Background / History

Chen Yu began as a second-year student of Tianyuan Sports High School with insufficient scores and tuition concerns. Teacher Zhao encouraged him to pursue further education despite his late start in cultivation. 1 25

His Heavenly Demon Body made ordinary praise dangerous: once Positive Emotion filled its cycle, it compelled him into an uncontrollable cultivation frenzy. During his first major episode, the Constitution recorded Teacher Zhao’s level-ten Straight Punch as an optimal template and drove Chen Yu to train until he reached level nine. 9

Chen Yu became known as the creator of the Dreamscapes The Dreamer and Body Cultivator. Their popularity improved other students’ practical-combat results and raised his Moral Score through public recognition, though the resulting praise also flooded him with hazardous Positive Emotion. 25

Working with Teacher Zhao, Chen Yu developed Dreamscapes through collaboration rather than attempting every task alone. He later expanded Heaven Origin Morning Light into a major Dreamscape and industrial operation, including work at the Heaven Origin Agricultural Machinery Factory. 14 77

His rapid rise drew conflict with the Xu Clan Group, Ghost Cultivators, Star Lord factions, corporations, and Foundation Establishment opponents. Chen Yu repeatedly used puppets, Dreamscape-derived power, and unconventional cultivation to overcome opponents who greatly exceeded his nominal realm. 278 294 554

After entering Profound Law University early, Chen Yu received Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and gained access to archaeological training and artifacts. He continued treating cultivation, Dreamscape design, industrial development, and student support as interconnected projects. 1027 1035 1187

Personality

Chen Yu is intensely pragmatic and treats almost any crisis as a problem to be solved through cultivation, Dreamscape design, resource allocation, or direct violence. He studies opponents’ methods, tests systems repeatedly, and readily exploits loopholes when conventional solutions are inefficient. 398 1013 1115

He has a deep aversion to praise because Positive Emotion can trigger his Heavenly Demon Body. He describes praise as “Goblinification,” a terminal illness in his own vocabulary, even while deliberately designing situations that harvest emotions when necessary. 25 711 1210

Despite his ruthless methods, Chen Yu consistently invests in students, employees, and vulnerable people. He creates interest-free loans, improves workplace conditions, protects classmates, helps Peony survive the Great Rift, and develops cultivation methods intended for low-level cultivators. 718 1021 1167 1187
