Background / History

Chen Ming is a transmigrator who awakened on Tianluo Planet during the Douluo IV era. His martial soul appeared to be a grass-topped dirt block, but its test produced Innate Full Soul Power. The Spirit Pagoda recruited him despite uncertainty over whether a soil-type martial soul was worth cultivating. 1 2

His family could only afford roughly half a year of food and living expenses, a serious concern given his extraordinary appetite. He addressed this by anonymously writing the popular webnovel Douluo Firmament while attending Tiandou Technology Academy. 2

The Grass Block proved to be the entrance to My World, a game-like dimension with moddable systems, monsters, crafting, inventory storage, and a visible skill-growth interface. Chen Ming used it to obtain resources, train, hunt spirit beasts, and acquire soul rings away from public scrutiny. 1 3 4

As his resources and influence grew, he founded the Chen-Dong Great Emperor Sect, recruited powerful NPCs and allies, built god-level defensive forces, and became a central figure in conflicts involving the Douluo world, the Overworld, and multiple God Realm maps. 121 129

Appearance

Chen Ming’s ordinary male appearance includes black hair and black eyes. His martial souls grant him an unusually refined, striking appearance; when using his alternate form, he becomes a silver-haired, purple-eyed figure often mistaken for a girl. 1 2 4 8

• In his silver-haired form, his hair can reach his waist. 4
• His female form is shorter, standing around 1.7 meters, with silver-white hair and purple eyes. 146
• His appearance and martial-soul transformations attracted considerable attention from students at Tiandou Technology Academy and Shrek Academy. 5 190
• He can alter his apparent age and physique through reincarnation-related methods. 295

Personality

Chen Ming is pragmatic, resourceful, and intensely growth-oriented. After discovering My World, he immediately began grinding skills, exploiting its crafting systems, and securing resources that would let him survive independently. He is willing to spend freely when useful, but he also regards many rare cultivation resources as disposable surplus. 1 2 198 206

He initially prefers to stay inconspicuous, hiding his rapid advancement, multiple martial souls, and true soul-ring configuration to avoid being exploited by larger powers. His restraint is selective: when challenged, he is confident, theatrical, and often humiliates opponents with unconventional tactics. 2 4 6 16 32

Despite his teasing and occasional ruthlessness toward enemies, Chen Ming invests heavily in the people under his protection. He levels sect members, purchases cultivation resources for friends, helps allies resolve their personal trials, and provides instruction in Battle Armor production. 122 140 178 198

Golden Dragon King Martial Soul

The Golden Dragon King martial soul supplies Chen Ming’s extreme physical strength and combat attributes.

• His physical strength was enough to effortlessly lift Huo Tian, a dragon-type Beast Spirit Master, with one hand. 3
• Golden Dragon Body is an augmentation skill obtained from a thousand-year Golden Dragon. 3
• Golden Dragon Overlord Domain inherited the innate domain and physical attributes of a Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff. 121

Chen Ming can combine the power of his martial souls into divine fusion abilities. By Chapter 149, he had reincarnated fifty times and possessed a divine-power reserve described as exceeding that of a God King. 149

• He wielded the powers of Creation, Destruction, Life, and Annihilation to form a longbow and destroy a Black Hole with a single arrow. 312
