Background / History

Su Chen is a transmigrator born with zero innate soul power. When Wolf Bandits attack his village, he activates a system that provides life simulations; his first simulation places him in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as Yu Chen, Yu Yuanzhen's son and Yu Xiaogang's twin brother. The simulation is broadcast across the continent through a celestial screen. 1

As Yu Chen, he is regarded as a fool because of his Absolute Rationality and is neglected by Yu Yuanzhen while Yu Xiaogang receives favor. He studies in the clan library, endures ridicule after awakening with zero innate soul power, and later develops theories distinguishing Natural Soul Power from Bloodline Soul Power. 7 8 16

After his martial soul shatters, Su Chen's simulated self survives and establishes a cultivation path independent of martial souls and soul rings. He leaves the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for Martial Soul Hall, where Qian Xunji grants him the Pope's Order, the status of Holy Son, and resources. 23 24 28

He later travels widely to study soul beasts, ecology, cultivation rules, immortal herbs, and Soul Tool technology. His work ultimately establishes an immortal cultivation system; ten thousand years after his departure, the Hall of the Holy Master venerates him as its founder. 79 87 88 125

Personality

Su Chen is consistently calm, analytical, and difficult to provoke. His Absolute Rationality leaves him outwardly detached even when insulted, deprived of resources, or threatened. 7 8 17

He approaches combat and cultivation as research problems, testing opponents, studying environmental restrictions, and revising his methods after each discovery. This pragmatism can make him emotionally distant, particularly in his relationships with Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong. 31 39 73 95

Despite his detached manner, he protects people in danger, saves Liu Erlong from a cultivation deviation, and intervenes when Shrek students bully Zhu Zhuqing. 150 154
