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

During his cultivation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s scriptures, Chen Yu mastered Ksitigarbha Medicine, tempered his Primordial Spirit, and learned methods for transferring lifespan and extracting Negative Emotion. His Qi Refining realm subsequently rose to level eight. 296 300

Chen Yu entered Profound Law University early and chose to study archaeology under Heaven-and-Earth True Person. He gained access to unidentified artifacts and archaeological training, then learned methods such as the Grinding Method to expand his understanding and improve his transformed combat body. 802 1035

Chen Yu’s influence expanded beyond Heaven Origin. His Dreamscapes, businesses, cultivation methods, and examination results attracted students and investment to the city. After improving his examination subjects and completing the physical examination with perfect results, he was later described as the top scorer with a perfect National College Entrance Examination result. 608 671 1250 1265

In the Great Rift, Chen Yu organized and protected students from multiple schools, hired Peony as a guide, and created the Heaven Origin Heart Method to help cultivators withstand excessive spiritual energy. He repeatedly tested and revised the method before distributing it to his classmates and associates. 1166 1167 1187 1188

After countless deaths in the Heavenly Demon Space, Chen Yu fought Qiu Tianyu through an extreme cycle of combat, learning Spirit Roaming and mastering nearly every magical artifact available to him. He defeated Qiu Tianyu eleven times before being expelled from the space, receiving the Flameless incantation as a final reward. 1263

Following the National College Entrance Examination, Chen Yu’s success made Heaven Origin High School exceptionally famous and pushed his cash flow to fifteen billion, with further growth expected. He continued funding his associates’ education and projects while refusing to take personal credit for the influence he had accumulated. 1265

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

Chen Yu is also unusually resistant to exhaustion and pain, having repeatedly used Dreamscape deaths, harsh training, and simulated bodily damage as tools for improvement. His persistence allows him to continue adapting even when opponents gain increasingly unfair advantages. 552 1012 1263

Although he dislikes empty fame, Chen Yu remains deeply invested in the success of his friends and students. He offered to finance Wang Chuyun’s future literature school and directed profits from the Heaven Origin Heart Method toward his associates rather than keeping the benefits for himself. 1189 1265
