Background / History
About thirty years before the Federation’s arrival in the new Milky Way, Chen Yu transmigrated into the Human Federation of the Starry Universe and became its newly appointed Grand Marshal. At the time, the Federation descended from colonists who had survived aboard the Autumn Chrysanthemum, settled United Star, and built a unified regime after humanity’s departure from Earth. 1
He inherited command during a period when the Federation was surrounded by hostile civilizations and close to subjugation by a godlike power. In that crisis, Chen Yu awakened the Civilization Template System, leading the Federation’s counteroffensive and its rapid development through Psionics, genetic enhancement, and prosthetic augmentation. 1
The Federation exchanged its civilization’s ultimate fate for fifty years of accelerated development and star-sea hegemony. Chen Yu intended to answer the approaching deadline by erecting the Aether Phase Engine, an act that would make it possible to end the universe if activated. Before that plan could be completed, the entire Federation transmigrated again into the Super God Universe. 1
In the new universe, Chen Yu identified the Milky Way as comparatively weak and populated largely by pre-FTL civilizations. He directed the Federation’s conquest of the region, beginning with the Solar System and expanding into a galaxy-wide expedition. 1 5 12
Appearance
Chen Yu is a young man with deep-set eyes. He is first seen in a black-and-red military uniform, while later appearances note golden light in his eyes when he draws on or manifests his psionic authority. 1 18 24
- Black-and-red military uniform. 1
- Deep-set eyes. 1
- Golden light may appear in his eyes during moments of psionic perception or reflection. 18 24
Personality
Chen Yu is decisive, disciplined, and strategically focused. He treats the survival, expansion, and ascension of humanity as his overriding responsibility, rapidly making military and political decisions without allowing uncertainty to halt Federation plans. 5 18 25 47
His outlook is shaped by the Human Federation’s past wars and its collective xenophobia. He dismisses the moral authority claimed by civilizations such as the Angels and views alien civilizations primarily through the Federation’s interests; when collective hostility toward an alien race benefits human cohesion, he is willing to order its extermination without personal hesitation. 3 18
Despite this ruthlessness, Chen Yu is not careless. The Hunter’s emergence forces him to acknowledge a threat beyond the Federation’s prior expectations, prompting a layered defensive strategy, recalls of exposed assets, and an alliance with Cyberlex against the Purification Protocol. 24 25 38
He is increasingly burdened by his connection to the Federation’s collective will. While this link grants him authority over Federal citizens, it also subjects him to their unease, producing persistent palpitations and a growing sense that he is the civilization’s vessel rather than solely an individual. 18 46 48
Abilities & Skills
Psionic Authority
Chen Yu is the Human Federation’s most powerful Psionic. His psionic index has elevated him beyond ordinary human limits, granting him immense power and an existence described as eternal and undying. 18 36
- Can project his subjective will onto any Federal citizen regardless of distance. 18
- Can influence or exercise detailed mental control over connected Federation citizens. 18
- Uses the Federation-wide psionic connection to perceive and retrieve personnel across vast distances. 25
- Traversed macroscopic spacetime, broke through the Hunter’s gravitational blockade, and pulled the Gonggong back to the Milky Way. 25
- Observed the Hunter’s true form through a descent of his will into the Hou Shen Galaxy. 24
- The rescue of the Gonggong consumed nearly one-tenth of his psionic power. 25
Collective Civilization Will
Chen Yu serves as the anchor point and bearer of the Human Federation’s collective will. The connection strengthens both the Federation and its Psionic citizens, but imposes severe psychological pressure on him. 18
- The collective will can strengthen Federation cohesion and indirectly bless Psionic citizens. 18
- Chen Yu can use it to evaluate decisions affecting the Federation, including the Cyberlex alliance. 38
- The will influences his judgment and repeatedly urges him to delay the Aether Phase Engine. 18 19 46
- During the ten-year acceleration, he experienced the lives and development of Federation citizens across its territory, severely exhausting his mental energy. 48
Strategic Command
Chen Yu directs the Human Federation’s military expansion and responds personally to civilization-scale emergencies. 5 18 25
- Led the First Federal Fleet’s Solar System operation and ordered the Taotie Fleet’s total annihilation. 5
- Formulated the Galactic Grand Expedition, then delegated its execution to Federation officials. 18
- Ordered the interception of Morgana’s Demon One by manipulating Quantum Foam. 8
- Reorganized Federation strategy after the Hunter’s arrival, creating layered defenses around the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. 25
- Claimed Federation sovereignty over the Local Group and secured an alliance with Cyberlex. 37 38
- Initiated temporal acceleration when the Federation lacked sufficient time to prepare for the World Breakers and other threats. 47
Scientific and Technical Expertise
Chen Yu holds several technical honors within the Federation and personally oversees its most important megastructure project, the Aether Phase Engine. 18 46
- Retains exceptionally precise memories as a Psionic and can recall information stored in his mind with clarity. 36
- Recognized the Purification Protocol’s known activation condition: the emergence of a Level 30 Singularity capable of damaging cosmic structure. 36
- Assigned Xidra control of the Federation Research and Resource Departments to investigate the Zerg Queen and the Hunter. 34
- Continued directing the Aether Phase Engine’s construction even while coping with interference from the collective will. 18 46 48

Story Role / Major Arcs
Second Transmigration and Milky Way Conquest
Chen Yu discovers that the Human Federation has transmigrated into a different Milky Way, retaining only 500 star systems and losing contact with the rest of its former territory. Assessing the local civilizations as weak, he begins rebuilding Federation strategic control and launches the Galactic Grand Expedition. 1 5
He commands the First Federal Fleet in the Solar System, orders the Taotie Fleet annihilated, and begins the occupation of Earth. The subsequent campaign eliminates Earth Civilization, establishes Federation sovereignty over the Solar System, and turns Earth into a Federation outpost and communication hub. 5 12
Conflict with Angel, Demon, and Lieyang Civilizations
Chen Yu personally confronts the captured Angels Yan and Zhui, rejects their divine claims, and imposes permanent imprisonment pending compensation. His Federation later expands its hostility toward Angel Civilization and deploys Federation superweapons against the Angel Nebula. 3 25 32
He also orders the interception of Morgana’s Demon One after Earth’s resistance collapses, refusing to allow the Demon Legion to escape the Solar System. 8
Hunter Crisis
After the Gonggong becomes trapped near the Hou Shen Galaxy, Chen Yu witnesses the arrival of the Hunter, a super-quasar lifeform more than twenty light-years in diameter that extinguishes entire galaxies. He personally extracts the Gonggong from the Hunter’s gravitational blockade at major psionic cost. 24 25
Recognizing that the Federation is vulnerable to threats beyond its normal military superiority, Chen Yu recalls exposed forces, builds layered defenses, and orders further investigation into the Hunter’s connection to the Presolin Zerg. 25 34
Andromeda Alliance
Chen Yu investigates the mechanical war in the Andromeda Nebula and identifies the Purification Protocol as a potential response to a Level 30 Singularity. To prevent the conflict from reaching the Milky Way, he opens communication with Cyberlex. 35 36
Despite Cyberlex condemning the Federation’s treatment of alien species, Chen Yu refuses to renounce its path. He nevertheless signs a comprehensive alliance pact and commits the Gray Gu Storm fleet to support Cyberlex against the Purification Protocol. 37 38
Aether Phase Engine and Accelerated Development
While building the Aether Phase Engine, Chen Yu faces increasing interference from the civilization will connected to him. The arrival of the World Breakers and other threats convinces him that ordinary development cannot proceed quickly enough. 46 47
He activates the Spacetime Acceleration Protocol, granting the Federation ten years of accelerated growth. During this period, the Federation constructs thousands of Guixu dark-matter structures, expands its shipbuilding capacity, and completes the Aether Phase Engine’s main framework. 47 48
