Background / History

Bai Chen is an Innate Divine Beast who rejects being treated as Yuan Feng’s pet beast, insisting that he and Yuan Feng are equal friends. Yuan Feng once saved him from being used as Qilin Clan cannon fodder, establishing a long-standing bond between them 1 7.

After transforming, Bai Chen discovered a fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation. He used its power to locate secret realms, break restrictions, and search for spiritual treasures. His early schemes included manipulating Houtu and Xuanming into helping him open a secret realm and bargaining with the Innate Gourd Vine for its Innate Breathing Soil 2 9 13 14.

Bai Chen’s initial encounter with Nuwa and Fuxi established his characteristic relationship with both siblings. He demanded recognition as “Great God Bai Chen,” rejected Fuxi’s mockery, and quickly became one of Nuwa’s favored companions despite her habit of treating him like a pet cat 1 2.

He later travelled through the Primordial Era under disguises, including the identity of “Bai Ze,” raiding unattended dojos and taking spiritual treasures. His activities earned him a notorious reputation among the Innate Great Gods, while his connections to Nuwa, Yuan Feng, Houtu, Xuanming, and Ancestor Yang Mei protected him from immediate retaliation 43 44 86 123.

Bai Chen attended Saint Hongjun’s sermons and quickly distinguished himself through his knowledge of cultivation, the Three Thousand Laws, and the methods of Proving the Dao. He understood the limitations of the Slaying the Three Corpses method but intended to use it to reach the Half-step Dao Proving realm before focusing on the Great Dao 48 63 73 76.

As his strength and influence grew, Bai Chen became involved in the struggles between the Demon Clan, Witch Clan, Phoenix Clan, Human Race, and various Saint factions. He repeatedly used political pressure, bargains, threats, and spiritual treasures to secure advantages for himself and his allies 125 140 181 221.

Bai Chen later helped Houtu complete the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Prove the Dao, expending enormous amounts of Merit and Fortune and contributing Pangu Essence Blood to stabilize the system 250 256. He also aided the Human Race, acted in matters concerning the Human Emperors, and eventually became Heavenly Emperor 352 418 429 515.

Appearance

Bai Chen usually appears as a large, plump white cat with a soft belly and a distinctive, imposing presence. Although others often mistake him for a mere pet beast, his true form possesses physical strength and durability comparable to, or exceeding, those of the Ancestor Witches 1 4 238 471.

• White feline body with a notably plump build.
• Fierce triangular eyes.

Personality

Bai Chen is cunning, greedy, shameless, and highly opportunistic. He routinely turns assistance, protection, and information into transactions, often demanding spiritual treasures, Merit and Fortune Coins, or future karma in return 92 125 140.

He is also confident to the point of arrogance. Bai Chen mocks stronger or more highly ranked beings, provokes opponents, and treats public humiliation as a legitimate weapon. His confidence is supported by his speed, defensive treasures, powerful laws, and numerous escape methods 64 66 131 286.

Despite his selfish schemes, Bai Chen is protective of close friends and allies. He repeatedly helps Yuan Feng, Houtu, Xuanming, Nuwa, and the Human Race, although he often expects payment, recognition, or influence in return 9 181 256 352.

He considers himself righteous even while using deception, extortion, and ambushes. His preferred justification is that his actions prevent future disasters or punish beings who have wronged him 33 101 260 410.
