Background

Bai Ze was a senior and highly respected demon whose prestige among the Demon Race rivaled that of Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Though he was less formidable in cultivation and spiritual treasures than the two brothers, he was regarded as one of the race's foremost minds. He willingly supported their rise as Demon Emperors for the sake of the Demon Race rather than seeking the position himself. 210 213

He approached Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi on the Sun Star with a proposal to unite the scattered Demon Race, establish a Demon Court, resist the expanding Witch Clan, and ultimately contend for control of Honghuang. His planning later made him a central figure in the Heavenly Court: one of the Ten Great Demon Saints, commander of its armies, and architect of the South Heaven Gate dividing Demon and Witch territories. 36 70 86

Appearance

Bai Ze is depicted wearing a black robe when he visits the Sun Star to meet Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. 36

• Usually carries himself with a calm, composed demeanor in formal negotiations. 36 229
• His rare displays of anger are noticeable enough for Heavenly Court guards to remark upon them. 116

Personality

Bai Ze is cautious, analytical, and intensely devoted to the long-term survival of the Demon Race. Rather than pursuing domination at any cost, he recognizes the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation as an existential threat and believes the race's true priority should be preserving its people through the coming calamity. 212

His greatest flaw in court politics is bluntness. Bai Ze speaks directly when he believes Di Jun or Eastern Emperor Taiyi are endangering the Demon Race, even when doing so challenges their authority. This integrity earns him respect among many demons but ultimately contributes to his dismissal from the Heavenly Court. 208 209 216

After joining the Xuantian Sect, he becomes more open and lenient in his dealings with recruits, judging prospective disciples by character rather than strength alone. He remains proud and competitive, particularly around Shaohao, yet is willing to acknowledge superior strength. 328 330 388

Abilities & Skills

Strategic Planning and Military Command

Bai Ze is the Demon Race's principal strategist and a former commander of the Heavenly Court's armies.

• Proposed the creation of the Demon Court to consolidate the Demon Race against the Witch Clan. 36
• Developed wartime tactics, including trapping Witch Clan warriors in swamps for coordinated Daoist-artillery attacks. 70
• Planned the South Heaven Gate as a strategic border between Demon and Witch territories. 86
• Consistently advocates diplomacy and restraint when open conflict would expose the Demon Race to greater danger. 116 150

Calculation and Foresight

Bai Ze is skilled in calculation and reads political and heavenly trends with unusual clarity.

• Recognizes that the Demon Race is entangled in the world-ending calamity and may face extinction. 212
• Foresees that Di Jun's attempt to gain Merit through an earlier grand wedding could provoke Fuxi and disgrace the Heavenly Court. 209 211
• Understands that remaining in the Heavenly Court would leave him unable to protect either himself or the broader Demon Race. 212 214

Quasi-Saint Combat

Despite being valued primarily for his wisdom, Bai Ze is a powerful late-stage Quasi-Saint.

• Can contend with ordinary Ancestral Witches. 213
• Drives off Asura Clan members through the force of his voice and blocks the Blood Sea's waves with a beam of light. 304
• Duels Shaohao for nearly an entire day; Bai Ze cannot injure him, but Shaohao also cannot break through Bai Ze's attacks. 328
• Is ultimately inferior to Eastern Emperor Taiyi in direct combat and is exhausted after Taiyi's spiritual treasure absorbs his power. 396

Sect Administration and Recruitment

As Xuantian Sect's Vice Sect Leader, Bai Ze is entrusted with its day-to-day development.

• Expands the Xuantian Sect into a major force through recruitment, management, and his standing among the demons. 219
• Recruits talented disciples from multiple races and prioritizes conduct and potential over raw strength. 337 388
• Acts as Fuxi's envoy in negotiations with the Dragon Clan, securing nine pure-blooded dragons for Fuxi's wedding carriage and conveying the offer for the clan to join the sect. 229 230
• Bears responsibility for defending the Xuantian Sect's reputation when Demon Race rumors hinder recruitment. 394 395

Relationships

• Nuwa — Co-leader of the Xuantian Sect whom Bai Ze respectfully addresses as Empress Nuwa. Her connection to the Human Race makes Bai Ling's rescue a sensitive matter. 215 304 306
