Background / History

Liu Bai entered the setting with access to game-like mods, gacha items, and a personal inventory system. One of his earliest pulls was the Companion Doll: Guinaifen, which transformed into Guinaifen when he pulled its thread. 4

World Serpent records identified him as a war orphan adopted by Natasha/Raven, apparently providing him with a workable household registration and cover identity. Despite having been in the conflict for only days, he had already established a foothold among World Serpent personnel. 19

He immediately pursued physical improvement through training manuals, potions, and practical combat. His rapid progress drew attention from veteran fighters, who noted that he had gone from an ordinary person to someone capable of defending against Rita within a few days. 20 167

Personality

Liu Bai is intelligent, emotionally steady, and prone to approaching reality through game mechanics, resource efficiency, and long-term planning. He considers faction favorability, summon value, equipment effects, and political consequences before committing to a course of action. 23 141 252

His practical nature can make him eccentric or unsettling to those around him. He strips defeated Deathless for alchemical materials, manages their loyalty through potions, and openly considers how to turn enemies into sustainable resources. 30 138 467

Despite this ruthlessness, Liu Bai is protective of his companions and soldiers. He is reluctant to expend Valkyries as disposable assets, worries about losing Guinaifen and Firefly, and delegates work when his own condition declines. 640 741 958

He can initially overthink in battle, but learns quickly once he recognizes a mistake. During his first spar with Rita, he performed worse after trying to rationally predict her techniques rather than trusting his instincts; he later refined his parries through continuous combat practice. 64 264

Story Role / Major Arcs

World Serpent and Schicksal

Liu Bai begins as an unpredictable new factor among World Serpent and Schicksal. Rather than choosing a side outright, he seeks to balance the two organizations, exploit their systems, and eventually infiltrate Schicksal through both mods and personal ability. 23

Sky Dome Zone and the Deathless Ranch

While clearing the Sky Dome Zone, Liu Bai turns Deathless enemies into a managed force. He uses Elixirs of Love to secure the Thunderfly Brute’s loyalty, collects Deathless materials for alchemy, and later oversees a ranch where Deathless evolve into forms such as Thunderfly Shamans and Mirror Maidens with emerging emotions and social relationships. 138 467

Liyue and Chi You

Liu Bai joins Huang Quan in defeating Chi You, after which he assigns Orobashi to clear remaining sea-bound Honkai Beasts while Liyue forces take over urban cleanup. 358

His role in the crisis earns him substantial standing in Liyue. His reputation reaches 92 out of 100, while Liyue’s recovery and low casualty count are attributed largely to his forces and allies. 382

Expansion of Influence

Liu Bai’s personal network grows into a political force connecting World Serpent, Inazuma, Liyue, Anti-Entropy, Schicksal, and the Company. His growing influence creates expectations that he will pacify Schicksal, bring Otto into a wider coalition, and help unify the world. 318 433 784

Xianzhou Recruitment and Military Preparation

Liu Bai expands his roster through summons, bringing in figures such as Fu Xuan and Jingliu. He builds training programs for Valkyries, uses summoned units as controlled opponents, and recruits experienced fighters as instructors for a larger force. 741 742 843

Trivia

• Liu Bai’s cells are incompatible with transplantation, including for Guinaifen. 25
• Fu Xuan is unable to divine his future because he possesses too many possible outcomes. 742
• He briefly pursued fabric collection after retrieving underwear Rita had kept as a “gift.” 415
• Liu Bai’s preference for treating powerful summoned units as people rather than disposable assets becomes increasingly visible as his organization expands. 467 640 741
