The author considers the existence of global in time solution for a semilinear heat equation with exponential nonlinearity \[ \left\{ \begin{aligned} \partial_tu=\Delta u+e^u,\quad x\in \mathbb R^N,t>0, \\ u(x,0)=u_0(x),\quad x\in \mathbb R^N, \end{aligned} \right. \eqno(P) \] where \(u_0\) is a continuous initial function. When \(u_0\) decays to \(-\infty\) at space infinity, the author study the optimal decay bound classifying the existence of global in time solutions and blowing up solutions for (P). In particular, the author point out that the optimal decay bound for \(u_0\) is related to the decay rate of forward self-similar solutions of \[\partial_tu=\Delta u+e^u.\]
