Background / History

Chen Yuan was a Chen family collateral descendant, a disciple of Long Xiao Zhenren, and captain of the Special Operations Second Team. As a New Star-born martial artist, he looked down on the people of Ancestor Star as “natives” and treated their lives as expendable resources for raising North Sea’s martial-arts fortune. 52 71 183

He initially sought merit from Su Tu’s killing of a Xie Race member, only for Li Hu to prevent him from claiming credit. His resentment sharpened when Su Tu disrupted a plan in which Chen Yuan intended to sacrifice a local person to boost martial-arts luck. Chen Yuan tried to force Su Tu to kneel with mental power and martial intent, but Li Hu defeated him and compelled him to apologize. 30 70 71

After Su Tu’s public rise brought martial enthusiasm to North Sea without casualties, Chen Yuan lost both influence and opportunities. Seeking a route to retaliate, he bribed Director Wang with a fourth-tier technique for a training-camp instructor position and received first-sequence challenger authority through Director Lin’s intervention. 76 80

He used the training camp’s first assessment to set Su Tu against hundreds of martial artists, promising automatic advancement to anyone who defeated him. The apparent assessment was ultimately exposed as Lin Feiyang’s Mind Illusion Dream, leaving Chen Yuan humiliated and aware that he had been manipulated. 115 118

Following the death of Chen Daowen and Su Tu’s growing prominence, the Chen family expelled Chen Yuan, revoked his position, and prepared to erase his clan techniques and cultivation. Believing Su Tu’s death could restore his standing, Chen Yuan attacked him in public. Su Tu trapped him in a space where only physical combat was possible, extracted information on Xing Tian and the Chen family through Misdirection, then killed him. 181 184

Much later, Chen Yuan appeared as the leader of the Three Gods Sect and the Turbid World Divine Son. He had spent years reshaping the sect’s doctrine so that believers’ faith increasingly centered on his own conceptual existence rather than the Three Gods. 431 436 437

His stated aim was to exploit the conflict between the Three Gods and Great Extinction, devour the resulting power, and become a god capable of protecting humanity. After absorbing Bone Father and Blood Mother, he confronted Su Tu directly; Su Tu ultimately consumed and erased him with Great Extinction Power. 437 441

Personality

Chen Yuan was calculating, status-conscious, and deeply resentful. He valued merit, family standing, and personal advancement over the safety of others, regarding ordinary people as tools for political or martial gain. 52 71 80

He could restrain himself when confronting stronger forces, but this restraint was pragmatic rather than principled. His fear of Li Hu, Zhou Wuliang, and the Ten Heavens Martial Clan repeatedly checked his actions without changing his hostility toward Su Tu. 71 80 119

As leader of the Three Gods Sect, his ambition became far broader. He could endure for years, manipulate doctrine and faith, and sacrifice entire populations for godhood. He nevertheless retained an attachment to Liu Yingjiao and Chen Village, regarding her as the one person who should understand him. 437 441

Appearance

In his later appearance as the Three Gods Sect leader, Chen Yuan could present himself as an aging man with a cold, unfathomable demeanor; after his final scheme failed, he returned to a gentler-looking form that could be mistaken for a kind elder. 430 441

• In his faith-empowered state, his skin cracked as blood-red totems spread across his body and a scarlet eye appeared between his brows. 437
• He bore twisted patterns on his arms after receiving power from the Three Gods. 429
• His god-like state was surrounded by violent flesh-and-blood power and a blood-red halo. 437 438

Martial Bone

Chen Yuan possessed a Martial Bone that directly altered his physical body.

• Produced bone-like sand and gravel around his hands. 182

• Gradually attached his own conceptual existence to the Three Gods. 437
• Redirected roughly two-thirds of the sect’s faith toward himself. 437
• Controlled believers through altered faith and could draw their faith into his own body. 436 438

Turbid World and Three Gods Power

Chen Yuan integrated the power of the Turbid World and later absorbed the Three Gods’ remaining power.

• Claimed to have consumed all remaining concepts of the Divine Son, reaching demigod status. 437
• Absorbed Bone Father and Blood Mother after Su Tu defeated them. 438
• Could reconstruct his body after being dispersed by Su Tu’s attacks, so long as faith continued to sustain him. 438

Equipment / Items

• Fourth-tier technique: Xing Tian — Chen family-exclusive technique he handed to Su Tu during the sequence dispute. 106
• Mind Stabilizing Ring — Identified by Chen Yuan as the item that neutralized his initial mental-pressure attempt against Su Tu; it belonged to Su Tu, not Chen Yuan. 70
• Fourth-tier technique bribe — Used to secure a training-camp instructor position through Director Wang. 80

Relationships

• Su Tu — Primary enemy. Chen Yuan repeatedly targeted him for disrupting his plans and destroying his status; Su Tu killed him in their first documented confrontation and later erased his faith-based godhood. 71 181 183 438 441
• Li Hu — Rival North Sea garrison disciple and Su Tu’s protective senior brother. Li Hu repeatedly humiliated and defeated Chen Yuan for threatening Su Tu. 30 71
• Long Xiao Zhenren — Master. Chen Yuan sought his protection after humiliation, but Long Xiao shut him out after Zhou Wuliang’s warning. 73
• Chen Daowen — Clan brother and Chen family prodigy who investigated Su Tu and intended to handle him during the training camp. 182
• Liu Yingjiao / White Robe / Liu Ma — Childhood friend from Chen Village and senior Three Gods Sect figure. Chen Yuan considered her his last emotional anchor, while she despised his manipulation and atrocities. 436 437 441
• Bone Father and Blood Mother — Two of the Three Gods. Chen Yuan exploited their conflict with Great Extinction and eventually absorbed their power. 437 438

Story Role / Major Arcs

North Sea Martial-Arts Conflict

Chen Yuan entered the story as an opportunistic garrison martial artist who sought credit for Su Tu’s achievements and clashed with Li Hu. His attempt to sacrifice a local resident for martial-arts fortune made him a direct enemy of Su Tu and Li Hu. 30 69 73

Training Camp Manipulation

After gaining an instructor post, Chen Yuan tried to turn the selection assessment into a means of eliminating Su Tu. Lin Feiyang’s illusion instead exposed Chen Yuan’s arrogance, leaving him publicly humiliated. 80 115 118

Fall from the Chen Family

Chen Yuan’s dependence on Chen family status ended after Chen Daowen died and Su Tu’s influence grew. Expelled and facing the destruction of his cultivation, he made a final attempt on Su Tu’s life and was killed after revealing information about Xing Tian. 181 184

Three Gods Sect and Godhood Scheme

As Three Gods Sect leader, Chen Yuan transformed the sect into a machine for harvesting faith for himself. He planned to manipulate the Three Gods, Great Extinction, and Su Tu into mutual destruction, then claim the resulting power. 431 436 438

Final Defeat

Chen Yuan briefly achieved a state sustained by stolen faith and absorbed divine power, but Su Tu rejected his claim of being humanity’s god. After his defeat, Chen Yuan attempted to unleash Faith Poison as a final act of revenge; Su Tu erased both Chen Yuan and the Three Deviant Sect’s threat. 438 441

Trivia
