Background

Chu Minghao was created through the Chu Family’s Anti-Final Producer Project. He was one of 32.8 billion clones produced from the fertilized egg of a previous Chu Family head and his wife. At his birth, latent Superbrains in cryogenic hibernation lost their consciousnesses, while Chu Minghao became the sole manifest Superbrain besides the Final Producer: the Present Invincible. 404

During the Fourth War, Chu Minghao fought alongside Liang Min and Xu Wanfang as one of humanity’s three known Superbrains. Their combined emergence swept aside conventional armies, fleets, technology, and Singularity creations, prompting numerous factions to research or attempt to weaponize Superbrains. 404

The Thirteen Singularity Company considered dissecting Chu Minghao and turning him into a Superbrain weapon. He survived partly because the Human Revolutionary Union’s attacks forced the Company to redirect its attention during the war. 130 182

Chu Minghao later discovered that the people he knew as his parents had been manipulated by the Final Producer. In the resulting confrontation, he killed them and, with Liang Min’s aid, destroyed the Final Producer’s avatar. The act left him deeply traumatized and impaired his ability to use Superbrain World for a time. 404 409

Appearance

Chu Minghao is first seen as a youth who appears seventeen or eighteen years old, carrying a sword case on his back and wearing a bright, sincere smile. 48

• Carries a distinctive sword case, from which he releases and controls vast fields of sword light. 50 54
• Has a scar across his back that nearly split his body in two, received while attempting to establish a shelter in a Baseline Reality 0.6 Dream World. 51
• Can project an overwhelming “immortal” presence through a low-level application of his Superbrain ability, making observers perceive him as an immense and ethereal immortal. 53 54

Personality

Chu Minghao is an idealist with an unusually direct commitment to ordinary people. He seeks out surviving maintenance personnel, offers them shelter-building assistance and intelligence, and openly declares that his strength comes from standing with the common people. 49 130

He is candid to the point of embarrassment, freely explaining the severe side effects of his titles and showing his near-fatal wound without attempting to hide it. 51 He also combines that sincerity with long-term planning: even Liang Min acknowledges that Chu Minghao habitually preserves contingencies and concealed trump cards. 186

His compassion does not make him naïve. He is willing to act ruthlessly against threats to humanity, but refuses risks that could contaminate Redemption Land merely to gain more information. 506 622 Having lost companions and loved ones during the Fourth War, he believes strength should make one a safety net for others—not a replacement for their own choices and lives. 583

Abilities & Skills

Present Invincible Superbrain

Chu Minghao possesses the Present Invincible, a special Superbrain ability also called Superbrain Time-Space. It grants him an extreme subjective-time advantage while allowing his mind to control external weapons and phenomena. 50 181

• His early Superbrain Time-Space perception was described as allowing several seconds of subjective thought within roughly a picosecond. 50
• His Superbrain World later reached femtosecond-scale perception, a millionfold faster than the nanosecond-scale Superbrain Worlds used by Wu Pifu and Xu Wanfang. 406 720
• Within its active duration, he can move and attack while ordinary opponents appear frozen. 405 720
• His long-term objective is to extend this ability toward Planck-time scales, which he believes may trigger a qualitative transformation in the Present Invincible. 963

Sword Condensation Art

Chu Minghao cultivates the Sword Condensation Art, using Superbrain Time-Space to turn its fleeting sword light into an extraordinarily versatile weapon. 50

• Controls sword light through thought over what is, to him, an extended period of subjective time. 50
• Can use sword light for distant execution, shaping constructs, lifting, flight, and barriers. 50
• Developed ordinary sword techniques into an effect resembling a sword immortal’s Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect. 118
• Can unleash light on a massive scale, sealing regions of space and tearing open spatial cracks. 506

Heavenly Sword

Chu Minghao’s sword path reached the Heavenly Sword level—the highest sword realm available to mortals. At this stage, he is described as becoming the sword itself, with all swords metaphorically bowing before him. 720 963

• The Heavenly Sword can be manifested through his sword fingers and used in close-quarters combat. 720 721
• Even while controlled and operating below his peak, his swordsmanship suppressed Wu Pifu in the latter’s preferred range of close combat. 721
• He seeks the Sword Realm’s True Sword advancement, believing it can elevate both his sword path and Superbrain World beyond the limits of the Heavenly Sword. 963 964

Emotional Perception

Chu Minghao can investigate people through emotional perception. He used it to examine suspected conspirators among allies, political rivals, and surrendered Company personnel. 622

Titles

Title	Effect	Side Effect / Limitation
Sun Seeker	Makes the sun appear overhead for one minute, regardless of location or circumstances.	If more than 70% of Chu Minghao’s body is naked, all intelligent life forms become sexually attracted to him. 51
Tumu Fortress War God	Raises his strength to the theoretical limit of any region, country, or world named “Tumu Fortress.”	Companions and followers in that area may inexplicably die or be captured. 51
Red Wolf	Raises a vehicle’s overall performance by 50%; its broader empowerment can comprehensively amplify supernatural paths, potential, physical strength, and attack power.	After leaving the vehicle, his personal combat power and attributes are reduced by 50% for roughly ten minutes. 51 804

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Sword case — His signature carrying case and the medium through which he deploys sword light and large-scale sword attacks. 48 54
• Heavenly Sword — The manifested weapon of his Heavenly Sword-level path. 720
• Magic Mirror — A fantasy item capable of precognition, searching, and location tracking; it must be praised as the world’s most amazing and beautiful mirror after use, or it develops cracks and may shatter. 49 51
• Superbrain Auxiliary — His original device was destroyed after the Fourth War. As president, he later used Main Brain authorization to manufacture an incomplete replacement. 50 586

• Xu Shilan — Former university classmate and almost-political-marriage partner. Despite their complicated history, she initially trusted him enough to vouch for him to Wu Pifu and Yamadai. 48
• Liang Min — Fellow Superbrain and long-term ally. They jointly fought the Final Producer, lead humanity alongside Wu Pifu, and frequently clash over the acceptable cost of protecting civilization. 404 622
• Gao Changgong — Loyal supporter who organized efforts to rescue Chu Minghao from Week’s End. 292 295
• Chu Yuyan — Distant Chu Family relative entrusted with the Chu Family’s World-Destroying Authority after the Redemption War. 336 338

• His “parents” — People he regarded as his parents until learning the truth of his cloning origin; they were under the Final Producer’s control when he killed them. 404

Story Role / Major Arcs

Aid to maintenance personnel

After awakening, Chu Minghao sought out surviving maintenance personnel across different zones with the Magic Mirror. He offered to guide newcomers toward safer first shelters, provide intelligence to established teams, and personally eliminate dangers when possible. 49

In the Song Dynasty Dream World, he adopted the persona of a Penglai immortal traveling with disciples. He used this status to secure political protection for Wu Pifu, Yamadai, and Xu Shilan while forcing them to develop the strength needed to survive without him. 53 54

Redemption efforts

Chu Minghao organized a large-scale redemption effort against veil weak points, personally broadcasting to maintenance personnel and promising to fight alongside them. He stated that success would reduce the duration of Week’s End, lower the difficulty of establishing shelters, and improve Main Brain assessments. 143

Exile in Week’s End

Chu Minghao was besieged by Human Revolutionary Union leaders, Thirteen Singularity Company elites, Dream World entities, and projected root-level threats before being exiled into Week’s End. He survived numerous scenarios and several near-fatal crises there. 410

His confinement caused a major rescue operation involving the government, presidential candidates, Transcendents, and hundreds of Gaia humans. Wu Pifu ultimately committed himself to reaching Chu Minghao before the relevant scenario closed. 292 337 384 385

Leadership of Gaia humanity

Following his return, Chu Minghao became a central stabilizing force for human civilization. His recovery, Dream World experience, and acquisition of supernatural power sharply improved the survival prospects of maintenance personnel and enabled the rise of veteran teams and title holders. 410

He later helped establish long-term defenses for Redemption Land, advocated cooperation with repentant human factions, and prioritized protecting humanity from Dream World contamination over factional rivalries. 622 832

Pursuit of ascension

Chu Minghao entered the lower Dream Worlds in search of the Sword Realm and the True Sword path, refusing to settle for an ordinary ascension based solely on the Heavenly Sword. 963 964

As the conflict with the Heavenly Court escalated, he prepared the sealed mech cores, Superbrain Auxiliary, Dragon Rider System, and the theoretical Ultimate Superbrain Combat Form for humanity’s final battle. 964
