Chen Nian joined World Tree Academy, quickly proved his strength, and earned the right to undertake a mission in the vampire world of F-12. He arrived with recorder Nanako under rules that weakened his power and stepped in as a viscount threatened the vampire hunters.
Chen Nian rose through the Vampire Hunter Association while working with Ye Li and Ailina to confront the vampire princes and recover their sacred artifacts. After killing several princes and giving Ye Li the artifacts, he set out for the Eighth Prince’s castle with the blood banquet one day away.
Chen Nian helped Ye Li reclaim her power, defeated Cain and returned with her to Blue Star. After reconnecting with people from home, he met a future version of Rika, who revealed the danger awaiting her younger self and the fate of the world ten years ahead.
Chen Nian rescued Rika from erasure, then returned to the academy and earned a place on a mission to find Gao Yue. In G-23 World, he reunited An Qingluo with her sister An Ran, who left to join the Calamity forces as Mo Fu’s prophecy of a fatal confrontation drew closer.
Chen Nian finished the academy mission, returned to Blue Star, and traveled with Xiao Zhu to Mu Yun’s world, where he joined the Azure Profound Sect and pursued his own plans in Luoyang. The arc ended with Chen Nian discovering Mu Qingxuan bathing in a sealed cave and hiding behind a rock wall.
Chen Nian won the Sword Discussion Tournament and used the Nine-Character Mantra to help repel the Heavenly Demon Hall, then defied the Four Great Holy Lands to protect Mu Qingxuan. As Bo Yi awakened to his divine identity, Chen Nian returned to face the four Holy Lords’ Heavenly Dao formation while his friends remained captive.
Chen Nian helped Tamamo-no-Mae overcome her cultivation limits and traveled with her to C-04, where he protected Yu'er and the snake sisters from demon kings, Fahai, and Lingyou. Back at the academy, Chen Nian and Su Jinyu joined a mission to the Sixth Stratum, where their squad arrived in a battered world to confront Calamity.
Chen Nian defeated Demon Gods, rescued Tang Rou, and strengthened himself as the Calamity spread toward the Fifth Stratum. After defending Blue Star and covering the Lost Continent’s evacuation, he was stranded behind the sealed World Gate and rescued by Uesawa Ueki while the academy believed him likely dead.
Chen Nian underwent Divine Awakening, reunited with Luo Yueyao’s souls, and joined the Guardians to defeat the World Serpent. After defeating Jian Yang and restoring the strata, Chen Nian waited until Luo Yueyao awakened.
