Background / History

Bai He spread Destiny seeds across the universe, cultivating individuals with suitable aptitude into Children of Destiny before eventually treating them as toys or disposable creations. Within the Yuan Tian Realm, he arranged the Calamity Force Field and Calamity Beasts to confine and pressure the Fated True Immortals. 496 500 539

As the Destiny Dao Lord, Bai He possessed a portion of his master's authority over destiny. He was drawn to abnormalities involving Dao Fruits, including Children of Destiny leaving the Yuan Tian Realm or an external Dao Fruit entering its vicinity. 539 624 765

Bai He repeatedly confronted Yun Shou's group in predicted futures, killing or torturing them while refusing to honor promises made in exchange for submission. His inability to affect Yun Shou directly through destiny eventually made Yun Shou an unusual and threatening target. 497 687 688

After becoming wary of an unspecified Dao Lord pursuing him, Bai He began covering himself in distorted space as protection. Yun Shou ultimately bypassed this defense and reduced Bai He's Essence to zero with Essence Reward and Punishment, leaving behind only his clothing and a hidden universe. 791 796 798

Personality

Bai He is sadistic, domineering, and malicious. He derives pleasure from forcing others into degrading acts, breaking their spirits through pain, and then reneging on any promise of mercy. 497 685

He considers the Children of Destiny he cultivated to be inherently disposable, comparing their purpose to food made to be consumed. Only other Dao Lords are worthy of standing on equal footing with him in his view. 500

Despite his usual arrogance, Bai He becomes fearful and erratic when confronted with forces beyond his understanding. Reading Yun Shou's memories shattered his confidence, while the prospect of a pursuing Dao Lord drove him into a defensive state. 687 791
