Background / History

In humanity's early era, the Original Ancestor rose after the Mother Ancestor had borne the burden of protecting a young and unremarkable human race. He became humanity's first pinnacle powerhouse and the figure credited with leading its rise into a peak race. 23 25

At some point, he was suppressed by the Primal Universe's will. He considers himself a “living corpse,” and even releasing a sliver of consciousness is taxing under that suppression. His continued existence remains concealed because a public return could destabilize both his disciples and the wider human race. 22 25 27

His signature legacy is the Virtual Universe, a secret technique capable of enduring until the Primal Universe extinguishes so long as he survives. Through it, he patrols for alien spies and monitors alien powerhouses. 22 25

Appearance

The Original Ancestor manifests as a young-looking, handsome old man, usually composed and accompanied by a tea set. 22 25

• Calm smile and an unhurried manner. 22
• Frequently appears seated with tea in virtual spaces. 25 33
• His presence can impose immense pressure on weaker cultivators. 25

Personality

The Original Ancestor is restrained, perceptive, and deeply protective of humanity's long-term future. He avoids revealing himself publicly not from indifference, but because he believes his appearance would create more harm than benefit. 22

He is also wry and teasing around Chen Qing, often responding to Chen's provocations with dry sarcasm. Despite this, he offers practical guidance, intervenes to protect Chen Qing's companions, and takes genuine interest in their development. 23 25 33

His suppressed state and memories of humanity's early struggles leave him prone to quiet melancholy, particularly when recalling the Mother Ancestor and the predecessors forgotten by later generations. 23

Abilities & Skills

Virtual Universe

The Original Ancestor created the Virtual Universe as a personal secret technique.

• Can maintain the Virtual Universe as long as he remains alive. 22
• Uses it to patrol for alien spies and observe alien powerhouse activity. 25
• Can project consciousness into Chen Qing's private plane, which is positioned beside him in the Origin Land. 22
• Projection is normally exhausting due to the Primal Universe's suppression. 22
• Chen Qing's private plane is an exception, where the Primal Universe's will does not suppress him. 22

Willpower and Soul Techniques

His cultivation is limited to the True God level, but his will remains extraordinarily advanced.

• Reached the True God limit in will under the Primal Universe's suppression. 27
• Made a further advance in Void True God-level will after receiving Chen Qing's insight. 27
• His Virtual Universe secret technique had vaguely reached the eleventh rank. 27
• Quickly identified the soul-strength requirement behind Chen Qing's breakthrough to a strongest secret technique. 69
