Physical Description

Chen Lie is a young man who, despite his exceptional martial arts abilities and rapid progress, maintains a humble and unassuming demeanor 139. He is described as having a calm and composed presence 118. His appearance is generally unremarkable, allowing him to often keep his true capabilities hidden from those around him 26 139. Although he was reborn as a teenager, he is nineteen by the time he attends Starry Sky University 1 608.

His body has undergone repeated transformations through the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, sixteen blood temperings, Pure Yang Precious Blood, and Defying Fate and Changing Destiny. Its physical strength and endurance are comparable to those of a juvenile Starry Sky Behemoth, allowing him to endure attacks and consume resources that would overwhelm ordinary cultivators 541 620.

Personality

• Indifference to Favor or Humiliation: Chen Lie shows no joy or sorrow after achieving a perfect score on the elite student assessment, walking off the stage expressionless — a display of emotional restraint that an instructor notes as being truly "indifferent to favor or humiliation." 23
• Calm and Composed Demeanor: He maintains his composure in a variety of situations, from being embarrassed by Wang Hui’s revelation of his past feelings for Lu Qingchan to meeting the Provincial Governor of Dongchuan. 118 157
• Maturity and Restraint: Rather than being drawn into unnecessary conflicts, Chen Lie handles confrontations calmly and assertively, demonstrating growth and maturity, as seen when he easily subdues Xie Bing at the class reunion. 152
• Humility and Self-Awareness: He declines Lu Qidong’s matchmaking efforts by citing the "difference between immortals and mortals," and reflects that his past self would have naively trusted Zhao Jinglan — showing a clear-eyed awareness of his own place and the dangers of power. 83 19
• Independence: Chen Lie politely declines Luo Zhixun’s offer to help him enter the Provincial Youth Genius Group early, preferring to rely on his own efforts. 140
• Consideration for Others: In the cafeteria, he shows understanding and consideration for the girl with the high ponytail who wants to return his points, demonstrating empathy even in a competitive environment. 140
• Focus on Martial Cultivation over Social Graces: He discards Zhao Jinglan’s contact card without a second thought, telling Li Xianyu that "mundane distractions are best avoided" and prioritizing training over building connections. 19
• Generosity: After winning the Three-Province Martial Tournament, he shares his Blood Qi Circulation Method with Ji Lingxuan, displaying a willingness to help talented peers. 224
• Reserved and Unassuming: Among his relatives, Chen Lie appears ordinary and never boasts about his rapid Blood Qi surge or his status as a Genius Training Camp student, leading Chen Ying to question why he hides his talents. 83 139
• Arrogance in Specific Contexts: When Ji Lingxuan asks him to point out deficiencies in her Martial Way, he flatly states, "My Martial Way has no deficiencies" — a claim that others find arrogant. 178
• Emotional Restraint: He shows no excitement at passing the elite assessment and remains indifferent when Lu Qingyun expresses resentment toward him, refusing to be goaded. 23 224
• Strategic Caution: Chen Lie understands the potential danger of associating with powerful figures like Zhao Jinglan, explaining to Li Xianyu that if he had naively treated her as a kind older sister, "by the next day, he might not even know how he had died." 19
• Composure Under Pressure: He remains calm and confident when meeting the Provincial Governor, and when Xie Bing starts a confrontation at the banquet, he handles it without losing his cool. 157 152
• Pride in His Abilities: When challenged about his confidence in deciphering the Interstellar Military Fist, he insists, "I do have this certainty, I’m not bragging" — a quiet but firm pride in his divine sense talent. 139
• Indifference to Others' Opinions: He does not care about classmates' chatter after his elite assessment or about neighbors' perceptions of his martial progress, simply walking away without engaging. 23 34
• Unyielding Ambition: Despite starting from Blue Star, a comparatively barren world, Chen Lie refuses to accept a lesser position among Starry Sky University’s elite students and declares that his goal in the New Student Martial Arts Grand Competition is first place in the entire university. 603
• Strategic Concealment: He deliberately conceals his cultivation realm and many of his trump cards, allowing opponents to underestimate him before revealing only as much as the situation requires. 582 607 620
• Loyalty and Responsibility: He uses his influence to help Wang Hui obtain an opportunity to study in the Outer Stars, secures improved treatment for Feng Shuangshuang, Wu Qianqian, and Lu Qingchan, and attempts to compensate Meng Qian after damaging her saber. 393 500 592
• Confidence Before Elites: At Yan Zhiyun’s gathering, Chen Lie refuses to be intimidated by the backgrounds, rankings, and superior resources of Canglong Star’s elite younger generation. 604 609

Background

In his previous life, Chen Lie was a Ninth-Rank Grandmaster who, after being hunted by powerful enemies, fled Blue Star and struggled for over fifty years in the starry sky, eventually reaching the realm of a Ninth-Rank Grandmaster—a top-tier powerhouse on Blue Star but considered a bottom-feeder in the advanced martial civilization of Taia Star Province 1. He served as a deacon in the Scripture Library of the Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy, organizing martial arts classics and absorbing martial knowledge from the Central Galactic Empire that was millions of years ahead of Blue Star 2. At the age of twenty-three in that past life, his family suffered a massive tragedy: both his parents and his younger sister perished in an upheaval 1. Now, upon opening his eyes, he has been reborn as a teenager on Blue Star, fifty years before his original timeline—fifty years before Blue Star would be destroyed in a beast tide 1. Armed with the memories and insights of his previous life, Chen Lie is determined to change his fate and surpass his previous limits.

• Receives a visit from Wang Peixian of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association headquarters, who warns about the Dark Moon organization targeting geniuses and offers a special admission quota to Blue Star University’s Divine Sense Master Department; Chen Lie refuses, intent on advancing both mental power and the Martial Way simultaneously 94.
• Returns to East River Province after winning the Three-Province Martial Tournament; is welcomed by the provincial governor and the president of the Martial Artist Association, receives a special admission letter from Blue Star University that assesses his Martial Way talent as S-grade, and is gifted five Gold Booklets of resources 242.
• Declines an invitation to join the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, remaining steadfast in his independence and focus on the Martial Way 253.

Abilities

Mental Power (Divine Sense)

Chen Lie is a prodigious Divine Sense Master whose mental power cultivation forms the core of his abilities. He awakened his Divine Sense and began cultivating mental power using the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter, a top-tier mental cultivation technique classified as a national treasure within the Central Galactic Empire 16. His mental power purity and intensity are exceptionally high, shocking examiners during his Apprentice Divine Sense Master assessment; he scored a Sea of Consciousness value of 276,500, far surpassing typical talents on Blue Star 44 135. He progressed rapidly, lighting the first five mansions of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky in his Consciousness Sea and later gestating a Vermilion Bird Divine Image 84. After becoming an initiated Divine Sense Master, he cultivated the first Star God, the Jing Wood Tapir, which gave his mental power a sharp, inherently offensive quality 227. His mental power attacks are potent enough to incapacitate high-tier martial artists; he defeated Cui Jinyan, a Fourth-Stage martial artist, from over two meters away using an unblockable mental technique, and he can even control a willing target's body from a distance with their consent 223 228. Chen Lie is ranked ninth on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Sea of Consciousness Ranking, marking him as a potential Divine Sense Grandmaster 75 53.

After reaching Starry Sky University, Chen Lie’s Mental Power grows into one of his greatest advantages. He cultivates the Mengzhang Divine Refining Chapter in addition to the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter, develops multiple Star Gods, and passes the Mental Power Department’s dual-department assessment with Gold Level 2.5 aptitude 506 582. The Consciousness Spirit he reveals is identified as the Heaven-Grade Heaven-Devouring Giant God, an unknown devouring-type spirit capable of amplifying Mental Power attacks by ten to fifteen times 582.

• Achieved a Sea of Consciousness score of 276,500 during testing, far exceeding local geniuses 135.
• Defeated Cui Jinyan (Fourth-Stage True Qi adhesion) with a single mental attack from two meters away, rendering her helpless 228.

• Deciphered nine Outer Stars crystals containing the Interstellar Military Fist by causing the two mental power locks within each to oppose and disintegrate 139.

• Received a Mental Power subsidy of four catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower and later two Thousand-Year Spirit Medicines from the Martial Artist Association to aid his cultivation 84 228.
• Uses the Mengzhang Divine Refining Chapter to invade a Star Boat optical computer and seize control before a Mental Power Grandmaster among the Star Bandits can do so 506.
• Eliminates seven Otherworldly Demons simultaneously with a Mental Power attack, prompting Xue Zhiran to regard him as the foremost Divine Sense genius of the Eastern Star Region 555.
• Passes the Starry Sky University Mental Power Department assessment with Gold Level 2.5 Mental Power aptitude 582.
• Reveals the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit known as the Heaven-Devouring Giant God, which can devour Mental Power and amplify his attacks by ten to fifteen times 582.

• Uses Mental Power to disrupt Shen Jiuxi’s Five Elements Divine Palm and employs illusions to escape her pursuit in the Withered Myriad Sword Domain 598.

Martial Arts Prowess

While primarily a Divine Sense Master, Chen Lie also possesses formidable martial arts abilities, though he deliberately conceals much of his strength. His Blood Qi and Strength values are extremely high for his cultivation stage, and he consistently refines them using rare resources. After consuming two eight-hundred-year-old spirit medicines, his Blood-Qi Value reached 841.74 Ka and his Strength Value 7611.33 Jun 194. He also demonstrated the ability to temporarily double his Blood Qi value (from 427.73 to 803.11 cal) using a special technique 135. His martial arts mastery is deep; he flawlessly performed the C-Rank Army-Breaking Fist with stable Blood Qi circulation, astonishing his cousin Chen Ying who recognized that even top military academy students rarely achieve such perfection 92. He has mastered at least one S-rank Martial Skill—the Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique—which he used to defeat Ning Xingchen in combat 145. Chen Lie also guided Chen Xingyao in mastering the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method and helped Song Yixuan correct mistakes in her organ refining cultivation, demonstrating profound theoretical knowledge 194 228. He can see flaws in even a Grandmaster-level martial artist's cultivation, as shown when he corrected Ji Lingxuan's martial arts 179.

Following his ascent to the Supreme Extreme Realm, Chen Lie’s body becomes comparable to a juvenile Starry Sky Behemoth, and his Pure Yang Precious Blood gives him overwhelming durability, strength, and recovery 541 620. In the True Qi Stage, the incomplete Sacred-Grade Origin-Heaven Qi-Gathering Scripture grants him vast reserves of exceptionally dense True Qi, allowing him to fight above his displayed realm and defeat opponents who possess Five Elements True Qi 547 609 617.

• Achieved Blood-Qi Value of 841.74 Ka and Strength Value of 7611.33 Jun after consuming 800-year spirit medicines 194.

• His physical strength, True Qi intensity, and True Qi generation speed receive the maximum SSS+ rating in a multi-star-domain analysis 608.
• Defeats Fourth-Order Qi Gathering Realm fighters Yang Qi and Wang Haoran despite not cultivating Five Elements True Qi, relying on his physique, True Qi reserves, and saber technique 617.
• Defeats Wei Zeyang, the leading Martial Way Department freshman contender, through superior endurance, recovery, and tactical attrition to take first place in the department 620.
• Breaks through to the Mid-Second-Order Roaming Qi Realm while fighting Shao Lin, renewing his True Qi and improving his combat capability 624.

Special Techniques

Beyond raw mental power and martial strength, Chen Lie possesses several unique abilities rooted in his advanced knowledge from the Central Galactic Empire. He can bypass mental seals on Outer Stars crystals without breaking them, allowing him to read the contents directly—a feat that stumped other Divine Sense Masters 115. He can even alter the structure of mental locks to cause them to self-destruct, as demonstrated when he deciphered nine Interstellar Military Fist crystals in succession 139. His knowledge of higher-tier martial arts and cultivation methods from the Central Galactic Empire allows him to recognize and teach techniques far beyond Blue Star's standards, such as the Thunder Sound Tiger Leopard Body Tempering Technique which can reach the extreme of the Blood-Qi Stage 115. He also possesses an understanding of the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter, a national treasure-level mental cultivation method 16. His ability to control others' bodies with their consent, even when his own mental power is relatively weak, stems from his cultivation of a Consciousness Sea with five hundred Fixed Stars of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky 223.

• Recited three-quarters of the Thunder Sound Tiger Leopard Body Tempering Technique from a sealed crystal without breaking the mental lock, by "bypassing" the seals 115.
• Deciphered all nine Outer Stars crystals containing the Interstellar Military Fist by causing the two mental power locks within each to oppose and disintegrate 139.
• Controlled Wei Ranran's body remotely by obtaining her consent first; he warned that any unwillingness would break the control 223.
• Identified the Thunder Sound Tiger Leopard Body Tempering Technique by name and explained its properties (reaching the extreme of Blood-Qi Stage) before even reading it 115.
• Used his knowledge from the Central Galactic Empire to teach Chen Xingyao the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method successfully 194.
• Recognized that his own cultivation of the Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter (a Central Galactic national treasure) is the foundation of his mental power successes 16.
• Uses the Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique and its bloodline secret art, Flood Dragon Transformation, though the latter severely depletes his blood energy after use 422.
• Cultivates the incomplete Sacred-Grade Origin-Heaven Qi-Gathering Scripture, a dangerous but extraordinarily powerful Qi Gong that produces vast, high-quality True Qi 547 552.
• Masters the Geng Metal and Xin Metal Origin Purity Forces in less than half a month, then rapidly reaches major accomplishment in Gui Water Origin Purity Force within the Profound Yin Formation 597 599.
• Uses the Five Elements Secret Arts to accelerate his comprehension of Five Elements Intent and Martial Dao True Intent 596 603.
• Wields the Blood Dragon Saber Technique, an advanced Earth-rank saber art capable of generating immense saber aura and defeating similarly ranked opponents with Spirit Treasure weapons 617.
• Possesses a Lesser Heavenly Treasure ancient sword with a semi-independent sword spirit, capable of severing a Spirit Treasure-grade saber in a single strike 592.
• Uses Defying Fate and Changing Destiny after entering the Supreme Extreme Realm, transforming his life level, senses, and cultivation potential 541.

Relationships

**Chen Xingyao**

Chen Lie’s younger sister, Chen Xingyao, experiences a relationship that evolves from sibling rivalry to deep trust and deference. Initially, she struggles with jealousy and competitiveness, feeling overshadowed when Chen Lie is revealed as an Elite Student 59. Her frustration is evident when she suspects Chen Lie’s ‘Pseudo-Nutrient Saturation Constitution’ is a lie and worries about his mental state 19. However, as Chen Lie’s martial achievements grow, her attitude shifts. She speaks her mind about their second aunt’s behavior and becomes protective of her brother 168. Crucially, Chen Xingyao demonstrates complete trust in Chen Lie’s judgment when she defers her decision about an invitation from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association to him, saying, “I’ll listen to you” 198. Under Chen Lie’s guidance, she also makes rapid progress in Mental Power manipulation, and she is the one who teases him about bringing a girl home, further showing their close, candid bond 83 246.

**Lu Qingchan**

Lu Qingchan is introduced as the object of Chen Lie’s childhood infatuation—a cold, gifted girl who transferred to his school 5. In his previous life, Chen Lie had been extremely attentive toward her. After his rebirth, however, his behavior reverses dramatically: he walks past her without even looking back, leaving her puzzled 23. Lu Qingchan notes that he no longer chases after her or shows the eagerness he once did 23. Their interactions become strained; she makes snide remarks about him hiding his strength from his parents 103. Despite this, her father, Lu Qidong, actively tries to matchmake them, citing his bond with Chen Lie’s father and his desire to protect Lu Qingchan from the Lu Family’s turmoil 83. Chen Lie refuses this proposal, leading to awkwardness. Later, Lu Qingchan loses confidence after learning of Chen Lie’s title as the Three-Province Martial Champion, feeling inferior 247. She also warns Chen Lie about her cousin Lu Qingyun’s ill intentions, showing lingering concern, but Chen Lie remains indifferent 120. Their relationship is marked by a reversal of old dynamics, with Lu Qingchan now the one seeking connection and Chen Lie maintaining emotional distance.

After Chen Lie’s rise on Blue Star and in the Eastern Star Region, Lu Qingchan remains connected to him through their shared East River Province background. Zheng Shuwen arranges for Lu Qingchan, Feng Shuangshuang, and Wu Qianqian to move from the Ordinary Class to the Key Class partly because of Chen Lie’s influence 393.

His mother, Chang Guirong, pressures the Chen family to introduce Chen Ye to the expert who helped Chen Lie, and Chen Ye himself complains bitterly about the unfairness 201. After Chen Lie becomes the Three-Province Martial Champion, Chen Ye feels inferior and starts to question his own path 241.

She feels embarrassed about her initial disdain once she understands his true strength, and she reflects that she has become “the person I despise the most” 205. Wei Ranran’s father entrusts Chen Lie with taking care of her at the Provincial Youth Genius Group, and although she is humbled, their relationship remains cordial 205. She later clarifies to Ruan Liusu that she is not romantically involved with Chen Lie 254.

**Ruan Liusu**

Despite the coldness, she proactively informs Chen Lie that their provinces will train together on the Northwest Frontline, indicating she still seeks connection 256.

Their relationship develops into an openly acknowledged romance. Ruan Liusu introduces Chen Lie as her boyfriend to her friends, fellow students, and the Wenren and Yan Families, and she repeatedly supports him with resources, cultivation opportunities, and personal protection 546 597 604. She gives him a Mist-Cloaked Flower and a Profound-Grade martial skill, provides access to her Profound Yin Formation, and takes him into the Withered Myriad Sword Domain 546 598 599.

**Ji Lingxuan**

Ji Lingxuan is one of the “three giants” of Chuanzhong’s Martial Way alongside Chen Lie and Gu Yang 217. After she loses to Chen Lie in the tournament, Chen Lie offers her advice and understanding, showing a mature and respectful dynamic between rivals 241.

Their relationship later becomes one of mutual respect between elite martial artists. Ji Lingxuan acknowledges that Chen Lie’s progress has caught up to hers despite his divided focus between Martial Way and Mental Power cultivation, while Chen Lie continues to admire her pure martial talent 321 322.

**Qin Siyu**

Qin Siyu is a former classmate who maintains admiration and respect for Chen Lie.

**Huang Yuxi**

She recognizes his unusual potential and chooses him as her mentored student over a genius from the Hidden Dragon Rankings, providing him with guidance and cultivation support 575 614.

**Mu Yunyao**

Mu Yunyao is a powerful second-year sword cultivator whom Chen Lie assisted in the Sumeru Illusion Realm. She considers him her benefactor and demonstrates deep gratitude and loyalty when she recognizes him in the Withered Myriad Sword Domain 592 598.
