Background / History

Chen Xinjie was one of the Douluo Continent's three peak quasi-gods, alongside Federation Council Chairman Chen Yu and Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming. He served as Hall Master of the Federation-aligned War God Temple and led the Sea God Family. 1 25 49

Over forty years before his death, Chen Xinjie commanded the Tianhai Legion. As head of the Sea God Family, he sought to rename the Federation force the Sea God Legion, presenting the request as a tribute to the Sea God. Chen Yu refused, removed him from command, and purged military officers whose loyalties lay outside the Federation. Chen Xinjie retained this grievance for decades. 25 26

He had a long romantic history with Long Yeyue. After Chen Yu killed her with a distant spear strike, Chen Xinjie treated the event as a blood feud and joined Yun Ming's plan against Chen Yu. 12 25

Later discussions among Skysea Alliance-linked aristocrats and sects revealed that they had backed the Sea God Family in hopes of regaining control of the Three Great Navies. Chen Xinjie's defeat and execution ended this effort and left the navies firmly under Chen Yu's control. 95

Although the Sea God Family initially remained powerful after his execution, with more than a dozen Title Douluo still among its ranks, Chen Yu later annihilated its remaining members. Chen Xinjie's younger brother Chen Xinnian was among those killed, bringing the family to an end. 208 212

Appearance

Chen Xinjie is depicted as an imposing man whose presence is closely associated with the ocean.

• Deep-blue robe with sleeves that move in the sea wind. 25
• Long, deep-blue hair falling over his shoulders. 25
• Haughty eyes and a manner described as looking down upon the world. 25
• Wore Four-Word Battle Armor during his confrontation with Chen Yu. 29

Personality

Chen Xinjie is proud, status-conscious, and contemptuous of opponents he considers beneath him. At sea, he regarded Federation warships and Title Douluo commanders as insignificant “toys,” expecting them to retreat at his command. 25 27

His hostility toward Chen Yu was driven by personal resentment over his removal from the Tianhai Legion and by Long Yeyue's death. When confronted over his alliance with Shrek Academy, he defended himself with claims of acting “for the good of the Federation,” though Chen Yu identified revenge and self-interest as his actual motives. 25 29

After defeat, Chen Xinjie refused to acknowledge the Federation's authority over him, insisting that only a vote of the War God Temple's War Gods could decide his fate. 42

Abilities & Skills

Peak Quasi-God Cultivation

Chen Xinjie stood among the continent's strongest cultivators as a peak quasi-god and one of the three figures considered equal to Chen Yu and Yun Ming. 1 25

• His strength was considered sufficient for Yun Ming to view their combined force as a possible answer to Chen Yu. 12
• His understanding of the ocean had reached the mortal limit; advancing further would have required entering the domain of gods. 160
• He was nevertheless defeated instantly by Chen Yu, whose punch shattered his Battle Armor, dimmed the Sea God Helmet, and left him unconscious. 29
• Soul-power limiters designed by the Federation could completely prevent him from mobilizing soul power after his capture. 30

Ocean Martial Soul

Chen Xinjie's martial soul is the ocean, granting him overwhelming advantages in naval combat. 25

• His combat power could double while at sea. 25
• The ocean continuously replenished his soul power, allowing sustained combat. 28
• Continuous bombardment by the three Federation fleets could still exhaust him; he was not a true god and could suffer fatigue. 28

Sea God Helmet

Chen Xinjie wielded the Sea God Helmet, a replica of Tang San's divine equipment created to preserve the Sea God Family's strength and faith. 28

• Enabled him to command the sea, producing massive waves, storms, dark clouds, gales, and lightning. 28
• Forced the three fleets to cease artillery fire by making their ships too unstable to aim safely. 28
• Its power failed to withstand Chen Yu's punch; its light dimmed when Chen Xinjie was defeated. 29

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sea God Helmet — replica divine equipment that amplified his control over the ocean. 28
• Four-Word Battle Armor — automatically activated against Chen Yu's attack but shattered under a single punch. 29

Relationships

• Chen Yu — brother and longtime rival. Chen Yu removed him from the Tianhai Legion decades earlier; Chen Xinjie later rebelled against the Federation and was captured, tried, and executed under Chen Yu's authority. Chen Yu subsequently eradicated the remaining Sea God Family. 25 28 42 212
• Long Yeyue — former lover and the primary catalyst for his revenge against Chen Yu after her death. 12 25
• Yun Ming — ally in the anti-Federation coalition; Chen Xinjie joined Shrek Academy's effort to oppose Chen Yu. 25 29
• Shrek Academy — maintained close, long-running ties with the Sea God Family and had supported Chen Xinjie's rise within the Federation. His death and the purge of the War God Temple severed one of Shrek's deepest connections within Federation institutions. 49
• Chen Xinnian — younger brother and a Limit Douluo who survived Chen Xinjie and later assumed control of Sea God Island. He was subsequently killed alongside the remaining Sea God Family members. 208 210 212
• Sea God Family — Chen Xinjie was its patriarch and attempted to use Federation military assets to advance its Sea God-centered interests. The family remained a substantial force immediately after his death but was later wiped out by Chen Yu. 26 49 208 212
• War God Temple — its Hall Master until his arrest and conviction; his fall enabled the Federation to seize control of the institution. 25 30

Story Role / Major Arcs

Intervention at Tianhai City

Chen Xinjie arrived outside Tianhai City with tens of thousands of sea soul beasts, intending to take revenge on Chen Yu and support Shrek Academy's resistance. He confronted the Tianhai, Donghai, and Beihai naval forces, expecting them to yield. 25 27

The three fleets instead launched a sustained artillery barrage. Chen Xinjie endured through his oceanic replenishment before deploying the Sea God Helmet to incapacitate the fleets' ability to fire accurately. 27 28

Defeat and Capture

Chen Yu appeared over the sea despite simultaneously confronting Yun Ming elsewhere, later revealed to be possible through an avatar technique. Chen Xinjie attempted to justify his alliance with Shrek Academy, but Chen Yu defeated him with one punch. 29 31

Federation officers restrained the unconscious Chen Xinjie with specialized limiters and kept him alive for a public trial rather than executing him immediately. 30

Trial and Execution

Chen Xinjie was tried before the entire Federation on charges including treason, abuse of power, collusion with outside forces, attempted misappropriation of military resources, and diverting Federation resources to his family. 41

He remained largely silent during the proceedings, then rejected the court's authority after the guilty verdict. Thirty Level 9 Soul Guidance Ray units fired simultaneously, vaporizing him completely. 41 42

Destruction of the Sea God Family

Chen Xinjie's death did not immediately eliminate the Sea God Family, which still possessed numerous powerful members under the leadership of his younger brother Chen Xinnian. 208

Chen Yu later killed Chen Xinnian and the remaining Sea God Family members, conclusively ending the family that Chen Xinjie had led. 212
