Background

Ai Chen was born into a lower branch of a Mengluoyi family descended from an ordinary Immortal. Despite its peripheral status, her branch controlled tens of thousands of life planets, providing her with excellent cultivation conditions. Her innate affinity for the Light and Time Laws drew the attention of her clan ancestor, who brought her immediate family into his Divine Kingdom for personal instruction. 159

Her family arranged for her to attempt the Virtual Universe Company’s Primal Secret Realm special assessment early. Although she failed the assessment, she met Yang Yu while waiting to participate; the two exchanged contact information and encouraged one another before entering the Trial Towers. 147 159

Appearance

Ai Chen is a beautiful Mengluoyi girl whose usual gentle, delicate appearance sharply contrasts with her combat presence. She has star-bright eyes, white wings, and a crystal set in her forehead. 147 203

• Often wears white robes, giving her an angelic appearance. 203 249
• Used a pink battle suit during the Genius Competition. 184 185
• Carries an oversized Light Sword that is disproportionate to her petite frame. 184 185
• Her expression can shift from sweet and demure to cold and murderous in battle. 184 185

Personality

Ai Chen is naturally gentle, introverted, and affectionate. Strict family management left her little personal time while growing up, and Yang Yu’s calm, cheerful manner quickly made her feel at ease. 147

Beneath this reserved exterior, she is highly competitive and strong-willed. After Yang Yu entered the Primal Secret Realm, she resolved to reach it herself regardless of how tedious cultivation became. 163 Her determination is especially apparent in combat: she relentlessly pursued first place in her World Zone and refused to let opponents who provoked her escape. 185

She also shows considerable trust in Yang Yu, choosing not to press him for secrets when she recognized that revealing them could endanger him. 256

Abilities & Skills

Light and Time Law Comprehension

Ai Chen displayed talent in both the Light and Time Origin Laws from an early age, developing a combat style based on extreme speed, precise sword strikes, and temporal changes. 159 185

• Effortlessly killed a Dark Fire Tribe genius who had touched the Fire Origin Law. 185
• Can release hundreds of sword-light slashes while moving through enemy formations. 185
• Combines her Light Domain, movement technique, and temporal fluctuations to evade concentrated attacks. 185
• Her soul attacks are weaker than her material attacks; she could not kill a Time Law–attuned Shi Yan Beast with a soul attack alone. 257

Law Secret Pattern Talent

During the Cloud Palace mission, Ai Chen spent months studying the Light Law Fountain’s secret patterns and proved to possess unusual aptitude for Secret Pattern diagrams. 259 260

Nine-Tailed Fox Clone

Yang Yu obtained a World Lord Peak Nine-Tailed Fox-like Special Life and secured the Dream Flower Clone Technique for Ai Chen. She later transferred her consciousness into the clone. 330 332

• The clone possesses a gene level one thousand times higher than normal, significantly increasing her cultivation speed. 333
• Inherited the Nine-Tails Life-Preserving Art. 333
• Can sever a tail to create an energy barrier; opponents more than two levels above the user’s strength are required to break it. 333

• Supreme Treasure set — acquired by her King Limit period; raises her combat power to the level of a High Venerable. 372

Relationships

He protected her during the Cloud Palace mission, helped tailor Time Law sword techniques for her, and supported her breakthroughs and clone acquisition. 147 159 252 261 322 330
• Light Shadow King — Ai Chen’s master, a female King-level expert whose Light and Time Law path suits Ai Chen’s own cultivation. 250
• Ai Chen’s ancestor — An ordinary Immortal of the Mengluoyi Race who recognized her talent, arranged her early special assessment, and personally guided her initial cultivation. 159
