Background / History

In his previous life, Chen Zhuo was a Main God Space participant forced to complete missions across several worlds. He reached the fourth-stage gene lock before dying during a mission involving Dou Sheng Qing Lin’s eyes in the Battle Through the Heavens world. Those eyes became his martial soul after fusing with the laws of his new world 2 3.

In Black Snake Village, he awakens innate full soul power, but Su Yuntao dismisses his eye martial soul as useless. The village’s River God demands sacrifices from inhabitants with soul power, placing both Chen Zhuo and Zheng Qingqing at risk. Chen volunteers in her place to repay the kindness of her father, village chief Zheng Xiu 1.

The River God proves to be a serpent—the ideal target for his eyes. Chen subdues it, turns its extracted soul into a soul spirit, and commands its sacrifice. Returning with a black soul ring and a giant serpent’s eye as proof, he ends the village’s sacrificial crisis and accepts Su Yuntao’s invitation to join Spirit Hall 2 3.

Appearance

Chen Zhuo’s most distinctive feature is his emerald-green eyes. Ye Xi and Ye Lingling also remark on his exceptional looks and bearing when meeting him at the Ye manor 5 23.

• Jade-green gaze: Appears calm and still, but can overwhelm spiritual attacks or compel serpentine targets into submission 5 7.
• Black soul rings: His first two rings astonish academy spectators; by twelve, he publicly displays three ten-thousand-year rings 13 19.
• Concealed arena identity: Disguises his age and soul-ring configuration when registering as Demon Eye 16.

Personality

Chen Zhuo is composed in danger without being passive. Having already died once, he accepts the possibility of death but prepares to strike back against the River God. He similarly endures prolonged, painful body tempering rather than abandon an opportunity to strengthen himself 2 10.

He treats secrecy as a practical defense. He invents a seven-ring cultivation ceiling to discourage Bibi Dong’s interest, conceals the lethal applications of his first skill, and presents copied soul skills through misleading explanations. His pursuit of godhood makes Spirit Hall’s internal competition comparatively unimportant to him 4 5 6 12.

Gratitude and generosity coexist with coercion. He repays Zheng Xiu’s twenty coins with ten thousand and supplies allies with rare herbs and soul bones, yet initially secures several followers through supernatural domination. He also exploits Xiao Wu’s death and steals opportunities associated with Tang San, whom he leaves alive out of caution about the plane’s “children of destiny” 7 8 14 15 18.

His social manner ranges from tactful to blunt. He acknowledges that the Golden Generation held back during their first encounter, but openly criticizes the Meng family’s cultivation progress. With friends, he is informal and willing to overlook flaws that do not cross his boundaries 5 6 15.

Abilities & Skills

Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils

After merging with the world’s laws, Chen Zhuo’s eyes possess conceptual authority over snakes, ignoring differences in soul-power level when affecting serpentine beings 2.

• Serpent domination: Controls snake soul beasts and snake-related soul masters, including the Transforming Serpent and Dugu Bo 2 7.
• Soul extraction: Extracts the Transforming Serpent’s soul, erases its savage nature, and converts it into a soul spirit 2.
• Permanent skill acquisition: Reads serpentine souls and devours their bloodlines; Chen uses this authority to copy controlled targets’ soul skills into his own soul rings 7 15 19.
• Spiritual confrontation: Overpowers Hu Liena’s charm attack when their eyes meet 5.
• Limit demonstrated: His influence over Dugu Yan dwindles to almost nothing after her martial soul evolves from a serpent into the Jade-Phosphorus Poison Jiao 9.

Soul Ring Skills

Ring	Skill	Source	Applications and limits
First	Man-Faced Calamity	The 99,990-year Transforming Serpent 2 5.	Applies water control to blood flow. Can cause dizziness, vomiting, internal bleeding, organ damage, or exploding heads; becomes more powerful with his cultivation and spiritual strength 5 11.
Second	Time Freeze	Copied from Dugu Bo 7.	Stops the surrounding area, immobilizes multiple opponents, and restrains powerful soul beasts. The skill requires substantial soul power; its precise upper limit remains unestablished 7 13 27.
Third	Netherdark Death Ray	Copied from Snake Granny’s twenty-thousand-year Netherworld Serpent ring 15.	Fires a penetrating single-target energy attack with an additional execution effect against weakened targets. Inflicts physical rather than spiritual damage 15 19.
Fourth	Snake Lance Soul-Extinguishing Kill	Copied from She Long’s ninth soul skill 19.	Damages both body and spirit, filling the offensive gap left by Netherdark Death Ray 19.

Gene Locks and Martial Arts

Chen combines martial-soul cultivation with a system focused on unlocking the body’s internal potential. His first-stage gene lock strengthens his physique and combat instincts, making it particularly compatible with soul-ring absorption requirements 3.

• Five-Element Fist and Twelve Animal Forms: Carries knowledge of both from his previous life 5.
• Snake-Form Fist: Uses evasive footwork, unusual bodily twists, and attacks on vulnerable points; reaches major mastery 5 6.
• Chicken-Form Fist: Develops rapid close-range attacks through an Angry Sun Chicken bloodline potion 5 6.
• Dragon Form: Remains the outstanding form in his training; acquiring dragon-blood material is a major expedition goal 17 27.
• Constitution-based advancement: Recognizes that stronger bodies can tolerate older early soul rings, including through whale glue supplementation 3 11.

Main God Space and Potion Refinement

The surviving Main God Space fragment binds itself to Chen Zhuo as a tool. It retains its database and exchange functions but can no longer transport him between worlds or impose its former cycle of missions 2.

• Administrator privilege: Receives twice the normal point value for sacrificed valuables 2.
• Scanning and capture: Identifies the Transforming Serpent and later helps capture an Azure Thunder Horned Dragon 2 27.
• Bloodline potions: Refines creatures into genetic potions, including Transforming Serpent and Angry Sun Chicken formulations 2 6.
• Herbal preparations: Converts immortal herbs into body-tempering, elemental, and mental-strength potions 9 10.
• Resource selection: Rejects ultimate ice and ultimate fire for himself because they do not complement his martial soul 10.

Enhanced Senses and Resistance

• Water-fire tempered body: Resists poison, water, and fire, but not their ultimate forms 10.
• Spirit Sea mental power: Surveys his surroundings without opening his eyes 10.
• Enhanced eyesight: Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew grants penetrating vision; he initially blindfolds himself while the new ability remains difficult to control 10.

Cultivation Guidance

Chen uses knowledge, herbs, and tailored training to improve his followers rather than merely increase their current soul-power levels 9 16.

• Guides Dugu Bo through poison purification and the formation of the Douluo Plane’s first soul core, raising him from level 92 to 95 9.
• Selects immortal herbs that improve Dragon Duke’s martial-soul potential and mutate Meng Yiran’s cane into the Dragon-Snake Scepter 16.
• Gives She Long herbs that repair weaknesses in his foundation and enable his rise to level 95 19 20.
• Prioritizes defensive and evasive options for Dugu Yan’s fourth ring rather than adding unnecessary offensive skills 27.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone — Hundred-thousand-year soul bone granting flight and severed-limb regeneration 18.
• Soft Bone Rabbit right arm bone — Xiao Wu’s hundred-thousand-year bone. Grants teleportation within one hundred meters without cooldown and Invincible Golden Body, usable three times daily to resist damage below the divine level 18.
• Water Severer — Saber-shaped external soul bone obtained from the Transforming Serpent. Used against Xie Yue, then given to Dugu Bo to help manage his poison; Dugu Bo subsequently masters it 2 5 8 9.
• Platinum storage ring — Gift from Ma Xiunuo containing a twenty-square-meter storage space and one thousand Gold Soul Coins 3.
• Wishful Hundred-Treasure Pouch — Dugu family heirloom capable of storing living creatures, handed over by Dugu Bo 10.
• Nine-Section Jade snake — Formerly Dugu Bo’s bonded venomous beast; Chen claims it as a pet. Its venom can incapacitate even a Titled Douluo 10.
• “Nine” token — Protective token from Su Rou bearing two short-handled axes and the character “Nine” 6.
• Immortal herbs and whale glue — Collects more than a dozen varieties of immortal herbs and commissions the purchase of high-aged whale glue for cultivation and commercial leverage 10 11 14.
• Purple-Gold Badge — Earned through thirty-eight consecutive team victories in the Great Soul Arena 17.

Relationships

• Zheng Xiu — Early benefactor. Chen volunteers for sacrifice in his daughter’s place and later sends him ten thousand Gold Soul Coins 1 14.
• Zheng Qingqing — Fellow villager and former traveling companion. Her contempt after becoming Bibi Dong’s disciple prompts Chen to distance himself 4 6.
• Su Yuntao — Awakening examiner and Spirit Hall sponsor; revises his judgment after seeing Chen’s first black ring 1 3.
• Ma Xiunuo — Early patron who provides lodging, a storage soul tool, and money 3.
• Su Rou — Supportive headmistress and mentor. Gives him protection, oversees early graduation, and writes his recommendation for further study in Heaven Dou 6 12 14.
• Hu Liena — Friend and prospective training partner. Initially approaches him with political calculations, but welcomes him into the Golden Generation’s circle 6 13.
• Xie Yue and Yan — Rivals turned friends; offer academic help and part with promises of future matches 5 6 14.
• Bibi Dong — Spirit Hall authority who declines to accept him as a disciple because of his fabricated limitation, then recognizes his usefulness after his graduation match 4 13.
• Dugu Bo — Dominated servant, protector, and public family connection. Chen cures his poisoning and helps him become a Super Douluo; their supposed biological kinship is a cover story 7 9 12.
• Dugu Yan — Trainee and publicly presented sister. Initially controlled by his eyes; after her evolution weakens that influence, she continues to trust him and develops romantic feelings whose reciprocation is unconfirmed 7 9 22 27.
• Meng Yiran — Trainee entrusted to him by her grandparents. Receives a martial-soul mutation and demanding arena training 16 17.
• Chao Tianxiang and Meng Shu — Snake Granny falls under his influence; Dragon Duke becomes his grateful ally after receiving an immortal herb and later Xiao Wu’s soul ring 15 16 18.
• She Long — Secretly aligned Snake Lance Douluo. Publicly seeks to accept Chen as a disciple after Chen’s herbs enable his breakthrough 19 20 21.
• Qian Renxue — Political partner. Chen exposes her hidden identity, offers cultivation resources and succession advice, and requests control over the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and access to the Thunder Dragon Nest 19 20 21.
• Ye Lingling — Dugu Yan’s friend and later expedition companion. Receives nine-grade purple ganoderma from Chen and becomes interested in him 22 23 24.
• Tang San — Target of strategic interference. Chen avoids killing him because of possible protection by destiny, instead taking resources and seeking to keep the Sea God’s inheritance object from him 18 21.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Spirit City Academy

Chen conceals his martial soul’s true potential by claiming that it cannot advance beyond a seven-ring Soul Sage. At the academy, he defeats persistent challengers without soul skills, then withstands a restrained confrontation with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan that develops into friendship 4 5 6.

At ten, he earns A+ results in seven written subjects and defeats seven opponents in his graduation assessment, including level-31 Sun Chuantao. Bibi Dong approves early graduation and assigns him to Hu Liena’s special training. He instead obtains Su Rou’s recommendation to continue his development in Heaven Dou 12 13 14.

Dugu Manor and Resource Building

Chen takes control of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, establishes himself as Dugu Manor’s young master, and uses the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to transform their cultivation and his own physique. He collects herbs that would otherwise have supported the Shrek Seven Devils 7 8 9 10.

He turns a seventy-thousand-year tiger soul bone into one hundred million Gold Soul Coins and directs purchases of high-aged whale glue. A separate commission to obtain crystal blood dragon ginseng ends with Dugu Bo destroying most of the Speed Clan; Chen does not pursue the surviving Bai He and Bai Chenxiang 11 12 14 15.

Arena Training and Xiao Wu’s Soul Ring

After strengthening the Meng family, Chen trains Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran through Great Soul Arena matches. Over two years, his group earns Purple-Gold Badges while he develops the animal forms of his martial arts 16 17.

He arranges to use Xiao Wu’s hundred-thousand-year ring for Dragon Duke’s ninth ring and gains her arm bone alongside the Blue Silver Emperor’s hidden leg bone. Absorbing both brings him to the level-40 threshold and greatly improves his survival abilities 17 18.

Qian Renxue Alliance

Chen stages a meeting with Qian Renxue to establish his value, secretly acquire She Long’s strongest skill, and offer the guard carefully selected herbs. She Long’s breakthrough and the strength of Chen’s other allies persuade Qian Renxue to reconsider her initial hostility 19 20.

Rather than accept a Platinum Bishop post, Chen seeks the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. His immediate priority is keeping it out of Tang San’s hands; he also exchanges gifts and goodwill for assistance entering the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan’s secret realm 20 21.

Thunder Dragon Nest Expedition

Chen enters the Thunder Dragon Nest seeking dragon-blood material and suitable rings for his companions. He deliberately draws Purple Lightning Horned Dragons into the party’s path to create a diversion, then leaves with Dugu Yan for the deeper Dragonbone Abyss 24 25 26.

There, a Red-Scaled Flame Python serves as their mount. Chen captures a roughly forty-thousand-year Azure Thunder Horned Dragon for potion research and immobilizes a twelve-thousand-year Golden Earth Dragon King for Dugu Yan’s fourth ring. His unexplained ring acquisition leads her to mistake him for a soul beast cultivating in human form 26 27.
