locations. 131
- Reconstructs remote material scenes through water vapor and psychic perception with virtual-environment-like fidelity. 728
- Can transform a local environment into a Life Starry Sky, marking people and organizations according to their relationships and suspected affiliations. 2327
- His Gestalt has evolved by integrating Life Sketches and the Life Starry Sky, producing an increasingly complex starry-sky representation of space-time, life, and concealed laws. 2090
- Uses the Inner Universe Simulator with his own observational methods to monitor battlefield terrain, personnel, and maintenance facilities at strategic scale. 1667
- His early all-domain perception initially covers approximately five meters; later, he can survey changing life auras within a thirty-kilometer radius and resolve familiar locations into concrete scenes. 82 734
- Uses Ink as a remote observational reference point, improving the precision of his Life Starry Sky perception. 387
- Can filter groups by shared structural traits and reconstruct approximate life trajectories through the Rule Difference Annotation model and the Inner Universe Simulator's Romance Time-Space Large Model. These reconstructions are useful but not necessarily exact. 1814
Astral Projection
Ronan can separate his Soul Body from his physical body and travel through the spiritual level.
- His Soul Body can move several kilometers in a thought when unhindered by his physical form. 347
- Uses shared projection links to locate Raven. 130
- Overuse leaves his body unresponsive and physically strained enough to require hospitalization. 130
- The External Neuron can transform into a micron-scale structure that accompanies his Soul Body. 379
- Through his Dark Cloak state, his Soul Body can exist in the gap between the Mental and Material Layers and interfere directly with material phenomena at considerable energy cost. 379
- Can enter a phantom-like state to observe exceptionally distant space-time structures, though doing so can severely drain his true body. 2289
- Uses dream and lucid-dream states as controlled modes of perception, allowing his consciousness to align with memories, symbolic structures, and large-scale game-like logic. 2233
- The Dark Cloak is produced when the External Neuron's interference force spreads through his Soul Body. Its initial physical test generates a visible stream of wind despite his lack of a material body. 379
- Physical training and improved spirit–matter interference reduce the practical gap between embodied and projected perception, although Astral Projection can still raise his mental sensing to a higher level. 484
Soul Cape, Altar Spiderweb, and Grand Coordinate System
His Soul Cape provides exceptional perception coverage, while the Grand Coordinate System anchors his interference around himself and his form-spirit order. 516 605
- The Soul Cape can cover almost the entire Earth, though Ronan must focus on a location to act there. 605
- Allows precise long-range positioning and intervention through observation. 605
- His cape-like power can dominate and support large-scale systems centered on him. 860
- Broad coverage forces him to confront overwhelming information without a normal buffer. 516
- His revealed identity causes the Altar Spiderweb to expand across nearly all Awakened and a substantial number of ordinary people, exposing him to an immense information storm. 857
- Analyzes the “Mirror Image” formed from others’ impressions of him, expelling distortions into the Veil of Silence and integrating useful elements into his self-model. 858
- Uses the Ronan Ruler as an active projection of his self-understanding, leveraging collective human perception to gather and organize power within the Mental Ocean. 1136
- Can establish an enduring image of himself in others’ minds, allowing that image to influence how they perceive and act within a shared social “theater.” 2435
- Extends an incomplete second Grand Coordinate System across Outer Earth through a blood-red altar spiderweb that draws upon human vitality and Qi. 2191
- Has developed an Abyss Zone Solidified Configuration whose effects extend across both Inner and Outer Earth. 2821
- Uses the Soul Cape as an external reservoir, allowing stored Soul Power to expand beyond his body's carrying capacity. His Closed System production line and the Cloud Top World's reserves provide exceptional endurance, but his physical framework still limits how much power he can release at once. 598
- Treats the Grand Coordinate System as a personal Extraordinary Domain whose origin is himself and whose governing rule is his form-spirit Order Framework, even before being formally considered an Extraordinary Species. 605
- The Water Condensation Ring-based Soul Cape affects surrounding water molecules in subtle ways that exceptionally sensitive material observers, including Dean Wan Ta, can detect. 749
Demon Rune
The Demon Rune is a core part of Ronan’s power model and a major catalyst for his cultivation. Its “My Heart is a Prison” Mapping manifests Dark Heavy Chains and a rule-based internal prison. 687 1318
- Enables influence over minds when Ronan has sufficient significance in a target’s perception. 676
- Has been used to infiltrate influential figures’ minds and affect their will. 529
- Supports free movement and flexible interaction in the Abyss Zone. 705
- Reacts strongly to Ronan’s negative emotions, especially anger. 1722
- Its use around intelligent beings carries ethical and practical uncertainty. 269
- Can weave the emotional states of many people into a network of human hearts, enabling Ronan to analyze emotional motives and manipulate the resulting structure. 2194
- Its Dark Heavy Chains can draw upon the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison and expand alongside Ronan’s Mist Palace and Abyss Zone configurations. 2349
- Ronan compares the Demon Rune’s Siege Hammer effect to the Chaos Cannon’s rule-disrupting battlefield effects. 1735
- Its hunting and devouring of its own kind feeds power back to Ronan, contributing to his rapid development after the Lan Mountain Battleship incident and the destruction of the Blood Flame Order's ritual vessel. 1318
- Ronan can use its connection to monitor Morun and the Blood Soul Temple structure parasitizing the Rune. The Human-Faced Spider's chaotic power also exposes otherwise concealed structural traces within the temple. 384 426
- His command gradually develops from restraining the Rune's instinctive activity with Dark Heavy Chains to increasingly deliberate technical control. 1826
Configuration and Format Theory
Ronan studies and applies Format Theory, Configuration, and related form-spirit frameworks as both research tools and combat methods.
- Designed the Water Condensation Ring, which bridges spiritual and material levels and helps him fully use Soul Power. 443
- Developed Cage Theory and taught it to other Ability Users. 560
- Builds defensive Blood Intent Ring “fortresses” for operation in the Abyss Zone. 584 620
- Uses Configuration fragments from the Cloud Top World to refine his sensory methods. 621
- Can manifest structures such as Clay Figures equipped with Segmenters for scouting. 1683
- Develops “Luo’s Core,” a personal core consciousness forged through Format Theory, repeated Configuration practice, and the refinement of a pure central concept. 693
- Uses self-portraits and the balance of body and spirit as practical methods for examining and refining his own form-spirit framework. 1319 1320
- Applies Life Sketches as preliminary form-spirit designs comparable in function to early Lawcraft structures. 1668
- Is recognized in military files as a Space-Time Configuration specialist capable of constructing a Fantasy Paradigm. 1683
- Uses Clay Figures as expendable scouts, links their real-time sensory data to allies, and employs their destruction as battlefield trial-and-error data. 1685
- Applies the Eye of Knowing Configuration to dissolve resistance and enforce cooperation within a large Deep Blue Walker formation. 1407
- Can create and maintain a Mist Palace-based “Thirteen Kingdoms” system, projecting it onto targets and arranging its structures as constellations in the Abyss Zone. 2349
- Trains others through Format Theory frameworks modeled on Ancient Gods, using rules and law-like structures to improve coordination and sustainable performance. 3040
- His Ancient God imitation pairs “observation + analysis” as locking on with “destruction + construction” as devouring. He recognizes that his Overall Architecture resembles Ancient Gods' starry-sky support and uses the “I” character to stabilize himself within the Polar Domain. 3039
- Can tear away and transfer unwanted components from a Giant Pseudo-Ancient God Structure, demonstrating selective control over its composition. 3046
- Uses Format Theory energy circulation to activate Gear's atrium mechanism and connect his form-spirit framework with its accumulated energy and space-time rules. 2352
- Distinguishes his Format Theory foundation from orthodox Inner Universe cultivation: although related in origin, its selflessness and toolification diverge from the Inner Universe's core approach. Changes imposed by the Myriad Heavens Divine Kingdoms also make rapid Inner Universe construction impractical in the current Central Star Zone. 3024
Dripping Water Sword and Water Condensation Ring
Ronan studies the Dripping Water Sword, a C-rank technique that condenses water vapor and directs it toward an enemy's weak points. Its Water Condensation Ring becomes far more important to his development than the technique's nominal rank suggests. 374 382 443
- Masters the five auxiliary structures of Range Extension, Acceleration, Sharpening, Burst, and Guidance. The control-oriented structures are extensions of the central ring and benefit from its stability during repeated practice. 378
- Can maintain condensed droplets after withdrawing direct concentration and studies their continuing Soul Power consumption. 376
- Controls a droplet after Astral Projection, establishing the ring as a vessel through which Soul Power can affect matter. 378
- Calls the External Neuron's appropriation and reconstruction of the ring's structure “Fetal Bone Seizure.” 378
- Eventually dismantles and recombines the sword's structural framework freely, sometimes sketching a structure instinctively and allowing its power to arise. 483
- Continually refines the ring and External Neuron circuit as his perception, Soul Power, and Nine Orifices Six Roots cultivation advance. 443
Coupling and Space-Time Manipulation
Ronan applies Coupling Theory and Configuration to movement, cross-space travel, and manipulation of spatial structures.
- Controls the Aberrant Species Devil Fish through Coupling. 318
- Developed a teleportation method to return to North Shore Gear. 767
- Can enter and leave the Cloud Top World freely through Space-Time Configuration. 2351
- Studies the North Shore Gear as a model for precise cross-space passage construction. 606
- Imitated the Shadow Louse’s void-tearing ability, though the initial attempt was imperfect. 1096
- Uses Gear's laws to teleport equipment and airdrop crates across vast distances, though such operations heavily deplete his Soul Power. 591
- Applies mutual mapping and spacetime-rule concepts to consider creating efficient routes through the Mist Labyrinth. 1881
- Uses the Inner Universe Simulator to examine the Earth-Moon System and Han Guang Star System and to pursue the restoration of a connection between their respective time-spaces. 1341
- Can construct a Logic Boundary from facts, rumors, symbolic anchors, and Magneto-Optical Mica’s support, using it to isolate powerful targets within a Time-Space Bubble. 2234
- Has begun treating Star Gates, their associated nodes, and large-scale space-time infrastructure as objects of direct research and strategic manipulation. 1614 2289
- Physically teleports approximately two thousand kilometers using an arrangement of metal stakes, a feat distinct from conventional Soul Body-only teleportation. 736
- Can transport his physical body without an established anchor, although such travel produces conspicuous disturbances and may leave him somewhat off target. 1118
- Uses his own Abyss Zone rules, the Tattered God Cape, and the External Neuron controlled through Dark Heavy Chains to dominate information-weaving and pierce the barrier between the Cloud Top World and Inner Earth. 2353
- Deploys an Illusory Nightmare Clone into the Boundary Curtain. The clone adapts to its environment and uses memories to perceive both sides of the barrier. 3133
Electromagnetic Manipulation and Exoskeleton Use
Ronan combines specialized equipment with electromagnetic extraordinary power.
- Built a headband based on Jin Tong’s electromagnetic power; prolonged use is limited by his physical strength. 589
- Uses exoskeleton armor for extreme speed and impact. 589
- Controls electromagnetic forces to land, hover, and defy gravity. 744
- Uses his inhuman physique to carry a 200-kilogram metal box one-handed. 736
- Can remotely activate and operate an empty exoskeleton through the External Neuron, using it as an independent material interface. 2358
- Can assemble and operate a Mechanic Support Platform from available military components, using it for repair, engineering, and frontline technical work. 1607
- Configures exoskeleton equipment around an Explosion Flow tactical approach, incorporating mounted-weapon capacity and external power integration. 2980 2984
- Can overclock a light exoskeleton’s power engine and fuse its external energy output with the energy-information circulation of his body. 2984
- Studies the Electromagnetic Division Universal Array Structure associated with Jin Tong's Spirit Light Seed for more than four months, enabling its application in violent electromagnetic environments. 701
- Develops personalized armor from the experimental Electromagnetic Vanguard Number One to a Perfect Body framework incorporating Bull Demon bone materials. 602 1400
- His early electromagnetic exoskeleton remains an experimental and weighted-training platform rather than a sustainable combat mode; he acknowledges that its speed and durability are insufficient for a direct confrontation with an Extraordinary Species such as Jin Tong. 589
Dream, Law, and Script-Based Techniques
Ronan increasingly uses dream states, Ceremonial Ancient Script, and law-oriented observation to alter the logical and symbolic conditions surrounding a target.
- Developed the Dream Entry Method, whose use causes major changes in the Mental Ocean and widespread fear due to its implications for personal autonomy. 1524
- Can enter a Lucid Dream state to align his consciousness with key points in an illusory or historical logic framework. 2233
- Uses the Gods’ Eye of the Law to perceive Law Hook Lines extending from living beings, objects, environments, and social systems. 2349
- Can reshape the perceived Material, Transition, and Law Layers into an information landscape organized through his own logic. 2327
- Uses the “I” character of the Overrun Divine Script as a core concept connecting Format Theory, selfhood, dream structures, and space-time. 1722 2879
- Applies Ceremonial Ancient Script and the Mirror of Appraisal to stabilize or activate high-level structures, including the Dynamic Time-Space Map and Abyss Illumination. 1912 2234
- Has used a Logic Boundary and Time-Space Bubble to defeat and seal Tu Ge within Gray Moon. 2234
- Achieves unity of body, speech, and intent when tracing and pronouncing the Ceremonial Ancient Script characters for “Datong,” producing effects associated with Great Comprehension and high-dimensional exchange despite remaining below the Law Deployment Absolute Barrier at that time. 1744
- Uses the Mirror of Appraisal to draw forth the See Me–Great Comprehension Contemplation Time-Space and enhance an already permanently consolidated Great Comprehension. 1912
- Reverse-traces the historical exchange between Jin Buhuan and a Fugitive of the Thirteenth District through the Balance of Truth, opening Old Jin's form-spirit and thought interfaces to match concealed information. 1920
- Recognizes Great Comprehension, Unranked Divine Power, Magneto-Optical Mica, Pure Observation, and the Life Starry Sky as related methods for observing and interfering with living beings, principally through the Transition Layer. 2341
- Trains to control the Tattered God Cape and its Law Hook Line without the External Neuron, both to purify his practice and to understand the Cloak app's essence. Improper control carries potentially catastrophic consequences. 2358
- His Dream Entry Method is not universally effective: Tu Ge's appearance interrupts his search through Water Tank's memories, revealing an unusually close linkage within their Symbiotic Ring. 2229
- Despite knowing the “I” character's form, sound, and meaning, he initially struggles to voice it fully and make its complete effect act upon reality. 2879
Observation and Analysis
Observation is Ronan’s principal method of growth. He extracts deep information from ordinary phenomena, feeds it back into his Soul Configuration, and uses the resulting insight to strengthen Soul Power. 209
- Analyzes combat structures and extraordinary-power flows in real time. 209
- Interprets form-spirit frameworks through drawings, diagrams, and virtual workspaces. 363 769
- Uses the Magneto-Optical Mica to perceive time, space, life, and matter from a new perspective. 1096
- Inspects configurations for flaws, though intense examination can destroy temporary manifestations such as his monocle. 800
- Uses the Eye Aperture Heart Lamp technique taught by Master Xiu alongside psychic sensing in combat. 301
- His aptitude for hand drawing, developed through years of sketching people and scenery, is fundamental to his ability to render invisible form-spirit phenomena into analyzable images. 14
- Uses Magneto-Optical Mica and the Gods’ Eye of the Law to observe distant star regions, identify cultivation techniques, and evaluate the consequences of large-scale conflicts. 2449
- Can distinguish a target’s physical enhancement, nervous-system structure, and other bodily modifications through Life Starry Sky observation, although range and available Soul Power constrain his precision. 474
- Understands that observation must account for larger compositions and structural relationships rather than becoming trapped in isolated details. 230
- Combines the Eye Aperture Heart Lamp with mental perception to analyze and predict an opponent's movement while maintaining improved bodily coordination. 299
- Uses the historical framework of History of All Nations at War to organize major time-space events and investigate Raven's origins. 1600
- Recognizes that genuine Gods' Eye of the Law users can perceive and respond to his remote observation far more effectively than immature practitioners, making such study dangerous. 2446
- Applies equipment-analysis interfaces to locate usable manufacturing materials across his global sensing range and identify their processing and assembly requirements. 1400
Life, Flesh, and Material Reconstruction
Ronan can apply form-spirit knowledge, Magnetic Light, and Lightning Fire to manipulate biological materials and restore physical structures.
- Creates low-configuration imitations of the Human-Faced Spider for reconnaissance and information gathering. 232 233
- Restores a human body from recovered flesh and organs with the assistance of Magnetic Light and Lightning Fire. 2224
- Extracts and stores biological materials such as Flesh Cores for later investigation and exchange. 2224
- Can preserve and use separated flesh associated with Backpack for covert movement, surveillance evasion, and biological support functions. 3006
- Uses biological samples and extraordinary-species materials in experimental fields and weapon-development projects. 1289 1753
- Investigates genetic modification as the next qualitative step in physical cultivation, using Magneto-Optical Mica, the Thunder Pool Experiment Field, and his own body as experimental subjects. 1218
- Uses Magneto-Optical Mica's fantasy-class magnetization, suturing, and Boundary Gate abilities to model and intervene in physical-spiritual structures. 1336

Story Role / Major Arcs
Confinement, Self-Portrait, and Awakening
While confined and troubled by an internal ghost-like presence, Ronan uses drawings and a self-portrait to investigate his condition rather than relying solely on meditation. His ability to perceive and draw invisible entities becomes one of the earliest expressions of his extraordinary potential. 13 14 28
Human-Faced Spider and Raven
Ronan becomes entangled in the conflict surrounding Raven and the Human-Faced Spider. He realizes that the Spider’s actions are extensions of his own system, projects his consciousness to find Raven, and ultimately becomes her primary protector and partner. 121 130 501
By identifying Raven as the altar's “unique victor,” he strengthens her projection within his Gestalt and uses its unique correspondence to search for her across Xia City. Her aura subsequently acts as a concealed Signal Tower for his remote observation. 129 130 131
Soul-Power Instability and Frost River Therapy
Rapid soul-power growth strains Ronan’s body. Bai Xinyan recommends Frost River Waterway therapy, while Ronan seeks ways to strengthen his physical capacity without worsening his condition. 171 260
His treatment includes Nutrient Capsule sessions and warnings against further Soul Power growth. At Frost River Reality, he uses temporary authorization to access the Frozen Star system, whose interface guides him from ordinary visual concentration into all-domain psychic perception. 161 171 173
Format Theory and Public Teaching
Ronan develops Configuration-based methods, creates the Water Condensation Ring, and gives influential public lectures on Cage Theory and effective extraordinary-power structures. 443 560 562
His earlier study of the Dripping Water Sword supplies the ring's framework and five auxiliary structures. The External Neuron's reconstruction of that framework produces the Dark Cloak breakthrough, allowing his projected Soul Body to interact directly with physical reality. 374 378 379
Cloud Top World Exploration
With Raven’s support, Ronan investigates the Cloud Top World, Mist Labyrinth, Ambush Circle, and his family’s laboratory. These explorations drive his study of Configuration, Coupling Theory, and space-time structures. 621 767 1112
Later, he activates Gear's atrium through Format Theory and combines Abyss Zone rules, the Tattered God Cape, and the External Neuron to direct the Cloud Top World's information-weaving. The barrier separating it from Inner Earth is pierced, while the revelations renew his determination to seek the people he encountered in the Relay Station and Testing Time-Space despite their potentially disastrous fate. 2352 2353
Gong Qi and the Blood Soul Temple
Ronan prepares an assassination and purification plan targeting Gong Qi, constructing equipment, designing the Blood Soul Temple, and assigning Raven a decisive role in the planned final strike. 590 603
He spends seven days assembling equipment with Standard Bearer's assistance, packing it into six airdrop crates of approximately two hundred kilograms each. Gear's laws then enable long-distance delivery to a volcanic region, at considerable Soul Power cost. 590 591
Inner World Influence
As his power grows, Ronan becomes a feared and highly visible figure. He hijacks an auction to stop the sale of his family’s laboratory, gains a reputation connected to soul-reaping character cards, and is treated as a dangerous central figure by researchers and Extraordinary Species alike. 1031 1080 1423
Two Extraordinary Species cards sold at the auction fund the Ronan and His Friends Foundation. Its subsequent census and office-building efforts extend his influence into organized social research and expose it to local political obstruction. 1118 1423
His reputation also includes “Luo Five Kills,” a nickname combining confirmed victories with captures, intimidation, and earlier combat records. The tally is explicitly described as somewhat inflated, with Gong Qi, Jin Tong, and Yabolun firmly confirmed and Nick only marginally qualifying. 1803
Altar Spiderweb and Public Revelation
Ronan publicly reveals his identity to the Inner World, triggering a global information storm and the vast expansion of the Altar Spiderweb. He confronts the “Mirror Image” constructed from collective perceptions of himself and incorporates the resulting pressure into his evolving self-model. 857 858 860
Family Legacy and the External Neuron
Ronan returns to the Tree Hollow with the Paged Notebook and Imitation Paper Soft Screen, where he receives further messages and requirements left by Luo Zhongheng. By completing a self-portrait that satisfies his own standards, he gains a clearer understanding of the Human Evolution Talent Wall and the knowledge system intended to surpass it. 1317 1319 1320
His efforts also include preserving photographs, obtaining Luo Qingwen's research materials from Professor Pan's Cloud Space, and arranging a birthday journey to the Wilderness to pay respects at his mother's grave and death site. His growing fame brings unwanted attention to surviving traces of the family's laboratories. 533 633 1111 1118
Great Lord-Level Research
Ronan investigates Liang Lu’s skull satellite, Abyss Illumination, the Rotten Bone Star, and the Dynamic Time-Space Map. He borrows Great Lord-level power to probe identifiers such as the Gate of Rebirth and Tattered God Cape. 1901 1912 1913
Hundun helps him query and connect the system's mechanisms, while his temporary Perfect Body contains the destructive energy and the Mirror of Appraisal enhances Great Comprehension. When the borrowed power exceeds safe control, he avoids forcing the experiment further, but successfully sends Great Comprehension through the Dynamic Time-Space Map's layered Veils. 1912 1913
Overrun Divine Script
Ronan studies the “I” character of the Overrun Divine Script, linking it to Format Theory, the Demon Rune, the Dream Theater, and his own identity. He begins to perceive fundamental meanings including Spacetime and Virtual Reality. 1722 2879
His exposure to the character includes family photographs, Raven's demonstrations, the External Neuron's Void Brain interface, irradiation from the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison, and instruction in Testing Time-Space later understood as Netherworld Highness's personal tutelage. These encounters do not initially grant complete mastery of its real-world expression. 2879
Dream, Cloak, and Self Investigation
Ronan investigates dream channels, the Cloak app, Dream Divine Abomination contamination, and the relationship between his own self-portraits and the symbolic systems presented by the External Neuron. These investigations deepen his understanding of the boundaries between self, dream, social identity, and spacetime. 2047 2268 2272 2347
He later suspects that the External Neuron may not originally have been intended for him. This concern contributes to his effort to control the Tattered God Cape independently and prepare for the consequences of losing or relinquishing the tool. 2358
Sky Abyss Military Service and Plane Six
In the Sky Abyss Empire's spacetime context, Ronan is specially recruited into the military despite still being considered a minor. During his service, he develops practical understanding of foreign form-spirit systems, Nation-Protecting Divine Symbols, and the Twenty-Seven Intentions. 1705 1734 In Plane Six, Grand Duke Zhiping confronts him over his origins and assigns him formal responsibility to High Priest Yuanhou and the Myriad Gods Hall; Ronan subsequently chooses to remain in Plane Six to pursue his own strategic objectives. 3148
During the Red Wheel Two Star Gate military test scenario, Ronan serves as a technical officer at Observation Station No. 7, restores communications infrastructure, coordinates with Xian Zhu, and assists in defending key facilities from Extraterritorial Species and Karmic Poison Living Entities. 1607 1608 1609
On Pupil Ring-28758 Asteroid, he becomes deeply involved in engineering, reconnaissance, production, and battlefield configuration work. His Clay Figure scouts, Space-Time Configuration knowledge, and expanding operational authority allow him to support military formations while pursuing his own research into paradigms, Evil Poison, and the Han Guang Star System’s history. 1667 1683 1700 1755
He questions why the Sky Abyss Mirror System has not provided a more seamless identity, despite its apparent capacity to alter records and memories. The possibility that no ordinary vessel could accommodate his special ability template becomes a recurring concern. 1706
Before Zhiping's later summons, Ronan passes Yuanhou's identification ritual as a pure Corrupted Blood Sect member. After the confrontation, he must make formal prayers at local Myriad Gods Halls. Although his request to leave the team is approved, communication with Wei Su Yi influences his decision to stay and target Zhiping's “Fake Muscle” above the Polar Domain. 3046 3148
Inner and Outer Earth
Ronan expands his attention beyond Inner Earth by establishing a second, incomplete Grand Coordinate System on Outer Earth. He observes the relationship between the two populations, reshapes information channels between them, and treats their changing boundary as a central strategic and philosophical problem. 2191 2327 2426
He investigates links among the Thirteenth District, Abandoned Mine Isolation Zone, Reclamation Corps, True Soul Order, and Li Wei. Aka Ge becomes an important lead, but Ronan places a Life Mark on Da Ruan instead to avoid alerting Aka Ge's more developed and heavily modified form-spirit framework. 2021
Starry Sky Remnant Game and Tu Ge
Ronan enters the Starry Sky Remnant Game through Dream Entry, aligns himself with the game’s logic and the positions of the All Heavens Gods, then constructs a Logic Boundary to overcome Tu Ge. He seals Tu Ge in a Time-Space Bubble held within Gray Moon. 2233 2234
Mist Palace and Law Hook Lines
Ronan manifests the Mist Palace and Thirteen Kingdoms system within the Abyss Zone, connects it to the Sun Wheel Absolute Prison, and uses the Gods’ Eye of the Law to observe and interfere with Law Hook Lines. This marks a major extension of his ability to apply Format Theory at the Law, Transition, and Material Layers. 2327 2349
Boundary Curtain Equipment and Rotor Training
In the Boundary Curtain region, Ronan acquires and configures a new exoskeleton setup, explores the Chaos Cannon’s disruptive effects, and prepares for Celestial Network Transfer-related assessment. He later trains Rotor Mercenary Group students through a Format Theory framework that imitates Ancient Gods and emphasizes Heavenly Human realm principles. 2980 2984 3006 3040
His first Chaos Cannon test destroys the firing range's rule force field and target, encouraging him to retain the expensive but probabilistic weapon. Wei Su Yi supports his acquisitions, while Zuo Qi advises on ammunition, control-oriented tactics, and more practical testing. 2983
Wei Su Yi subsequently integrates him into her close protection team as Initial Awakening Society activity and Myriad Gods Hall investigation increase the surrounding pressure. For Rotor training, he selects Ji Yi as his assistant and develops coordinated, sustainable support rather than the explosive methods associated with the Corrupted Blood Sect. 2998 3039 3040
His Illusory Nightmare Clone continues investigating the Boundary Curtain while he exercises greater restraint in dealing with the Great Monarchs and shipboard authority. 3133
Ha City and Long-Range Force Projection
During the Battle of Ha City, Yabolun's Revelation Seven Seals and Space Fault initially hold Ronan at a stalemate. Ronan then uses Magnetic Light and Lightning Fire to seize the will of two hundred million people, undermining the rules framework Yabolun has established through his rule over the city. 1818
His later long-range Blood Intent Ring Fortress test obliterates Algae Island, an Aberrant Nest that has troubled the Great River for years. The strike demonstrates a powerful alternative to close-range direct attack. 1818
Clone Cover and Dream Net Investigation
While maintaining the identity of a five-week-old clone, Ronan discusses Po Ran with Wei Su Yi and conceals his familiarity with the man's background. Wei Su Yi identifies Po Ran as a founding elder of the Initial Awakening Society and a former participant in the Han Guang Star System's struggles, explaining his longstanding acquaintance with Great Lord Luande. 3224
Their discussion turns to Po Ran's possible unique resources and his willingness to assist with tests of Dream Net's continued existence in the Qiankong Star System. Wei Su Yi considers him one of the likeliest people through whose efforts Dream Net might be recreated. 3224
