Background
Lu Chen is a transmigrator who lived six years as an overlooked and apparently ordinary prince before the Reversal System appeared. Knowing a disastrous future in advance, he resolves to take control of Great Qian, sweep the Eastern Cang Region, and become an invincible sovereign rather than allow the past to repeat itself 1.
His first major System mission requires him to make his mother, Consort Yuan, genuinely smile. After promising to protect her from anyone who would look down on her, he completes the mission and receives the Supreme Sword Body, causing terrifying Sword Intent to erupt from his body 3.
His rise rapidly changes his position in the imperial palace. He defeats Lu Ren, gains the Nine-Colored Spirit Root, shocks the capital during his physique test, and earns the Azure Emperor's attention through his talent, insight, and cultivation potential 4 5 7 11. The Azure Emperor later grants him broad palace access, resources, and military authority, eventually enfeoffing him as Saint King and Heavenly Dust Divine General 15 50.
Appearance
Lu Chen initially appears as a six-year-old child, though his cultivation, composure, and manner of speech repeatedly make others question his age 4 11. After spending nearly two years cultivating within the Yin-Yang Sun-Moon Spacetime Pot, his physical appearance develops into that of a young man despite far less time passing outside 236.
- Later stands over 1.8 meters tall 236 246.
- Commonly wears white robes after his physical maturation 236.
- Possesses Double Pupils, which can manifest with golden light 27 146.
- Can wear the azure, dragon-patterned Chaos Azure Dragon Armor 153.
- His Chaos Body, Supreme Bone, and other physiques can produce overwhelming visible phenomena when activated 103 112.
Personality
Lu Chen is ambitious, self-assured, and highly conscious of the advantages granted by his System. He often treats impossible rewards, powerful enemies, and dangerous inheritances as problems to be solved through preparation, force, or exploitation of a mission's wording 14 143 179.
Despite his ruthless treatment of hostile rivals and assassins, he is intensely protective of those he considers family, companions, or subordinates. His earliest promise is to protect Consort Yuan, and his later actions repeatedly prioritize Luo Li, Lu Xiao, Zhang Yanxin, and the Borderless faction 3 17 875 986.
He also retains a playful, mischievous streak. He teases friends, takes pride in dramatic displays of strength, and sometimes approaches System missions with childish schemes despite possessing mature strategic judgment 29 31 67.
Abilities & Skills
Reversal System
Lu Chen's primary source of rapid growth is the Reversal System, which issues missions based on altered future events and rewards him with physiques, cultivation methods, Divine Abilities, organizations, treasures, and summons.

Nine-Colored Spirit Root and Supreme Comprehension
His Nine-Colored Spirit Root is described as the limit of Heavenly Spirit Roots, granting extremely accelerated cultivation and the absence of ordinary bottlenecks 5. The Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart further gives him supreme comprehension, allowing him to rapidly study the Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Art 5 8.
- The spirit root carries potential to transcend heaven and earth 5.
- His comprehension lets him rapidly absorb cultivation methods, laws, and inheritances 8 146 344.
