Lin Chen opens his eyes amid the smoke of World War II in the Marvel Universe. The Star Ring on his finger hums. Within it lies the all-encompassing “Starsea of Myriad Worlds”: billions of galaxies and endless continents, along with the meridian arts and inner power of wuxia, the laws of immortality from xianxia, the sources of superpowers, futuristic technology, and even the seeds of civilization from every novel and movie universe. All of it is his to command.
At the time, war is engulfing the world, and Xia is struggling through hardship. Lin Chen grips the Star Ring, wielding the foresight of someone reborn and the resources of countless worlds. On the Marvel battlefield, he fights alongside Captain America and joins the Avengers in facing one crisis after another. From Hydra's schemes to Thanos's snap, from the chaos of the Kang Dynasty to conflicts across the multiverse, he is never absent from a single cosmic struggle. At the same time, he quietly helps Xia grow stronger: using martial arts training to strengthen soldiers and civilians, improving farming with adapted xianxia techniques, supporting the beginnings of industry with science-fiction blueprints, and cultivating local heroes with knowledge of superpowers.
To Marvel's heroes, he is the “mysterious powerhouse from the East.” To Xia, he is the hidden force behind its rise. Amid the glow of the Tesseract and the radiance of xianxia treasures, amid the roar of Iron Man Armor and the surging force of inner power, Lin Chen uses the Star Ring as a bridge, allowing the Eastern dragon to quietly spread its wings amid the storms of the Marvel Universe, until it becomes a steadfast pillar spanning planets and star seas.
