Background / History

Lin Zichen transmigrated into a newborn body on a mutated Earth, where humanity survives against Exotic Beasts through Gene Fusion and mechanical modification. He awakened Use-Disuse Evolution, a Biological Attribute that grants growth through repeated activity. He concealed much of his abnormal development from his parents, secretly training from infancy and rapidly mastering walking, running, jumping, speech, and strength exercises. 1 2

By age three, he could lift 40 kg with one hand, though his Biological Rank remained only Ordinary Tier 1. His drive to train became increasingly tied to his desire for security as reports of rat abnormalities and the Rat God Cult made him distrust public protection. 3 57

He attended Rainbow Kindergarten alongside his next-door neighbor Shen Qinghan. After intimidating children who bullied her, he unlocked the title Kindergarten King of Kids and received the Survival of the Fittest attribute. His reading habit later earned him Heavenly Human Wisdom Root. 6

Lin joined the school Martial Arts Team under Coach Guo Xiangyuan, where he reproduced techniques after a single demonstration and quickly surpassed older members. He later won city-level martial arts competitions, entered Shanhai University, and chose the Pure-Blood Human Path rather than Gene Fusion or mechanical modification. 28 86 106

Liu Chuanwu recruited him into the Heavenly Human Pavilion and taught him the Blood Tempering Technique. Lin's hidden progress far exceeded what he disclosed: he completed Skin Tempering during summer break, concealed his true rank with Natural Camouflage, and eventually revealed that he had reached Ordinary Tier 9 while advancing through successive body tempering stages. 106 116 136

After entering the Origin Land, Lin became part of an Exotic Human Tier genius squad. His ability to devour Life Origin and acquire Biological Attributes allowed his growth to accelerate dramatically, while his connection to the Abyss became an unresolved explanation for his exceptional constitution. His parents' dreams included a stone tablet bearing the words “Son of the Abyss.” 226 267 271

Personality

Lin is intensely pragmatic about strength. He trains constantly, pursues profitable competitions and evolutionary resources, and considers personal power necessary to protect himself, Shen Qinghan, and his parents. He is willing to conceal his true abilities when exposure would attract danger. 2 57 116 136

He is generally polite and restrained in ordinary interactions, but reacts harshly to provocation, threats, or schemes against those he cares about. He has defeated challengers without mercy when he considers it necessary to establish deterrence. 74 123 246

Despite his exceptional confidence, he remains observant and strategic. He feigned weakness to kill an Advanced Tier 6 opponent while only at Ordinary Tier 9, and he frequently evaluates the limits and risks of his own powers. 180 320
