Background / History

A stone tablet identified as a Tribulation Immortal divine weapon emerged in the Beast Cultivation Realm's trial grounds. It smashed through Ying Da's defensive techniques without harming him, resisted his attempts at control, and was pulled away by an unknown summoning force. 2114

By the time of Song Shuhang's digital Real Illusion, Dao was accompanying him and bore the inscription “Tomb of Song Shuhang.” It initially mistook the illusion's streams of binary code for something incomprehensibly vast, then became fascinated by Song Shuhang's explanation that 0 and 1 could create anything in the hands of programmers. 2260

Dao later took a position atop Ba Song's Tomb. By synchronizing with Song Shuhang through the integration of saber and man, it helped open a passage between the Nine Nether and the Dream Realm. 2670

Personality

Dao is curious, blunt, and readily admits confusion when faced with unfamiliar mundane-world concepts. After Song Shuhang described programming, it immediately grasped the potential of binary code but questioned whether he actually knew how to use it. 2260

It is cooperative toward Song Shuhang, addressing him as “Tomb Master” and remaining ready to assist when needed. 2670 2837 Dao also shows an interest in experimentation, volunteering to verify He Zhi Modi's research data in a dedicated experimental zone. 2541
