Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Golden Descendant | 1261 | Offers his Spark at the Genesis Vortex Heart and accepts the Oracle avatar’s trial of divinity. |
| Soul Bead bearer | 1379 | Receives eleven Soul Beads from the Nameless; Dan Heng explains that they increase Bai E’s survival chances and permit him to die eleven times. |
| Spirit-based object control | 1426 | Learns to concentrate his spirit and move objects, lifting Myriad Enemies’ phone while its owner is still holding it. |
| Body Refining Technique practitioner | 1425 1427 | Receives Yan Huan’s Body Refining Technique and develops limited near-ground levitation, rising roughly eight meters before exhaustion forces him down. |
| Enhanced Black Tide defender | 1464 | His strength visibly improves enough to help suppress the Black Tide around Okhma; the city cannot contain it with only the Demigod of Strife if Bai E and Dan Heng are absent. |
| Kefar | 1486 | Is identified as the new Kefar and begins confronting the implications of reshaping the world through that role. |
| Spark vessel and cycle traveler | 1585 1586 | In a reset world, uses Xi Lian’s ritual sword to travel back in time; one iteration later carries all twelve Sparks, though their power intensifies the rage within him. |
| Chaoslan / Destruction-branded cycle survivor | 1588 1590 1593 | Repeated failures deepen the brand of Destruction within him and lead alternate iterations to seize companions’ Sparks. A later Bai E identifies Chaoslan as Kefar’s mythological incarnation and a synonym for “Hero,” before his signal disappears from the cycle under Destruction’s influence. |
Background
Bai E grew up in Aili Mi Xie alongside Xi Lian. As a child, he wrote that he wished to protect the village with a sword from Whirlwind City and hoped the world would never need a Savior. He hid a wooden soldier in the village granary and was known for climbing walls and slipping away to play. 1573
He later identifies the Fire-stealer as the figure who destroyed Aili Mi Xie and killed his family, teacher, and other villagers. Encounters with the Fire-stealer repeatedly make him lose emotional control, even after his combat ability improves. 1433
The Oracle cards presented in Aili Mi Xie designate him as the Savior. Initially confused by the title, Bai E comes to accept that protecting others is his own choice rather than merely a predetermined role. 1576 1577
After Xi Lian sacrifices herself to reset the world, Bai E accepts that he must confront his own origin in Destruction to resist the force behind the Black Tide. He abandons the safety of the Aili Mi Xie memory and begins traveling through successive eras and cycles to seek a different future. 1585 1586
In a later cycle, Bai E explains that “Chaoslan” is not solely a personal name, but the mythological incarnation of Kefar and a title synonymous with a Hero. He ultimately relinquishes the Savior Oracle’s significance to entrust Yan Huan with the power of the past. 1590
Appearance
Bai E is a white-haired young man who usually carries a longsword. As a Golden Descendant, he possesses golden blood; it is visibly spilled after the Fire-stealer severely wounds him in battle. 1378 1474
- Wields a longsword in ordinary combat, though his earlier white-iron weapons frequently crack under stronger opponents. 1433
- Later receives the greatsword Invasion Dawn, which can ignite with golden flames. 1443
- In an Aili Mi Xie recreation, he wears a purple tunic and orange trousers that Aglaya and Yan Huan criticize as overly vivid. 1577
Personality
Bai E is competitive but not callous. He turns clearing Xuan Feng City into a friendly emblem-collecting contest with Myriad Enemies, yet recognizes that his rival is homesick and wants to spare him public embarrassment. 1198
He has long struggled with self-doubt, especially when asked to inherit divine authority or lead Okhma. He nevertheless accepts responsibility when Aglaya entrusts the city to him, choosing to address its citizens publicly rather than retreat from the burden. 1258 1442 1443
His compassion is central to how others judge him. Aglaya believes he understands and tolerates mortal flaws, while Bai E himself becomes increasingly aware that even powerful Golden Descendants can harm ordinary people through carelessness. 1442 1484
While disguised as an Earth Beast caretaker, Bai E listens to workers’ grievances over the Golden Descendants’ past behavior and feels ashamed rather than dismissing their criticism. This experience strengthens his awareness of the distance between heroes and ordinary citizens. 1484 1485
Despite the despair caused by countless failed cycles, Bai E persists in opposing fate and the gods’ imposed conclusion. His resolve can become ruthless, however, as alternate versions of him conclude that forcefully taking Sparks is the only way to continue resisting the Black Tide. 1588 1590
Abilities & Skills
Swordsmanship
Bai E is a trained swordsman capable of fighting Heavenly Condemnation Kin, cutting through divine-chain restraints, and directly confronting the Fire-stealer.
- Cuts away a tenth of the immense golden cocoon restraining Myriad Enemies with repeated strikes. 1171
- Defeats Heavenly Condemnation Kin while collecting Xuan Feng Emblems in Xuan Feng City. 1198
- Battles the Fire-stealer with Invasion Dawn, though the enemy initially breaks his armor and badly injures him. 1474
- His emotional hatred of the Fire-stealer can compromise his judgment in combat. 1291 1433
- Uses Invasion Dawn to behead Laigushi during their confrontation at the Genesis Vortex Heart, though the automaton continues speaking afterward. 1590
Golden Descendant Physiology
Bai E bears Golden Descendant status and is later treated as a demigod-level protector of Okhma.
- Possesses golden blood. 1261 1474
- Can withstand attacks from a Fire-stealer projection that would previously have knocked him unconscious. 1433
- Is regarded as one of Okhma’s principal defenders, despite public criticism that he lacks dramatic achievements compared with other Golden Descendants. 1387 1443
- His improved power helps suppress the Black Tide near Okhma, and city officials consider Bai E and Dan Heng essential to preventing its renewed expansion. 1464
Spirit Manipulation
Bai E can direct his spirit to manipulate objects at a distance.
- Demonstrates the technique by lifting Myriad Enemies’ phone—and its holder—into the air. 1426
- Learns the method while studying advanced techniques at the Enlightenment Throne. 1426
Body Refinement and Levitation
Bai E studies Yan Huan’s Body Refining Technique to improve his endurance, speed, and combat capability.
- Receives the manual from Yan Huan during his training at the Divine Enlightenment Tree Court. 1425
- Learns near-ground levitation and can rise roughly eight meters, though he can sustain it for only twenty-four seconds before becoming exhausted. 1427
Soul Beads
Eleven Soul Beads are placed within Bai E to improve his odds of surviving the crisis facing Onfaros.
- The beads were originally intended for other Golden Descendants. 1379
- Dan Heng states that they allow Bai E to die eleven times, though carrying them leaves him physically overwhelmed. 1379
Temporal Cycle Experience
Bai E becomes entangled in repeated world resets and attempts to alter Onfaros’ fate.
- Xi Lian gives him a ritual sword intended to return him to the beginning of time after her sacrifice. 1585
- In successive cycles, versions of Bai E inherit the prior version’s flame and memories. 1589
- His repeated failures eventually drive some iterations to seize Sparks from former companions by force. 1588
- During an early return, he secures Kryudera’s support, defeats the Titans with the power of the Sparks, and still fails to prevent the Black Tide from consuming the world. 1586
- The accumulated cycles intensify the rage and Destruction brand within him, leaving him increasingly willing to become the executioner of former allies. 1586 1588
- In a later parting, he transfers the power of the past to Yan Huan and declares that the Savior Oracle should belong to someone better suited to bear it. 1590
Cooking
Bai E is a capable cook with an interest in making the best use of ordinary ingredients.
- His cooking earns praise from a restaurant’s first customers, and he advocates obtaining better ingredients to improve the dishes further. 1610
- He defends his salad-making methods in a discussion with Myriad Enemies and admires the latter’s ability to turn simple ingredients into excellent food. 1633
Equipment
- Invasion Dawn — Greatsword forged by Hatonus from Bai E’s description of the Fire-stealer’s weapon. It is infused with Dawn Power and can be wreathed in golden flames. 1443
- Ritual sword — Crescent-shaped artifact entrusted to him by Xi Lian; sends him back to the start of a new story after her death. 1585

- White-iron longsword — His earlier training weapon; repeatedly breaks during simulated fights against the Fire-stealer. 1433
Relationships
- Yan Huan — Partner, ally, and trainer. Yan Huan accompanies Bai E through Xuan Feng City, gives him a Body Refining Technique, and helps him train against projections of the Fire-stealer. In later cycles, Bai E entrusts Yan Huan with the power of the past and faith in a future beyond the Savior’s failed path. 1198 1425 1433 1590
- Dan Heng — Trusted Nameless ally. Dan Heng supports Bai E in strategy discussions, explains the Soul Beads, and remains involved in Onfaros’ defense. 1299 1379 1453
- Myriad Enemies / Maidemos — Friendly rival and occasional ally. Their contests are intensely competitive, but Bai E recognizes their shared history as both rivalry and friendship. In later cycles, their relationship is tragically reduced to repeated confrontations over Myriad Enemies’ Spark. 1198 1474 1588
- Aglaya — Mentor and predecessor as Okhma’s leader. Aglaya leaves Bai E with a letter affirming his compassion and entrusts him with the city’s future. 1442 1443
- Xi Lian — Childhood friend and confidante. She guides Bai E through his identity as the Savior and later gives her life to reset the world. 1572 1576 1585
- Hatonus — Smith who forges Invasion Dawn for Bai E. 1443
- Saifeier — Ally in protecting Kefar’s Spark and confronting the Fire-stealer; she frequently challenges Bai E’s judgment and leadership ability. 1445 1474
- Fire-stealer — Bai E’s principal enemy, whom he holds responsible for Aili Mi Xie’s destruction. 1433 1474
- Nakshatra — Teacher whose sharp criticism follows Bai E from school lessons into the struggle against the cycle. 1378 1587
- Haiseyin — The Nameless Swordsman who assists the time-traveling Bai E in reaching Dawn Cloud Cliff and seeking an audience with Caesar Kryudera. 1585 1586
- Caesar Kryudera — Leader of the Journey of the Spark during the Golden War. After Bai E convinces her of the world’s hidden truth, she employs his power in the war against the Titans. 1585 1586
- Golden Shadow — The heroic figure within Bai E’s memories whom Bai E admires and ultimately leaves behind so that he can confront Destruction without hesitation. 1585

Story Role / Major Arcs
Xuan Feng City Campaign
Bai E joins Yan Huan and Myriad Enemies in the campaign against Nikadori. He proposes their Xuan Feng Emblem contest, clears Heavenly Condemnation Kin, and reaches the Soul Forging Zone beneath the Blade of Heavenly Condemnation. 1197 1198 1199
Trial of Divinity
Chosen as the Golden Descendant from Aili Mi Xie, Bai E offers his Spark at the Genesis Vortex Heart and enters a trial to confront his deepest fears. The ordeal forces him to confront the Black Tide, his lost homeland, and the danger of letting hatred govern his sword. 1261 1266 1291
Training and Succession
Seeking to become stronger, Bai E asks Yan Huan for harsh training and receives a Body Refining Technique. He develops spirit-based object control, gains Invasion Dawn, and succeeds Aglaya as Okhma’s leader after her departure. 1424 1426 1443
Fire-stealer Conflict
Bai E helps defend Okhma’s Sparks from the Fire-stealer. He fights beside Aglaya, Saifeier, Myriad Enemies, and other Golden Descendants, survives a devastating counterattack, and later participates in the Fire-stealer’s defeat. 1445 1474 1476
The Cycle of Onfaros
Bai E learns that countless versions of himself have survived to the end of different cycles, often at the cost of his companions. After Xi Lian resets the world, he travels back through time to change Onfaros’ fate, but repeated failures gradually push alternate versions of him toward despair and violence. 1582 1585 1588
During an early return to the Golden War, Bai E reaches Kryudera through Haiseyin, persuades her to abandon reliance on the Oracle, and defeats the Titans after gaining the twelve Sparks. However, this victory fails to stop the Black Tide, setting the precedent for the increasingly brutal methods of later iterations. 1585 1586
In a later cycle, Bai E parts from Yan Huan, entrusts him with the power of the past, and insists that his own destiny lies ahead. After awakening at the Genesis Vortex Heart, he refuses Laigushi’s demand that he accept the inevitable ending and attacks the automaton with Invasion Dawn. 1590
Illusionary Realm Interlude
While in the illusionary realm, Bai E works as a restaurant cook and contributes to its opening despite the kitchen staff’s inexperience. He later discusses cooking with Myriad Enemies while reaffirming his desire to return to Onfaros and contribute to its dawn. 1610 1633
