Background / History

Yun Chen was an orphan in both his previous life and his life on the Douluo Continent. Abandoned in Heaven Dou City, he was raised in the empire's most luxurious orphanage. Unlike many transmigrators, he received no system and initially had no knowledge of his new life's bloodline. 1

At his Spirit Awakening ceremony, he awakened the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, a martial soul recognized by Qian Renxue as an exceptionally rare super soul beast. His awakening suppressed nearby beast martial souls and transformed his physique with golden markings and increased musculature. His innate soul power was subsequently confirmed as full. 2 3

Salas attempted to recruit Yun Chen for Spirit Hall, but Yun Chen chose Qian Renxue's side while she was disguised as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. He became her first personal subordinate and was taken to the Crown Prince's Residence. 4

Emperor Xueye later granted Yun Chen the hereditary title of Marquis, with formal investiture planned for his sixteenth birthday. 6 After Qian Renxue revealed her true identity and mission, Yun Chen chose to remain with her rather than return to Spirit Hall. She subsequently acknowledged him as her Regent, a codename later kept secret within Spirit Hall. 12 13 15

Three years later, Yun Chen operated under the name “Monarch” in Azure Cloud City's Grand Soul Arena. He achieved one hundred consecutive victories at the Gold Soul Fighting level, earning a violet-gold badge and one hundred million Gold Soul Coins. 29 30

After taking Ah Yin's Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Yun Chen brought Ah Yin's plant form away from Holy Soul Village to obstruct Tang San's future Blue Silver Emperor awakening. 32 33

Yun Chen later encountered Dugu Yan and defeated her despite her poison. His subsequent diagnosis of the inherited poisoning affecting the Jade Phosphor Snake Clan earned Dugu Bo's respect and a promise of future aid. 38 45 47

By using his knowledge of immortal herbs, Yun Chen gained access to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He consumed four immortal herbs, including the Infernal Delicate Apricot, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and Wangchuan Autumn Dew, rapidly improving his body, spiritual power, and cultivation. 49 52 56

After returning to Heaven Dou City, Yun Chen and Qian Renxue openly affirmed their love for one another. He later accompanied her to Spirit City, where she introduced him to the Hall of Worship and publicly identified him as her beloved before Bibi Dong. 56 69 70

Qian Daoliu and the Six Great Worshippers examined Yun Chen at the Worship Hall and recognized his abnormal physical strength, spiritual power, and cultivation potential. During this visit, the Sea God's inheritance within Yun Chen reacted against Angel God power, revealing him as the Sea God's chosen inheritor. 74 75 77
