Chen Xinjie

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Chen Xinjie became one of the Federation’s most influential military leaders, commanding the Sea God Legion and serving as the military’s foremost figure. His standing gives him authority over military affairs, the God of War Hall, and high-level political negotiations. 32 63 97

He had already reached the Divine Origin Realm in spiritual power following the Heavensea War, alongside Yun Ming. Because Douluo Star’s Plane Laws would kill him if he fully exposed that breakthrough, he concealed and suppressed his true cultivation for years. 112 115

Chen and Long Yeyue were once lovers, but he was the first to let go when they separated. Unbeknownst to him, she discovered that she was pregnant after his departure and subsequently lost their child. Chen later established a family under pressure from his relatives and had a son, Chen Zeyu, while continuing to love Long Yeyue and quietly follow news of her. 161 183 184 185

After Long Yeyue’s rescue and the reconstruction of her secondary personality, Chen increasingly leaves his responsibilities to Chen Zeyu and Guan Yue. By the preparations for the Federation’s unification offensive, Chen Zeyu is identified as the Sea God Legion’s current commander, although his prestige still falls short of his father’s. 187 229

Appearance

Chen Xinjie carries himself with the composure of a long-serving authority figure. Even when dressed plainly, he maintains a straight-backed, unhurried posture. 32

• Often wears dark-gray military attire or an overcoat bearing military insignia. 95
• His Four-Word Battle Armor, Vast Sea Qiankun, is dark blue with flowing wave-like patterns across its shoulder guards and breastplate. 111
• His voice is steady and resonant, described as that of an elder. 32

Personality

Chen is calm, direct, and politically capable. When he first meets Mo Yuan as the Xu Family’s representative, he avoids empty pleasantries, accepts responsibility for the family’s wrongdoing, and helps secure a settlement that removes the Xu Family’s influence from the Academy of Sciences. Mo Yuan’s vision for technological progress and space exploration quickly earns Chen’s respect. 32

He is unusually receptive to technological change for a senior military leader. Chen repeatedly champions Mo Yuan’s inventions, organizes military trials of the Super Mutation Factor, recognizes the Plane Isolation Cage Bomb’s strategic value, and supports Mo Yuan’s eventual rise to Federation leadership. 80 95 96 98

Beneath his authority, Chen is informal and prone to teasing with trusted friends. He trades jokes and arguments with Mo Yuan, Zhu Ming, Zhang Huanyun, and Fu Moxin, yet takes the safety of the soldiers under his command seriously. 95 98 105 161

His devotion to Long Yeyue exposes his most vulnerable side. Her disappearance leaves him emotionally shattered, and he becomes willing to promise Mo Yuan anything in exchange for help finding her. After learning that she resents him for leaving her and for the death of their unborn child, Chen ultimately chooses to preserve her reconstructed secondary personality rather than restore her hate-filled primary self. He had not known about the pregnancy when they separated. 152 184 185 186

That decision follows an intense moral struggle. Chen recognizes that replacing Long Yeyue’s primary personality would deny the reality of her hatred and his own mistakes, but ultimately convinces himself that a personality retaining her memories and emotional preferences without that hatred is still truly her. He resolves to conceal the truth for the rest of his life. 186

After their reunion, his devotion repeatedly takes precedence over official duties. He spends two and a half months traveling with Long Yeyue, relies on others to keep his work running, and receives reprimands from Fu Moxin. Nevertheless, his gratitude to Mo Yuan remains sincere, and he readily offers support when Anti-Entropy faces pressure from the Spirit Pagoda. 187 212 224

Abilities & Skills

Divine Origin Realm Spiritual Power

Chen’s spiritual power reaches the Divine Origin Realm, granting him God-Level combat potential when freed from Douluo Star’s Plane Laws. 111 112

• The Plane Isolation Cage Bomb’s independent space temporarily removes the Plane Laws suppressing him. 112
• His spiritual pressure disrupts abyssal energy formation, immobilizes or weakens powerful enemies, and destroys weaker Abyss creatures on contact. 112
• He cannot safely maintain his full strength under Douluo Star’s normal laws; prolonged unrestricted release would endanger his life. 115
• Even with his spiritual power unrestricted, he is overpowered by the Abyssal Sage King’s projection, demonstrating that his spiritual breakthrough does not make him equal to that opponent. 113 115

Sea and Water Manipulation

Despite fighting in an environment without natural water elements, Chen condenses water-pressure energy into devastating attacks. 111

• Uses compressed water-pressure strikes capable of overpowering the Transformation Emperor. 111
• Boundless Sea creates an immense blue wave-like field that completely immobilizes the Transformation Emperor. 111
• Qiankun Demonbreaker pierces the Transformation Emperor’s core, killing him after his transformation and escape abilities are suppressed. 112
• The absence of water elements weakens his normal combat strength, although releasing his Divine Origin Realm spiritual power allows him to dominate the Abyssal Emperors within the isolation field. 111 112

Four-Word Battle Armor: Vast Sea Qiankun

Vast Sea Qiankun is Chen’s Four-Word Battle Armor, dramatically enhancing his speed, defense, and offensive power. 111

• Forms as dark-blue armor with ocean-wave patterns. 111
• Endures the Transformation Emperor’s changing weapons and sustained attacks. 111
• Is damaged by the Abyssal Sage King projection’s Heavenly Abyss Rend, whose spatial shockwave cracks the breastplate and wounds Chen. 113

Military Command and Strategic Judgment

Chen combines personal strength with high-level military authority and practical strategic insight.

• Identifies the military potential of Fusion Warriors after witnessing Chen Qi’s combat ability. 80
• Personally selects, supervises, and protects the rights of forty soldiers volunteering for Super Mutation Factor testing. 95 97
• Recognizes the Plane Isolation Cage Bomb as a means to permanently kill Abyss creatures cut off from the Abyss Plane. 96 105
• Convened a senior Military Department meeting to report the Abyss Tide victory and introduce the Cage Bomb’s results. 121
• Facilitates military evaluation and adoption of the Miniature Spatial Energy Storage Core, arranging a closed briefing for the standing legion commanders. 42 61
• Uses his institutional authority to appoint Mo Yuan a special consultant with the rank of Federal Lieutenant General. 68

Enhancement Compatibility

Chen seeks a means to advance further toward God-Level and asks whether Mo Yuan’s Super Mutation Factor can strengthen him. Mo Yuan explains that the current technology works only on Beast Martial Souls and is incompatible with Chen’s natural-element Martial Soul. He instead tells Chen to await research into Stigmata, a proposed enhancement intended to work on any Soul Master. Chen is not shown receiving either enhancement. 103

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Vast Sea Qiankun — Chen’s Four-Word Battle Armor. 111
• Plane Isolation Cage Bomb prototype — Delivered by Chen to the Blood God Legion for field testing against the Deep Abyss. 105
• Soul Tool Communicator — Frequently used to coordinate with Mo Yuan and military allies. 80 95
• Miniature Spatial Energy Storage Core prototype — Entrusted to Chen for military testing; its storage density and output stability surpass existing models. 42

Relationships

• Mo Yuan — Political and technological ally. Chen negotiated the Xu Family settlement with him, backed Anti-Entropy’s military projects, and pledged support for Mo Yuan’s Federation Chairmanship bid. Their relationship is marked by mutual trust and constant teasing. 32 80 96 98 After Mo Yuan rescues Long Yeyue and reconstructs her secondary personality, Chen becomes deeply grateful to him. When the Spirit Pagoda raises prices, Chen offers to use his influence in the Soul Master world to support Mo Yuan, who declines because he already has a countermeasure. 186 187 212
• Long Yeyue — Former lover and later reunited partner; the person Chen never stopped loving. He searches for her after her disappearance, nurses her through her recovery, and chooses to preserve her secondary personality so they can remain together. 152 181 183 186 187 After awakening, she appears to remember their passionate relationship but not their breakup, their child’s death, or her relationship with the Heaven-Favored Douluo. Chen conceals the circumstances of her recovery, and they travel together extensively. 186 187
• Zhang Huanyun — Longtime comrade and commander of the Blood God Legion. Chen delivers forty enhanced soldiers and the Plane Isolation Cage Bomb to him, though both recognize the other’s tendency to seek favors. 95 105 111
• Cao Dezhi — Blood God Battalion commander and fellow defender against the Deep Abyss. Chen rescues him during the Abyss Tide and later fights beside the Blood God Legion. 106 110 111
• Fu Moxin — Federation Parliament Speaker and political ally. Together, they discuss Mo Yuan as a future leader and their own eventual retirements. 35 96 161 Fu Moxin later reprimands Chen for neglecting his duties during his reunion with Long Yeyue and teases him for leaving the election preparations largely to him. 187 224
• Zhu Ming — Eastsea Legion commander and old friend. Zhu Ming challenges Chen’s trust in Mo Yuan, while Chen defends Mo Yuan’s intentions and future value to the Federation. 98
• Yun Ming — Fellow Divine Origin Realm powerhouse and respected rival. Chen and Yun Ming secretly achieved their spiritual breakthrough after the Heavensea War. 112 115 Chen feels melancholy upon recognizing that Yun Ming has likely died during the attack on Shrek. 153
• Chen Zeyu — Chen’s biological son. Chen once intended to pass the Sea God Legion to him, but impulsively offers it to Mo Yuan while overwhelmed by news of Long Yeyue. 161 Chen later worries that his son lacks sufficient prestige to succeed him as head of the Military Department. Nevertheless, Zeyu helps cover his responsibilities during his travels and is subsequently identified as the Sea God Legion’s current commander. 167 187 229
• Guan Yue — Fellow God of War Hall leader who assists with Mo Yuan’s visit and later shares responsibility for Chen’s work during his prolonged absence with Long Yeyue. 63 68 187
• Ya Li — Fellow senior powerhouse whom Chen asks to examine Long Yeyue after her rescue. He gathers precious medicinal herbs and asks Ya Li to prepare a nourishing prescription for her recovery. 182 183
• Chen Qi — Fusion Warrior whose performance convinces Chen of the Super Mutation Factor’s military value. Chen questions the competition organizers over Ye Xinglan’s irregular participation and promises to intervene if Shrek pursues Chen Qi over her injuries. 80 81
• Qiangu Dongfeng and Qiangu Dieting — Spirit Pagoda leaders whom Chen confronts over the circumstances enabling the attack on Shrek. Despite their denials, he declares that the Spirit Pagoda will be investigated. 152 153
• Yu Guanzhi — Fellow senior military leader. During preparations for the unification offensive, Yu Guanzhi considers drawing Chen back from his travels to command the expedition, although no appointment is confirmed. 229

Story Role / Major Arcs

Xu Family Negotiation

Chen visits Mo Yuan as the Xu Family’s representative following Xu Rongzhi’s death. Rather than threaten Mo Yuan, he conveys the family’s concessions, accepts Mo Yuan’s demand to remove their planted Academy of Sciences representatives, and promises to protect Mo Yuan’s family from retaliation. 32

Alliance with Anti-Entropy

Chen becomes one of Mo Yuan’s earliest and strongest institutional supporters. He consults Mo Yuan on naval energy storage, brings Fu Moxin into contact with him, observes Anti-Entropy’s technological projects, and grows convinced that Mo Yuan can transform the Federation. 35 71 98

He accepts the completed Miniature Spatial Energy Storage Core for testing and confirms its superior performance. He later summons Mo Yuan to a closed military meeting, where the legion commanders agree to adopt the technology and cooperate with Anti-Entropy. 42 61

Chen also accompanies Mo Yuan into the God of War Hall, introduces him to the War Gods as a challenger, and warns them not to hold back. At the eighteenth level, he presents Mo Yuan with a certificate and badge appointing him a special consultant and granting him the rank of Federal Lieutenant General. 63 68

Chen Qi and the Super Mutation Factor

At Mo Yuan’s request, Chen observes Chen Qi at the Skysea Grand Competition and recognizes that the one-ring fighter possesses strength beyond an ordinary Soul Ancestor. He then organizes a military pilot program, bringing forty carefully screened soldiers to Anti-Entropy for Super Mutation Factor enhancement. 80 95 97

After questioning why Ye Xinglan was allowed to replace a Skysea Academy competitor, Chen promises to have Chen Qi’s victory classified as legitimate competitive confrontation and to intervene if Shrek refuses to let the matter rest. 80 81

The success of the enhanced soldiers excites him enough to inquire about using the technology himself. Learning that his natural-element Martial Soul is incompatible with the existing serum, he agrees to await Mo Yuan’s proposed Stigmata research. 102 103

Blood God Legion and the Abyss Tide

Chen delivers the enhanced soldiers and a Plane Isolation Cage Bomb to the Blood God Legion. During the Abyss Tide, he enters the isolation field to rescue Cao Dezhi and discovers that the field has freed him from Douluo Star’s Plane Laws. 105 107 111

With his Divine Origin Realm power unsealed, Chen kills the Transformation Emperor, overwhelms the Black Empress, and refuses the Abyssal Sage King’s offer to abandon humanity for godhood and immortality. 112 113

The Abyssal Sage King’s projection nevertheless overpowers him. Mo Yuan destroys the projection with Judgement of Shamash, then astonishes Chen, Zhang Huanyun, and Cao Dezhi by regenerating his destroyed body. Afterward, Chen explains the origin of his concealed spiritual breakthrough and asks whether Mo Yuan can create a Soul Tool that blocks the Plane Laws. 115

Federation Reform

Chen publicly reports the Abyss Tide’s success to the Military Department, using the Plane Isolation Cage Bomb’s victory to establish Anti-Entropy’s military importance. He also supports Mo Yuan as a future Federation Chairman and begins considering retirement from his own responsibilities. 121 161 167

At the same military meeting, he learns of Anti-Entropy’s Void Gravity Collapse Bomb proposal, studies it at length, and takes the folder away for further consideration. He postpones decisions on commendations for the Abyss Tide until the full battle report is available. 121

Chen and Fu Moxin select Mo Lan as a prospective assistant for Mo Yuan’s future leadership. Chen also considers the problem of his own succession, recognizing that Chen Zeyu does not yet possess the prestige required to lead the Military Department. 161 167

Attack on Shrek and the Spirit Pagoda Investigation

Chen rushes from Mingdu to Shrek City after the attack, arriving exhausted and immediately asking about Long Yeyue. Upon learning that she has been swallowed by the Demon Gate, he collapses in shock. Mo Yuan’s suggestion that she may still be alive restores his hope, and he swears to the sea that he will agree to any request in exchange for her rescue. 152

After agreeing to let Mo Yuan search for spatial coordinates, Chen confronts Qiangu Dongfeng. He reveals that a Holy Spirit Cult infiltrator has defected with three powerful Fixed Soul Guidance Cannon Shells and demands an explanation for the Spirit Pagoda’s audit proposal, which helped enable the theft. When Qiangu Dieting dismisses his accusations as speculation, Chen maintains that the Spirit Pagoda will be investigated. 152 153

Chen does not object when Yu Zhenshan places Shrek under Mo Yuan’s control. He considers the arrangement beneficial both for Shrek’s future protection and for his and Fu Moxin’s plan to support Mo Yuan politically. 153

Long Yeyue’s Recovery

After Long Yeyue is swallowed by the Gate of Demons, Chen becomes consumed by finding her. Mo Yuan eventually locates her in the Demon Plane, but her Spiritual Sea has been damaged and she no longer recognizes Chen. 152 181 182

Chen personally enters the Demon Plane through the passage opened with Star of Eden. When Long Yeyue attacks him on instinct, he restrains her, renders her unconscious, and carries her back to Sea God Island for Ya Li to examine. 181 182

Chen cares for Long Yeyue during her recovery and confesses his enduring love. When he learns of her hatred and the trauma surrounding their unborn child’s death, he chooses Mo Yuan’s plan to reconstruct her secondary personality and suppress the original personality. 183 184 185 186

His discovery occurs during a consciousness projection into her Spiritual Sea using Fenghuang Down. Unknown to Chen, Mo Yuan deliberately reinforces the memory of their lost child and destroys another memory while guiding the process. Chen experiences the resulting hatred without seeing that manipulation. 184

Mo Yuan then presents a choice: Chen can disappear from Long Yeyue’s life so her primary personality can recover, or remain with a secondary personality free of the hatred. After a night of deliberation, Chen chooses the latter and resolves never to reveal the truth to her. Mo Yuan completes the reconstruction, leaving the primary personality sealed. 185 186

Reunion, Election, and Withdrawal from Duties

Following Long Yeyue’s awakening, Chen spends two and a half months traveling the continent with her and visiting places they had once wished to see together. Chen Zeyu and Guan Yue keep his responsibilities running until Fu Moxin reprimands him and pushes him to resume attending to official affairs. 187

Chen calls Mo Yuan to ask whether he needs help with their political plan. Mo Yuan points out that Anti-Entropy has already built or upgraded the Sea God Legion’s warships, making Chen’s intervention unnecessary for securing its support. Long Yeyue then asks Chen to accompany her clothes shopping, and he ends the call. 187

When the Spirit Pagoda raises prices, Chen again offers Mo Yuan his support, this time through his influence in the Soul Master world. Mo Yuan declines because he already intends to counter the price increases with Anti-Entropy’s own Soul Spirits and Soul Ascension Platform services. 212

Chen and Long Yeyue attend the opening of the Federation election together. Fu Moxin teases him for abandoning their shared preparations to pursue his personal life, and Chen responds with an embarrassed smile rather than a retort. 224

During preparations for the offensive against the rival empires, Mo Yuan and Yu Guanzhi discuss the possibility of Chen commanding the expedition. Yu Guanzhi envies his freedom to travel with Long Yeyue and considers bringing him back to service, but no final command assignment is established. Chen Zeyu is identified as the Sea God Legion’s current commander. 229
