Background

Chu An was the commander of the Capital Military Region's Hua An Project. His stated highest genetic directive was preserving Chinese civilization rather than any particular state or institution. 214 216

Before the Doomsday outbreak, he encountered a refugee from the Higher Human world in the Secret Realm and learned that other worlds were also suffering Doomsday disasters. Three days before the outbreak, he noticed Lin An behaving abnormally and went to Lin Jiang to investigate, initially suspecting Xenomorph control. The outbreak trapped him in Baiyang Town instead. 1329

During the Ghost Infant incident, Chu An attempted to stop the entity by sewing its head back onto its body. The attempt gave the Ghost Infant intelligence and contributed to the camp's fall. To survive, he replaced his internal organs with those of the Female Corpse, acquiring partial spiritual-body traits, then used Ghost Infant heads as experimental space-teleportation arrays. 212

He later approached Lin An, identifying him as a potential “cheater” capable of opposing the Doomsday Game's creator. Chu An joined Lin An's team, provided the S-Rank item [Causality Sequence], and began directing research, resource acquisition, and long-term preparations around Lin An's growth. 213 214 237

Appearance

Chu An is a pale, bespectacled man with a restrained military bearing. His normally composed appearance deteriorated severely while confronting Wu Qing, as the repeated use of his ability consumed his life force. 1326 1435

• Usually wears eyeglasses and frequently adjusts them while thinking or speaking. 449 1329
• Maintains an impassive, “poker-face” expression even in extraordinary circumstances. 954
• His black hair developed white streaks during his prolonged confrontation with Wu Qing. 1351 1435
• Appeared physically frail and near death after repeated memory-based attacks on Wu Qing. 1435 1436

Personality

Chu An is defined by extreme rationality, emotional restraint, and a willingness to treat people—including himself—as resources in a larger survival plan. Lin An repeatedly compares him to a machine or artificial intelligence because he appears to have few personal desires, fears, or attachments. 216 303

His commitment is centered on Lin An's survival and the continuation of human civilization. He considers Lin An uniquely indispensable, while openly stating that anyone else in Dragon An can be sacrificed if necessary. 214 935

Chu An habitually withholds information, manipulates circumstances, and leaves clues rather than offering direct answers. This makes him indispensable to Lin An while also making him a persistent source of distrust and fear. 449 605 841

Abilities & Skills

Information Detection

Chu An possesses a detection Talent capable of perceiving information that others have not disclosed.

• Can identify Lin An's sealed equipment and recognize items stored inside the Doomsday Ring. 213 233
• Uses observed details, intelligence gathering, and deduction to reconstruct events and predict threats. 450 953
• Operates a monitoring program that collects real-time information around Lin An to anticipate emergencies. 953

Memory Reading and Modification

Chu An can read and alter memories, though he describes modification as difficult and conditional.

• Reads memories and concealed personal information. 213 449
• Modified memories must have a reasonable explanation and corresponding conditions to remain stable. 449
• Can conceal his existence or arrangements from alternate consciousnesses by altering available memories. 449 458
• Used Zhang Tie's corpse in the Amoeba world as a proxy body for communication and action. 993 1110

Rule of Forgetting

Chu An can command concepts, effects, and memories to be “forgotten,” allowing him to negate otherwise overwhelming attacks.

• Nullified Wu Qing's Rule of Destruction by successively making its components—matter decomposition, chain reaction, the speed-of-light constant, and the attack itself—“forget.” 1350
• Reset Wu Qing's memory and forced him to repeat actions during their confrontation. 1351
• Can repeatedly lock onto hostile intent, but constant probing and forced responses rapidly drain his strength. 1435
• The ability consumes life force; extended use left him physically exhausted and close to death. 1351 1435 1436

Space-Time Manipulation

Chu An has demonstrated the ability to interact with spatial anomalies.

• Escaped from an Instance Dungeon through a space-time crack despite appearing to possess only First Order strength. 1326
• Sealed a spatial rift on Fengming Road with a prop obtained through Klein. 1263
• Experimented with Ghost Infant heads as space-teleportation arrays after gaining partial spiritual-body traits. 212

Scientific Research and Engineering

Chu An combines supernatural knowledge with military engineering and large-scale infrastructure planning.

• Explained methods for creating self-made skills by engraving mental-power “code” into weapons to create artificial sword souls. 217
• Identified and evaluated experimental weapons such as Blood Annihilation, a Class A high-frequency oscillating longsword. 233
• Developed the Amoeba Protoplasm to improve Lin An's emotion-absorption Talent across distances. 552 994
• Designed the Spiritual Energy Nuclear Bomb and explained its role in creating Xuan Haicheng's Einstein Condensate state. 935 936
• Planned satellite launches, Starlink intelligence collection, orbital surveillance, and satellite-based Spiritual Energy Nuclear Bomb deployment. 1129 1130 1352

Strategic Planning

Chu An's primary strength is his ability to model possibilities and construct layered plans around long-term objectives.

• Orchestrated the Wangjiang Military Region infiltration through Gao Yan's brainwashing and Fan Bing's impersonation abilities. 402 404
• Proposed mass Awakening methods using Intermediate Awakening Potions, Spiritual Energy Towers, and attribute-threshold breakthroughs. 455
• Turned the stalled Amoeba Instance Dungeon into a potential food-producing “granary.” 841
• Planned the Surface Divine Kingdom, using believers in the Amoeba world to supply Lin An with continuous emotional Strength. 994
• Laid a prolonged trap against Lin An's Second Will, provoking the Second Will into realizing too late that it had already entered a dead end. 1263 1264

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• [Causality Sequence] — S-Rank item acquired through the Secret Realm and later given to Lin An. 214 663
• Female Corpse organs — Replaced Chu An's original internal organs, granting him partial spiritual-body properties. 212
• Ghost Infant heads — Used as experimental components for space-teleportation arrays. 212
• Amoeba Protoplasm — Developed to extend Lin An's emotional absorption across worlds and distances. 552 994
• Spiritual Energy Nuclear Bomb — Experimental weapon tested against a Third Order threat; its detonation transformed Xuan Haicheng into an Einstein Condensate. 922 935
• Satellite and Starlink network — Planned as an intelligence, early-warning, communications, and potential orbital-weapons platform. 1129 1130

Relationships

• Lin An — Ally, primary subject of the Kindling Project, and the person Chu An considers humanity's central hope. Chu An monitored him before Doomsday, engineered opportunities for his growth, and repeatedly concealed plans “for his own good.” 214 449 1329
• Zhang Tie — Research subject and occasional proxy body. Chu An proposed using repeated weapons testing to develop Zhang Tie's defensive Talent; Zhang Tie later rescued him after the confrontation with Wu Qing. 499 993 1436
• Mo Ling — Subject of several of Chu An's plans involving the Ghost Infant, rebirth, Amoeba Protoplasm, and separation from the Ghost Infant. Her fear and distrust of him increase as his hidden arrangements are exposed. 216 994 1324
• Klein — Transactional partner in the Amoeba world's Temple society. Chu An traded a Spiritual Energy Mother Seed for food and worked with Klein on resource and spatial-rift matters. 954 1263
• Second Will — Mutual enemies. Chu An manipulated events to weaken or eliminate the Second Will, while the Second Will repeatedly warned Lin An that Chu An was using him as a pawn. 732 995 1264
• Wu Qing — Xenomorph Emperor adversary. Chu An stalled him through the Rule of Forgetting and threatened global destruction to force the Xenomorphs into negotiation. 1350 1351 1353
• Xuan Haicheng — Collaborator in Chu An's satellite program. Chu An planned to send the Einstein Condensate-form Xuan Haicheng into space to investigate the Space Station. 1129 1130

Story Role / Major Arcs

Joining Lin An's Team

Chu An enters Lin An's orbit as the Hua An Project's representative, reveals knowledge of Lin An's sealed equipment and anomalous encounters, and identifies Lin An as a possible means to challenge the Doomsday Game. 212 213 214

Dragon An's Strategist and Research Director

He transforms Dragon An's resources into military capability: acquiring experimental weapons, explaining self-created skills, annexing or infiltrating hostile military forces, and devising ways to mass-produce Awakeners. 217 233 402 455

Amoeba and the Surface Divine Kingdom

Chu An exploits the Amoeba Instance Dungeon for multiple purposes: emotion-transmission research, Mo Ling's separation from the Ghost Infant, food production, Zhang Tie's resurrection, and the construction of a believer society that strengthens Lin An from afar. 841 994

Global Infrastructure Plans

His ambitions expand from Dragon An's survival to global intelligence and deterrence. He develops satellite plans, seeks Starlink control, creates a simplified launch system, and positions orbital weapons for strategic leverage. 1129 1130

Xenomorph Negotiation

When the Xenomorph Emperor advances on Dragon An, Chu An confronts him alone. He negates Rule attacks, resets memories, deploys a global self-destruction threat through radioactive Starlink satellites and Yellowstone-targeting weapons, and buys time for Lin An's growth. 1350 1351 1352 1353

Hibernation

The prolonged confrontation with Wu Qing exhausts Chu An's life force. After collapsing, he enters a hibernation-like state with minimal bodily and brain activity, leaving Dragon An without its chief planner while Lin An continues pursuing the broader truth of Doomsday. 1435 1436 1604

Notable Quotes

“In my genetic settings, the highest goal is to protect China's civilization.” 214

“In the entire Dragon An, apart from Lin An, anyone can die, anyone can be sacrificed.” 935

“Forgetting, Matter Decomposition. Forgetting, Chain Reaction. Forgetting, Speed of Light Constant. Forgetting, Destruction Attack!!” 1350

Trivia

• Chu An frequently eats chocolate or other high-calorie snacks while discussing plans, theories, or dangerous experiments. 216 217
• He regards Zhang Tie's snacks as junk food even while controlling Zhang Tie's body remotely. 994
• Gao Tian later recalls that Chu An left behind a handbook concerning Dragon An's future political order and the nature of faith. 1866 1868
