Background

Fang Ce was a mathematics PhD and a low-profile, strategy-focused player before rising into the first echelon of Titan: Genesis. As president of the Imperial Dynasty Guild, he brought a calculation-driven command style to large battles, rapidly parsing aggro ranges, projectile paths, healer recovery rates, and other battlefield variables after unlocking Cerebral Overclocking. 29

He later joined Chen Feng and Zhao Kuo in forming the Transcendental Alliance, intended to protect players in reality and coordinate the three major guilds’ activities. Imperial Dynasty assumed responsibility for intelligence and technology within the alliance. 37

Personality

Tian Ce is composed, analytical, and highly decisive under pressure. He treats battles as problems to be broken into variables, routes, enemy strengths, and achievable objectives rather than contests of brute force. 29 183

He is also pragmatic about risk. When facing threats beyond the team’s level, he redirects forces toward viable objectives, preserves critical personnel, and will approve high-risk sacrifices only when time, intelligence, or strategic necessity leaves no safer alternative. 201 270 303

Abilities & Skills

Tower of Mind

Tian Ce’s hidden Second Advancement transforms him from an individual Mind Hacker into a large-scale command node. The class was unlocked due to his unmatched contribution to commanding server-wide campaigns. 159

• Mind Network — links allied minds for rapid communication, shared commands, and synchronized tactical intent. 159 160
• Zero-latency coordination — network members can communicate without relying on conventional channels, visual contact, or audible speech. 159 160
• Shared perception — can distribute Psionic Vision data as a radar-like tactical map for allied units. 160 201
• Operational limit — Tian Ce severed the full network during the Aklay Neural Mistform incident to stop mentally induced false commands from spreading through the team. 279

Psionic Vision

Psionic Vision turns Tian Ce’s eyes into magic-energy organs capable of observing energy flows, magical circuits, and psionic reactions. 86

• Identifies the levels and positions of hostile combatants across vast battlefields. 201 203
• Reveals hidden magical activity, including Dark Spirit stealth techniques and formation structures. 203 269
• Can feed battlefield data directly into the Mind Network for allied tactical use. 160 183
• Overloads his brain when maintained for too long due to the volume of incoming information. 86

Cerebral Overclocking and Integrated Calculation

His Psionic Sequence talents enhance his logical thought and computational ability, allowing him to process combat conditions with exceptional speed. 29

• Cerebral Overclocking — improves thinking and calculation speed; after unlocking it, Tian Ce could interpret the battlefield as interlocking streams of usable data. 29
• Integrated Calculation — analyzes terrain, enemy movements, and allied capabilities, then transmits actionable data to Data Maniac for immediate tactical deduction. 183 267
• Used to identify routes for the Beast Driving Plan, directing native high-tier creatures toward Dark Spirit territory rather than engaging them directly. 242

Mind Hacker Techniques

Before his Second Advancement, Tian Ce operated as a Mind Hacker focused on crowd control, psychic disruption, and command support. 35 66

• Thought Stasis — briefly freezes an enemy’s mental activity, creating openings for allied attacks. 66
• Mind Pierce — delivers a concentrated psychic strike capable of interrupting enemy casting or immobilizing targets momentarily. 132 269
• His mental interference is especially useful against linked enemies and formation casters, though high-level targets can resist or limit its effects. 35

Energy Affinity

At Level 32, Tian Ce gained Energy Affinity, strengthening the output and coordination of allied mage formations. 71

• Functions as an energy-support hub during large-scale magical assaults. 71
• Complements his command role by improving the efficiency of the team’s backline firepower. 71

Relationships

• Vanguard Across the Realm / Chen Feng — Peak Seven teammate and frontline counterpart. Chen Feng trusts Tian Ce’s calculations and battlefield orders, while Tian Ce supported Chen Feng through his dangerous Tier Three breakthrough via the Mind Network. 183 310
• Data Maniac / Li Zihan — fellow psychic specialist and Tian Ce’s principal analytical partner. Tian Ce supplies shared perception and base data, while Data Maniac performs rapid deductions and consciousness-targeting attacks. 183 312
• Cloud Pomelo / Li You — Peak Seven teammate whose shields, healing, and Life Link support Tian Ce’s large-scale command operations. 268 312
• Thunder King / Lei Zhen, Brute Force Yields Miracles / Wang Daqiang, and Dragon Fighting in the Wild / Zhao Kuo — core frontline allies within Peak Seven; Tian Ce coordinates their distinct tanking, damage, and energy-control roles through the Mind Network. 160 309 312
• Star Spirit Race — military allies on Companion Star S-1. Tian Ce’s Beast Driving Plan initially alarmed Star Spirit officers because it deliberately redirected high-tier native beasts toward Dark Spirit territory. 242

Story Role / Major Arcs

Liver Campaign and Alliance Formation

Tian Ce led Imperial Dynasty’s forces during the battle for H-124, reaching Level 20 and using Cerebral Overclocking to turn the chaotic siege into a measurable, manageable battlefield. 29

He later helped establish the Transcendental Alliance with Dawn Guild and Dragon War Guild, addressing real-world threats against account holders while coordinating the major guilds’ resources. 37

Formation of Peak Seven

After reaching Level 40, Tian Ce unlocked Tower of Mind and brought Peak Seven’s combat coordination to a new level through telepathic communication and shared tactical awareness. 159 160

During the battle against Living Flame: Red Fish, he used Integrated Calculation and Psionic Vision to provide Data Maniac with the information needed to locate the Lord beneath the Magma Sea. 183

Companion Star S-1 Campaign

When the expedition entered Companion Star S-1, Tian Ce assessed the overwhelming power of the Star Spirit–Dark Spirit conflict and ordered players to divide into battle zones appropriate to their levels rather than interfere with the central high-tier war. 201

He later proposed the Beast Driving Plan and Protected Area Plan: lure high-tier native beasts toward the Dark Spirit heartland while preserving breeding populations and stable ecosystems for long-term sustainability. 242

Eternal Night Infiltration

Tian Ce led the team’s infiltration of the Dark Spirit sacrificial network, using prisoners and captured formation knowledge to reach the Silence Transfer Well. When the operation was exposed, he abandoned stealth and ordered a direct sacrificial assault to destroy the descent hub and obtain intelligence on the underground area. 267 270

Right Lung Lobe Operations

During the Lung Leaf campaign, Tian Ce directed hundreds of thousands of players through the Mind Network, splitting enemy formations and assigning Peak Seven to eliminate exposed weak points. 303

After Data Maniac discovered that the surrounding tissue was still necrotizing, Tian Ce immediately stopped the pursuit and redirected the force toward the dried-up blood vessels causing the deeper problem. 303

He also coordinated the defense of the Divine Body Weaver, assigning nearby players to protect its repair limbs while Peak Seven destroyed the lesion connections sustaining the monster counterattack. 307

Tier Three Lord First Kill

Tian Ce served as the central commander during the first kill of a Tier Three Lord-class Giant Flame Demon. He linked the battlefield through the Mind Network, converted Data Maniac’s discovery of seven regeneration lesions into coordinated orders, and assigned specialized forces to eliminate each support point. 312

Trivia

• Fang Ce continues to wear glasses despite his nearsightedness having been cured; he cracked the frames after Level 40 because the habit outlasted the need. 164
• His hidden class was awarded specifically because he ranked first server-wide in contribution to commanding large-scale campaigns. 159
