• Chen Changsheng traveled to San Francisco, checked into a hotel, connected his Biological Computer to the network, and had Red Queen settle his new identity.

Chen Changsheng built the Umbrella Corporation and identified the world as the Godzilla universe after the Monarch Organization contacted him. He rejected Monarch’s secrecy, assembled resources to pursue the Titans, and traveled to the Philippines to investigate Godzilla’s fossil.

• Chen Changsheng used Red Queen to obtain money and expanded the Umbrella Corporation into a major company while studying Pioneer biology and spatial technology.
• The Monarch Organization invited Chen Changsheng to join, and he recognized the Godzilla world after recalling the MUTO cocoon in Japan.
• Chen Changsheng refused to cooperate with Monarch and traced the MUTOs’ discovery to a sealed mine in the Philippines.
• Chen Changsheng organized biological, mechanical, energy, and security departments within Umbrella before traveling to the Philippines.
• Chen Changsheng entered the mine where Godzilla’s fossil had been found, while other visitors mistook its enormous skeleton for a dinosaur fossil.

Chen Changsheng found the female MUTO at the Yucca Mountain Base and let it grow by feeding on nuclear waste, keeping it from consuming the stored nuclear weapons. After ten years of Umbrella Corporation’s expansion, he waited at its San Francisco headquarters for a Monarch Organization representative, as the group sought his support.

• Predators attacked the conspicuous pair, but King Kong’s armor and warhammer protected them as Chen Changsheng sampled prehistoric creatures.

Chen Changsheng and King Kong discovered that humans had begun exploring and occupying the Hollow Earth, then traveled to King Kong’s ancestral home. After opening the cavern and fighting off Giant-toothed Bats, Chen Changsheng sensed a sudden danger and dodged away.

• Chen Changsheng spotted a crashed Umbrella Corporation drone and learned from its logs that Monarch Organization and Umbrella Corporation had established a Hollow Earth base and launched a large exploration force.
• Using the drone’s map, Chen Changsheng took King Kong to his ancestral home beneath a mountain where gravity weakened and enormous stones and vines floated in the air.
• King Kong pushed open the cavern’s stone gate, revealing ancient remains, a Godzilla totem, and a huge battle-axe made from Godzilla’s dorsal fin.
• Giant-toothed Bats attacked the pair, and Chen Changsheng fought them while King Kong drove the rest from the cavern.
• After the battle-axe lost its energy, Chen Changsheng sensed danger, rolled away, and sprinted from his position as sonic booms erupted around him.

Chen Changsheng watched King Kong fight Godzilla, then flew toward the Pacific to summon the Insect God. Meanwhile, Emma Russell prepared to awaken Ghidorah at Monarch’s Antarctic base as part of the terrorists’ extinction plan.

• Godzilla’s Atomic Breath struck King Kong’s axe, and King Kong took up the glowing weapon before charging toward the surface to fight Godzilla.
• Chen Changsheng followed King Kong out of the underground passage and found him battling a weakened Godzilla among several gathered Titan beasts.
• Chen Changsheng left for the Pacific Ocean to retrieve the Insect God from the Precursors’ world.
• At Monarch’s Antarctic Number Zero Base, Emma Russell prepared to awaken Ghidorah after helping terrorists awaken fourteen Titan beasts.
