Background

Lin Baici originally planned for an ordinary future: attend a good university, find stable work in a major city, support his mother, and build a family. Becoming a God Hunter changed those priorities; he became reluctant to surrender his freedom to an organization and instead sought Divine Graces, God's Taboo Objects, Meteorite Stones, and Divine Remains. 160

Xia Hongyao recognized his potential early and chose him as the first member of her Security Bureau team. Although he initially hesitated over institutional control, he later joined the Haijing Security Bureau. 56 196

His growth was exceptionally rapid. Within roughly a year of becoming a God Hunter, he rose from rookie status to Nine Provinces Dragon Wing, gained a reputation as “Haijing Lin God,” and became known for purifying major God's Ruins. 620 726 767
