Background / History

Chen Ming began as a C-Rank Shield Guard whose teammates possessed greater apparent potential. Rather than disband the Morning Light Squad, he resolved to let its members choose whether to remain, showing confidence in his own path despite his low-ranked class 2. Jiang Yi and Song Chuan subsequently attempted to pressure him into relinquishing the captaincy, but Chen Ming dismissed them from the temporary squad without compromise 3 4.

During the Grand Exam, he solo-grinded in the wilderness and rapidly reached Level 3 on the first day. His results initially led others to assume Qin Zhixue had carried him, but Grand Exam records confirmed that he had independently hunted high-level beasts in the Level One Beast Forest 13 25. He ultimately became a widely recognized prodigy after displaying extraordinary defense and awakening an SSS-Rank mental skill during the border selection test period 38 39 43 44.

Before his mental-skill awakening, Chen Ming reached 20% mental potential and opened his mental space without first absorbing rare resources. His mental detection subsequently helped him compensate for his comparatively low agility when fighting the Gale Mantis 16 17 18. His perfect clear of Cloud Hidden Ravine earned 20 Grand Exam dungeon points, 500 experience, and the Dust Heart Ring, while Azure Flame Flowing Fire supplied his first 20% Armor Piercing effect 29.

His growing strength drew the attention of City Lord Xia Chuan, Alliance Inspectors, rival squads, and the Elf Race. Chen Ming later cleared the cross-realm dungeon Climb the Highest Peak, acquired a Spatial Node, and entrusted its management to the Alliance while retaining ownership and benefits 130. His traversal of a spatial rift also revealed that its destination was an otherworldly Abyss rather than another location on Blue Star 100 105.

After the cross-realm dungeon, Chen Ming upgraded his equipment and used stockpiled rune stones to strengthen his attributes. The Morning Light Squad led both the exterior and interior Abyss rankings in the Provincial Selection, with more than 27,850 exterior points and 10,600 interior points 130 131. Alliance leaders subsequently disclosed his SSS-Rank spatial-class status during discussions over the squad’s ranking 135.

After Qing Muyu became the fifth member of Morning Light Squad, Chen Ming gained access to the advantages of her God-Serving Priest class. He continued to lead the squad through high-difficulty dungeons and became the unanimously chosen leader of the combined Alliance and Elf Race teams 172 193.

His solo victory over the Pale Moon Wolf King helped resolve the Elf Race leadership’s objections to Qing Muyu’s binding with him. The Alliance and Elf Race jointly nominated him to lead their twenty squads, recognizing both his strength and the Morning Light Squad’s mixed membership 191 192. He later led these Elite Department teams into the dispute over the Temple Dungeon entrances and secured control of all four entrances 205 211.

On Desolate Star, Chen Ming fought in the World Beast operation, investigated Old God Zones, and inherited the Night Wanderer World. His growing reputation became sufficient to deter Divine Realm members of the Giant Spirit Race without him needing to intervene personally 305 345 356. In Qingqiu City, he rescued Yue Xi, the last surviving Moonlight Essence Clan member, then helped resolve her spiritual withering and accepted her as a follower within his spiritual world 365 374 384.

His first-place World Beast damage result attracted particular attention because he had initially occupied the bottom of the Class Ranking List as a C-Rank Shield Guard 306. He was later selected as head of Qingqiu City’s Eastern war zone, although some participants initially preferred districts led by Divine Realm geniuses and left his area 386.

In Dream Prefecture, Chen Ming set a new Cloud Mist Sea record by forming a six-colored auspicious cloud and entering a Void space beyond the reach of the Map of Mountains and Rivers. His subsequent mastery of Void elements and laws brought him to the attention of high-ranking Human Race gods 397 398 400.

After completing his Level 40 awakening, Chen Ming fused the fire powers of Vermilion Bird and Bi Fang into his Sacred Spirit Energy, establishing the Sacred Spirit Path. He subsequently entered the Extraterritorial Battlefield under the alias “Reminiscing the Past,” climbed the Ruins Ranking, and used its completion to enter the Third Realm 449 451 453.

Under the identity “Limitless,” he tested his Sacred Spirit Path against a peak-Third-Realm Treasure Tree practitioner, then defeated the hundredth-ranked King Ranking swordsman in a direct clash 455. He also acquired transformation capabilities through his Origin Tier Bronze Bell, allowing him to conceal his identity more thoroughly than by changing his name alone 464.

In the Myriad Treasure Realm, Chen Ming purchased the Ten Directions Guidance Compass and sought environments capable of meeting his Spirit Sources’ evolution requirements 469. While using Starwatch Tower’s spiritual-projection function, he traveled toward the Blue Star Realm, discovered a newly expanded cross-realm Spatial Path, and fused his Star Dipper Chessboard with Blue Star’s Starlight. His enormous projected form became visible from the Alliance’s northern border 470 472.

During the renewed World Beast operation, Chen Ming demonstrated Absolute Domain and sustained ultimate-level attacks against the Level 42 Volcanic World Beast. He finished first with 15.63 million damage and received 4.4 million experience, a World Law Fragment, and two Spirit Origin Fragments, which he gave to Yue Xi 480.

During the later World Beast battles in the Forbidden Zone, Chen Ming demonstrated overwhelming damage potential against several World Beasts. He obtained the Qilin Sacred Spirit after dealing full damage to the Level 48 Qilin World Beast, assisted decisively in the defeat of the Level 47 Giant Python World Beast, and finished the Flying Tiger World Beast with Minor Scourge 487.

When a Miasma Beast army advanced on Qingqiu City, Chen Ming activated his Star Dipper second form, extended the Star Dipper Chessboard over the city and nearby camps, and combined a black chess piece with Absolute Domain to protect the defenders. Recognizing that endless attacks would eventually exhaust the barrier, he began a battlefield-wide celestial bombardment rather than relying on defense alone 518.

At Level 50, Chen Ming awakened Primordial Force and explored its ability to amplify attacks, mobility, recovery, and other effects 543 544. Although its enhancements could briefly elevate his combat power to God Grade, he recognized the need to restore depleted resources between bursts 545. His disguised identity was subsequently exposed when Youye and the Human Race Saints encountered him and recognized that the King Rank traveler they had previously met was Chen Ming 545.

Personality

Chen Ming is self-assured, direct, and highly independent. He is willing to solo dangerous areas and routinely rejects unnecessary assistance, confident that his defense and recovery can sustain him 6 68.

His combat style is reckless by conventional standards: he often allows enemies to attack him in order to build stacking damage before retaliating decisively. Despite this, he is pragmatic rather than careless, selecting stronger prey for efficient experience, rationing his level growth to meet dungeon requirements, and negotiating to preserve ownership of valuable resources 7 156 212 130.

He is also generous toward his squad. Before their awakenings, he distributed rare elemental and pure-energy resources to Qin Zhixue, Sun Yang, and Lin Wei as a captain’s benefit 108. He later gave Gu Feng’s team a ninth-level passage token and 100,000 Merit Points after their status improved through their association with him 427.

His generosity extends beyond his immediate squad. He gave Su Yao equipment and Withered Spirit Fire and offered to help her obtain higher-tier Withered Spirit Lamps 287. He also continued supporting Yue Xi’s development by giving her Spirit Origin Fragments to charge her second Fox Spirit Tail 480.

Chen Ming possesses a firm personal sense of fairness. He intervened to protect a Fox-person woman from Ning Feng, describing his actions simply as “upholding justice,” and accepted the judgment handed down by Qingqiu City’s enforcement without demanding special treatment; the verdict awarded him 1,000 Merit Points and deducted 10,000 from Ning Feng 365. He similarly declined Merit Points offered by a Mecha Race elder because he believed there should be no reward without merit 427.

Although he continually gathers new Spirit Sources and paths, Chen Ming recognizes the danger of dispersing his effort too widely. After establishing the Sacred Spirit Path, he considered prioritizing several principal Divine Paths rather than pursuing every available source, even while aspiring toward an all-encompassing path of power 449.

He values his companions’ inclusion even when dealing with vastly stronger figures. When the Eleven-Colored God invited him away from the Mist Sea, Chen Ming politely asked the god to wait until Qin Zhixue and Qing Muyu had completed their fusion 400.

He frequently claims to prefer a low profile, despite achievements that draw widespread attention. His use of misleading names and transformed appearances reflects a playful but practical approach to concealing his identity 136 277 449 464. He remains aware of his limits: after testing Primordial Force, he distinguished brief God Grade combat power from the ability to sustain that level indefinitely 545.

Abilities & Skills

Absolute Defense

Chen Ming possesses a max-level SSS-Rank defensive skill. It reduces otherwise lethal attacks to negligible fixed damage, allowing his Constitution and recovery to outscale the danger posed by stronger enemies 2 9 185.

• Enables him to fight exotic beasts far above his level.
• Lets him deliberately absorb attacks to build offensive power.
• Combines exceptionally well with Constitution-boosting equipment and recovery effects.
• Normally causes attacks to register as only [-1], though the Pale Moon Wolf King’s full-power assault was still able to inflict [-8] damage 43 185.
• Does not remove the need to manage Constitution consumption against extremely rapid, high-frequency attacks 301.
• Also protects against mental attacks, as demonstrated during the dragon phantom’s mental-defense test 443.
• Overrode the Glory Shield and Sword dungeon’s damage mechanic, reducing an intended [-10] hit to [-1] 167.
• Allowed him to survive Void space even when his other abilities and attribute energy were stripped away 400.
• Protects his Constitution and mental power from Primordial Force’s own all-aspect expenditure, permitting enhancement without sacrificing his core survivability 543.
• Supports a combat-and-recovery strategy in which he endures enemy attacks while using Primordial Force to restore the resources consumed by previous enhancements 545.

Absolute Domain

An awakened defensive ability that extends absolute-level protection throughout the area covered by Chen Ming’s mental manifestation 480.

• Damage within the domain is transferred to the manifested Sacred Spirit rather than directly to his physical body, adding the spirit’s integrity as another layer of survivability 480.
• Its protection is exceptional even among Sacred Spirit Path users; another practitioner’s manifested spirit was shattered by the Volcanic World Beast’s eruption 480.
• Can be combined with the Star Dipper Chessboard’s black piece and World Grade Stellar Energy to form a city-scale defensive barrier 518.
• Reduced the Miasma Beast army’s attacks against that barrier to repeated [-1] damage, but the enormous number of attackers still threatened to exhaust it through attrition 518.

Battle-Hardened

A C-Rank skill that improves through continuous combat and enhances recovery efficiency 7.

• Reached Lv. 2 by Level 2, granting 12% recovery efficiency.
• Reached Lv. 13 by the time Chen Ming neared Level 10 66.
• Reached Lv. 19 during his mental-clone training in Dust Domain Pure Land 154.
• Reached Lv. 50 by the end of the fifteen-day training period 212.
• Its recovery effect later became powerful enough for Chen Ming to recover as much damage as he took in ordinary sieges 301.
• Despite its high level, it remains fundamentally a Constitution-restoring ability rather than a comprehensive means of recovering Eternal Attributes, Spirit Source energy, and other powers 544.
• Chen Ming identified Primordial Force as a means of enhancing recovery, while considering a future recovery-oriented Spirit Source Divine Path to create a more convenient all-resource restoration loop 544.

Stacking Attack and Energy Manifestation

Chen Ming’s attacks accumulate stacking damage during battle. At sufficient thresholds, he can manifest attribute energy and dramatically strengthen his combat power 66 119.

• At awakening, Annihilation Stack Attack increased attack damage by 100% after a damaging attack, with an initial 10,000% cap and a one-hour duration 38.
• Each level of the mental skill raises its damage-amplification cap by another 100% 53 119 134.
• Reached 10,400% stacking damage during the second stage of Climb the Highest Peak 119.
• Could enter Energy Manifestation at 1,000% after Level 10, down from a previous 4,000% threshold 146.
• Reached 5,000% stacking damage before eliminating nine Crystal Rock Beasts in one attack 156.
• Reached Energy Manifestation at only 500% Stacking Attack during the Glory Shield and Sword dungeon 167.
• At Level 20, he could directly enter Energy Manifestation without first accumulating stacking damage 181.
• His shield reflection can contribute to stacking damage and potentially trigger Armor Piercing 87.
• His second special state appeared when his stacking damage reached 12,000%, drawing his aura inward and greatly increasing perception and spatial control 187.

Armor Piercing

Chen Ming gained partial Armor Piercing by absorbing Azure Flame Flowing Fire, then later developed a 100% Armor Piercing effect that ignores enemy defenses 29 38 71.

• His initial Pale Flame-infused effect granted 20% Armor Piercing 29.
• Negates defensive advantages held by opponents such as the Abyss Squad.
• Can be combined with reflected shield damage.
• Forms part of his standard opening combination alongside shield-based counterattacks 87 167.
• With 100% Armor Piercing active, the base damage of his Stacking Attack rises from 40 to more than 200, allowing its scaling damage to bypass high-defense targets 81.
• Against opponents possessing Eternal Defense, its effectiveness can be substantially reduced; against Venerable Cangyuan, Chen Ming’s Armor Piercing only reached 35% 443.

Pale Flame and Annihilation

Chen Ming awakened an SSS-Rank mental skill connected to Pale Flame, granting an offensive method with the Annihilation effect. His ability is referred to as Spirit Annihilation and Annihilation Strike in later skill descriptions 38 39 57 134.

• Enhances his physical and blade-based attacks.
• Can be used in indiscriminate attacks against swarming enemies 119.
• The Pale Flame became recognizable enough to be associated with him by enemies connected to the Pale Moon Wolf King 175.
• Employed the SSS-grade mental skill Annihilation Strike during his battle with the Pale Moon Wolf King 134 185.
• Spirit Annihilation reached Lv. 40 by the end of the fifteen-day Dust Domain Pure Land training period 212.
• His Heavenly Scourge and related Heavenly Might Style attacks became practical repeated-cast attacks after Eternal Mental Power reduced or removed their mental-power cost 282 291.
• His repeated Lightning Halberd and Minor Scourge attacks each inflicted roughly 1.5 million World Damage against the Level 42 Volcanic World Beast 480.

Shield of Reversal

An SSS-Class shield skill that grants Chen Ming a shield based on his Constitution and reflects received damage back at attackers. It awakened as his Level 10 special talent skill 86 145 154.

• Reached Lv. 3 during his Dust Domain Pure Land training 154.
• Its reflected damage can rapidly build Stacking Attack while protecting Chen Ming from close-range assaults 167.
• At Lv. 28, it produced a shield equal to 48% of his Constitution; against the Pale Moon Wolf King, the shield exceeded 10,000 points 184.
• Reached Lv. 36 by the conclusion of the fifteen-day training period 212.
• It can instantly kill enemies specializing in extreme attack speed, as their repeated hits are reflected back at them 159 440.
• During his battle with Venerable Cangyuan, it produced a 4,000-point shield after absorbing a [-1] attack 443.
• Defeated Wayfarer’s Dust Ranking phantom without a direct attack by reflecting its rapid azure-wind assault; the real Wayfarer then forfeited the seat 440.

Spatial Abilities

After clearing Climb the Highest Peak, Chen Ming awakened the spatial skill Phantom Void Horn Fragment 130.

• Spatial Domain — expands by 0.5 meters per skill level and doubles at Lv. 10 154.
• Spatial Severing — tears through targets with high fixed damage; used to kill a Level 33 Howling Moon Silver Wolf 181.
• Teleportation — allows rapid repositioning and short-range mobility; became much more sustainable after he gained limited infinite mental power 174 181.
• Spatial Domain specialization — improved his fixed spatial damage and gave him the rudiments of creating and destroying space 283.
• Spatial abilities become ineffective in certain environments, including the island reef waters encountered during the Endless Sea operation 207.
• His second special state, first reached against the Pale Moon Wolf King, temporarily amplified the casting speed, power, and control of his spatial techniques severalfold 187.
• Specialized Spatial Domain reached Lv. 45 by the end of his fifteen-day Pure Land training 212.
• The sustainable range of his spatial techniques expands as Eternal Mental Power increases, though Spatial Domain’s expenditure still depends on the extent of its use 207.

Shadowless

A skill that can create an amplified shadow clone and prevent targets from escaping 187 188.

• Created a shadow clone during Chen Ming’s full-power battle with the Pale Moon Wolf King.
• The clone synchronizes with Chen Ming’s condition at the time of casting and inherits most of his abilities, including Qin Zhixue’s support effects 187.
• Locked onto the fleeing Wolf King and suppressed its escape skill.
• Used with Shadow Explosion to execute the Wolf King in a mechanic kill 188 189.
• Can be cast without mental-power consumption under the effects of Eternal Mental Power, subject to Chen Ming’s testing conditions 173.
• Was the most costly of his single-use skills when he reviewed his Eternal Mental Power at Level 25 207.

Afterimage Execution

An upgraded afterimage skill with multiple afterimages and an execution effect 211.

• Awakened as Chen Ming’s SSS-Rank special talent skill after he reached Level 20 168.
• Had four afterimages after its update.
• Execution effect increases by 0.1% per level.
• A single attack can stack four layers of attack damage 174.
• Reached Lv. 30 by the end of the fifteen-day training period, after Chen Ming devoted nearly all his mental avatars to its improvement during the final stretch 212.

Eternal Attributes

Chen Ming has accumulated several Eternal Attributes through dungeon rewards and special resources.

• Eternal Mental Power — grants a limited form of infinite mental power, greatly improving his spatial mobility and sustained combat 174.
• 1% Eternal Strength — obtained from a hidden stage after defeating a giant Demonic Pincer Beast 223.
• Eternal Agility — reached at least 1.5% while harvesting Blue Fire Fragments in the Withered Spirit Old God Zone 328.
• Eternal Mental Power Mark — can eliminate the need for continuous mental-power expenditure in certain dungeon mechanics 235.
• Eternal Mental Power can improve the strength and duration of certain skills in addition to reducing their mental-power costs 208.
• At Level 25, he possessed 7,740 mental power and 774 Eternal Mental Power; the level increase added 31 points to the latter 207.
• Eternal Mental Power could still barely function in parts of the Great Mist where ordinary mental power could not extend outward 301.
• Primordial Force can enhance recovery of depleted Eternal Attributes alongside his other powers 544.

Void Elements and Auspicious Clouds

Chen Ming condensed an auspicious cloud using the difficult lightning element, then continuously incorporated further elements and laws beyond ordinary Class Changer limits 392 397.

• Successfully formed a single-colored lightning auspicious cloud despite the element’s destructive instability 392.
• Assimilated lightning, wind, fire, metal, and spatial power to produce an unprecedented six-colored auspicious cloud 397.
• Entered a Void space after the six-color fusion and absorbed Void elements associated with fire, lightning, metal, wood, and wind while attempting to comprehend Void-space law 399.
• Returned with control over the elemental tides of the Cloud Mist Sea, enhanced by the Law of Void 400.
• Can supply a strand of his auspicious cloud’s origin to guide another Class Changer’s cloud fusion 404.
• After entering the Third Realm, the color limit of his auspicious clouds increased to eight 453.
• His Void elements and Law can be attached to other abilities to increase their power 400.
• Primordial Force can enhance the restoration of depleted Void Law power 544.

Sacred Spirit Path

Chen Ming established the Sacred Spirit Path by refining and fusing the fire powers of Vermilion Bird and Bi Fang within the Cauldron of All Things. Rather than retaining Bi Fang’s power as a separate Withered Spirit Energy, he incorporated it into Sacred Spirit Energy so that it could combine with the power of the Four Saints 449.

• The fusion produced a fifth Bi Fang Sacred Spirit, though Chen Ming considered the configuration incomplete and described it as “four and a half Saints” rather than a true Five Saints arrangement 449.
• Bi Fang contributes Eternal Burning, an offensive trait that inflicts persistent damage which is difficult to remove 449.
• Chen Ming intends to seek further Sacred Spirit Beasts, including the Qilin, Bai Ze, and potentially Kunpeng, to develop the path further 449.
• His Four Saints Phenomenon proved stronger than the Treasure Tree Phenomenon of a peak-Third-Realm opponent 455.
• Heavenly Scourge Spear combines lightning with Eternal Burning flames; it pierced and damaged the opponent’s treasure tree and later shattered the King Ranking swordsman’s sword radiance 455.
• During the Volcanic World Beast battle, Eternal Burning could stack eight times and leave 120,000 ongoing damage after Chen Ming stopped attacking 480.
• Increasing Sacred Spirit Energy strengthens his fused Sacred Spirits and improves their associated effects together 480.
• He later obtained the Qilin Sacred Spirit in the form of a newborn Violet Lightning Qilin after defeating the Level 48 Qilin World Beast 487.
• He has considered combining Sacred Spirit Energy and other special energies with Void Law to further strengthen Eternal Storm 487.
• He can convert Sacred Spirit Energy into Star Dipper Energy for his second combat form 518.

Heaven-Opening Sword

Chen Ming developed and employed powerful sword techniques after stabilizing the Sacred Spirit Path and entering the Extraterritorial Battlefield 449 451.

• Using the alias “Reminiscing the Past,” he defeated Shi Po to take the 100th rank of the Ruins Ranking 451.
• He defeated Li Wangtian of the Kanglan Race to claim the Ruins Ranking’s 50th rank 451.
• His Heaven-Splitting Sword Strike defeated the Ruins Ranking’s first-seat phantom in a single attack and became the battle phantom he left on the ranking 453.
• His sword performance earned the epithet “One-Sword Reminiscing the Past” and encouraged spectators to connect that identity with Chen Ming and “Twenty Million” 452.

Night Wanderer World

Chen Ming inherited and fused with the Night Wanderer World through the Night Wanderer Lamp, turning the former Old God realm into a manifestation of his own mental space 344 345.

• Allows Chen Ming to assume a Night Wanderer Body and travel through special boundaries or Mist Gates 356 376.
• Grants a ghost-body swap: he can exchange the positions of his physical body and a Blue Fire Ghost body under his control 334.
• The Origin Tier Night Wanderer Lamp enables emotional resonance and a form of mind-reading, letting Chen Ming perceive others’ broad thoughts and combat intent 344 369.
• Its fusion allowed Chen Ming to achieve a unique form of mental manifestation at Level 35 345.
• His Night Wanderer Body enabled him to take Yue Xi through a Mist Gate into the Moonlight Essence Clan’s territory without obtaining its usual Guidance Compass 376.
• The world became Yue Xi’s residence after she separated her Spirit Body from her physically weakened body 384.

Star Dipper Chessboard and Firmament

Chen Ming cultivates a Star Dipper Chessboard Spirit Source that requires genuine Starlight rather than ordinary elemental energy. He used Starwatch Tower’s Reflect the Heavens function to project his Spirit Body toward distant worlds and obtain the necessary stellar power 449 469 470.

• Fused the chessboard with the Blue Star Realm’s Starlight, expanding the chessboard and the Black-and-White Twins into two colossal black-and-white peaks 472.
• His projection became so large that it appeared as an ancient giant god beyond Blue Star’s heavens 472.
• In his second combat form, converts Sacred Spirit Energy into Star Dipper Energy and manifests a God Grade chessboard over Qingqiu City and surrounding war-zone camps 518.
• Star Dipper Firmament creates an overhead celestial realm containing stars, streams of light, a sun, a moon, and a vast blue world formed from previously absorbed Stellar Energy 518.
• A black chess piece, representing World Grade Stellar Energy and mental energy, can combine with Absolute Domain to shield a vast area 518.
• Can release thousands of falling stars across a battlefield, producing explosions, Heavenly Fire, and piercing streams of light 518.
• The chessboard is associated with a major Feather Race lineage, making Chen Ming’s mastery of it unusual for someone outside that race 518.

Primordial Force

An enhancement ability awakened at Level 50. Primordial Force sacrifices Chen Ming’s capabilities in other areas to strengthen a selected ability or effect, including offense, speed, recovery, and endurance 543.

• Draws on his combat attributes and energy rather than being limited to a single attack type 543.
• Absolute Defense prevents the expenditure from reducing his Constitution or mental power 543.
• Can enhance recovery of Eternal Attributes, Unique Attributes, Spirit Source energy, and Void Law power 544.
• Chen Ming tested a 1% reduction in overall combat strength and nearly restored the lost resources by applying recovery enhancements to the depleted components individually 544.
