Background / History

Lin Chen dropped out of school at eighteen because he could not afford tuition and worked to support his younger sister, Lin Jia. He had been out of school for three months when his stat panel first appeared. 1 2

After discovering that killing even insects increased his Qi-Blood Value, Lin Chen began exploiting the ability through work at RT-Mart and later through Demon Beast hunting. He deliberately concealed his explosive growth because he lacked family backing and feared attracting danger to himself and Lin Jia. 2 4

He entered the Guard Army after the 0914 Danger Zone’s Level-Five Beast Tide. Chief Night Owl promoted him to Third-Class Sergeant Major, granted armory access and Merit Points, and later he was promoted again to Fourth-Class Sergeant Major for his military merit. 114 115 175

Lin Chen’s early masked identity as the Black Death God became widely known through competitions and battlefields. His exceptional growth led others to identify him as an Innate Awakened and later as a dual cultivator of martial arts and psychic power. 86 115 149

Appearance

Lin Chen is a tall young man with a short buzz cut, a sharply defined and notably handsome face, and a height exceeding 190 centimeters. 1

• Usually appears in battle armor or behind the Black Death God mask during major combat. 115
• Uses a blade-oriented fighting style and is frequently seen carrying the Demon Blade. 10 13
• His appearance in the Skyfire Elemental Family form revealed a hidden non-human lineage or transformation. 423

Personality

Lin Chen is intensely driven by the need to become strong enough to protect Lin Jia and those close to him. He avoids unnecessary attention early on, but once threatened, he confronts stronger opponents without retreating. 4 170 249

His combat style is pragmatic and relentless. He uses terrain, mobility, psychic restraint, and mass slaughter efficiently, treating battles as opportunities to accumulate Qi-Blood, psychic power, and proficiency. 51 58 125

Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies, he remains loyal to allies and civilians. He ordered his comrades to retreat before facing the Ancient Beast Emperor alone, and later encouraged people he had rescued to focus on their own growth rather than repaying him. 226 593

Story Role / Major Arcs

Rise in Chuan City

Lin Chen begins as an impoverished dropout supporting Lin Jia through manual labor. His stat panel turns routine killing into cultivation, allowing him to rise from an ordinary youth to a Martial Artist within days. 1 4

He trains obsessively at the Martial Artist Training Ground and in the 0914 Danger Zone, developing his blade arts, mobility techniques, defensive skills, and masked Black Death God identity. 10 37 58 84

Guard Army and Beast-Tide Campaigns

Following the 0914 beast tide, Lin Chen joins the Guard Army and becomes a key combatant against the Beast Race. His dual status as an Innate Awakened and Psychic brings him under Chief Night Owl’s protection. 114 115

He repeatedly breaks through on the front lines, protects Qingkong and Xiaoyuer, develops Enchantment, and grows from Martial Master to Martial Grandmaster through battles against Demon Generals. 134 143 152

Blue Star and Mystic Realm Conflicts

Lin Chen enters the Mystic Realm tournament, protects Qingkong, and massacres invading Martial Artists from rival nations. His growing strength makes him a central deterrent against both foreign powers and the Beast Race. 179 181 186

He later confronts Geng Junsheng, faces Magic Mage rather than allowing her to threaten Chuan City, and returns as a War God Realm expert capable of defending Blue Star directly. 235 249 261

Cosmic Expansion

After reaching the Planetary and Cosmic Levels, Lin Chen leaves Blue Star’s immediate sphere and becomes embroiled in conflicts involving the Judgment Hall, the Four Elemental Families, the Blade Domain, Pirate City, and the Apocalypse Universe. 306 332 390 479

His elemental heritage, clones, Taotie cultivation, and repeated breakthroughs elevate him from Cosmic Venerable to Cosmic Overlord and beyond. 485 489 495
