Chen Fan

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Chen Fan was a transmigrator born as the son of the Chen Lineage’s head. Hoping to reverse ten thousand years of decline, the lineage nearly emptied its coffers to send him to Empress Cliff as an infant. He became Great Emperor Xuanji’s disciple, but she departed to reincarnate when he was three, seeking to overcome her cultivation’s limitations 1 7.

The family’s remaining members dispersed in search of ways to restore its fortunes. His father disappeared while seeking a solution, his mother returned to her birth lineage for assistance, and the ancestors, elders, and disciples infiltrated outside factions to acquire skills. By twenty-three, Chen Fan was guarding the depleted estate alone 1.

His circumstances changed when the Invincible Desolate Ancient Aristocratic Family System activated. After receiving three exceptional innate gifts and Great Emperor cultivation, he assumed responsibility for rebuilding the family. Rather than merely replacing his father as lineage head, he declared himself its ancestor under the family’s rule that the strong could hold that position 1 7 8.

Appearance

• Youthful and exceptionally handsome: His first appearance compares him to a banished immortal descended into the mortal world 1.
• Majestic bearing: After becoming a Great Emperor, he adopts a profound, composed presence, frequently standing with his hands behind his back 1 201.
• Golden bone markings: His Supreme Bone manifests luminous markings across his body when activated 129.
• Enlarged divine body: Outside the lower world’s Heavenly Dao suppression, he can greatly enlarge his body without sacrificing agility 200.

Personality

Chen Fan places the Chen Lineage’s survival above personal prestige. He invests time in correcting low-level cultivation manuals for future generations, distributes resources that no longer benefit him, and argues that reviving the lineage matters more than pursuing personal advancement alone 8 301 404.

He is ruthless toward enemies but does not invariably choose extermination. He kills opponents who threaten his family, yet preserves useful factions as subordinates and binds defeated ancient-clan leaders through contracts rather than destroying their clans 15 18 48 164.

Despite his confidence, he prefers preparation, concealed trump cards, and dependable support. He hides his cultivation when necessary, tests unfamiliar allies, and rejects splitting up for treasure hunting when it would expose his companions to unnecessary danger 129 178 329 587.

His private manner is irreverent and playful. He argues with the system, jokes about becoming an ancestor, enjoys the protection of powerful wives without embarrassment, and takes pleasure in watching others discover his complicated family connections 1 7 203 822. He is also an encouraging teacher: when Xiao Yu displays no exceptional aptitude, he gives her a suitable scripture and promises support rather than dismissing her 45.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Restoring the Fallen Chen Lineage

After his first sign-in, Chen Fan rejects the assumption that his family is helpless. He accepts Bai Fengyao as a disciple despite outside objections, reunites with returning undercover relatives, and establishes himself as the lineage’s ancestor. His early work combines military force with practical improvements to its scriptures and defenses 1 4 6 8.

His killing of Great Emperor Taihuang removes a higher-realm opponent and yields the Taihuang Bell. He subsequently subjugates the Heavenly Abyss Domain’s Saint-tier powers, using their manpower rather than indiscriminately destroying them 18 48.

Recovering His Mother and Building a Regional Power

Chen Fan confronts the Yang Lineage after discovering his mother’s imprisonment. Arriving aboard his warship, he calls for Yang Lingqing directly and searches for her with his perception, reducing the family’s ancestors to submission 53.

He expands the Chen city, installs cultivation monuments and secret realms, recalls undercover disciples, and assigns returning specialists to the family’s institutions. After the destruction of Great Xia and the Jun Lineage, the Chen family gains the opportunity to rise into a top-tier Desolate Ancient Domain lineage 64 66 76 89 92.

Supremacy on the Desolate Ancient Continent

Chen Fan defeats Shen Wusheng and completes the mission to become the domain’s foremost Great Emperor. He binds the patriarch through a Great Dao Contract, then uses similar contracts to settle the Ancient Dragon Clan conflict without exterminating the clan 159 160 164.

His subsequent divine cultivation creates a new danger: his own power can overwhelm his homeland’s Heavenly Dao. He suppresses himself and uses the Divine Gate rather than forcibly breaking out of the continent 178 185.

Establishing the Eternal Realm Foothold

After reaching the Eternal Realm, Chen Fan receives missions centered on building an enduring God Clan, founding divine factions, and cultivating bloodline disciples. His discoveries also reveal that the Chen family’s history extends well beyond the Desolate Ancient Continent 203 232.

The Eternal Palace Master’s pursuit of his space-time origin brings him into conflict with established divine powers. Chen Fan counters through his cultivation, the Cosmic Void Raging Flame, and support from previously hidden clanswomen. The Slaughter Divine Hall subsequently submits to him 263 275 297 298.

Jade Phoenix Alliance and the Wider Chen Network

Chen Fan refuses the Jade Phoenix Empress’s offer of discipleship, but their relationship develops into an alliance and marriage. Her protection, his ancestral treasures, and the Devil Ancestor’s intervention expose further connections between the Chen Lineage and the Void Heaven God Clan 323 329 371 419.

Returning home, he discovers his younger sister and brings the continental ancestors into contact with the family’s outside branches. He also upgrades the home city after finding that the continent itself has risen in grade 388 389 391.

Creation God Tomb and Supreme-Power Cultivation

Chen Fan uses Chu Qingyun as leverage to seek entry into the Creation God Tomb, claiming it may be his family’s ancestral tomb. Inside, he demonstrates control over its treasures and sends Xu Tianxue to defeat the group that attacks him 496 515.

His pursuit of greater strength then centers on extraordinary powers rather than ordinary resources. The Grand Beginning Embers, Taiji Primordial Jade, and Primordial Fallen Qilin successively support his rise, while the Primordial Goddess becomes both a cultivation partner and a protector 569 619 669 676.

Outer Chaos and the Supreme Selection

In the Primordial Graveyard, Chen Fan gains recognition after saving Supreme Lingxiao and eliminating the demons there. The gathered Supremes acknowledge him as the graveyard’s God-Chosen 791.

He later advances through the Supreme Alliance selection, defeats Zhou Huang, and reaches the final against Ancient God Yuan. Winning completes his system mission to become strongest beneath Supreme and immediately triggers his ascension into the Supreme Realm 825 827 830.

Reunification and the New Era

After gathering the Supreme Ancestors, Chen Fan calls for a search across the star domains to recover more scattered family members. He eventually returns to the Desolate Ancient Continent with the wider lineage, Guardian God Clans, wives, disciples, and subordinates 843 879.

In the final chapter, the family strengthens passages between its ancestral homes. Encouraged by the Supreme Alliance Leader, the First Ancestor, and the Guardians, Chen Fan attempts to rise beyond Supreme rather than leave the coming era’s burden entirely to a child. His breakthrough coincides with Bai Fengyao’s twins being born and brings the new era ahead of time 882.
