Background / History
Bai He Xun was severely injured after saving a little girl from a truck. Two months later, he remained hospitalized with fractures, had received no visitors apart from reporters, and was said to have changed markedly after the accident. Li Ningfeng's group visited him with his favorite meal, braised pork over rice 110.
Li Ningfeng approached Bai He Xun with the claim that he was needed to “save the world.” Together with Doctor Dugu, he recruited Bai He Xun for a mission to enter the Atom Universe, where radically different time flow could give him time to develop or obtain technology for Blue Star 111 123.
The mission used Brain-Machine Link technology to transfer his consciousness into another body. Bai He Xun feared that the procedure amounted to death, but Doctor Dugu described it as merely changing bodies 124. During his subsequent journey through space, he developed Mental Power and constructed a Mental World to counter isolation and continue his research 151.
Bai He Xun eventually recognized that he was not strictly the original human Bai He Xun. He regarded himself as a distinct life created from copied memories placed inside a mindless void creature, and refused to incorporate the extracted memories of other beings into his own identity 154.
Appearance
Bai He Xun no longer possesses a naturally human body. His true form is an energy- and atom-based Starry Sky Behemoth, though he can create realistic human bodies and environments inside his Mental World to preserve familiar sensations such as breathing and eating 154 162 164.
- Can reshape his energy-made body and conceal it beneath collected meteorite fragments 152.
- Uses tentacles to examine bodies, penetrate skulls, and extract memories 154 159.
- Can assume appearances drawn from memory within his Mental World, including Yue Qianfeng's form 161.
- Creates simulated furniture, food, physical sensations, and complete landscapes to imitate human life 154 162.
Personality
Bai He Xun is intensely cautious and distrustful of unfamiliar people and civilizations. After losing his parents and enduring repeated exploitation, he came to regard practical judgment, manipulation, and situational awareness as more valuable than mere knowledge. He refuses to expose his true body to Celestial Star without first understanding its dangers 158.
His outlook is highly analytical and increasingly detached. He treats memories as recoverable data, dissects cultivation through anatomy and computation, and experiments on captives with little concern for their pain 154 159 163. However, he deliberately simulates bodily sensations and human surroundings because he fears becoming wholly emotionless and hyper-rational 162.
Bai He Xun also has a dark, mischievous sense of humor. While impersonating Yue Hongchen's abusive father, he took pleasure in enforcing the role through psychological manipulation and physical punishment 161 162.
Abilities & Skills
Mental World Construction
Bai He Xun can use Mental Power and immense computation to create immersive internal worlds.
- Constructed a computer-filled Mental World to conduct research during his voyage through space 151.
- Can create functioning simulations of water, food, furniture, human bodies, landscapes, air, and other physical sensations 151 154 162.
- Recreated Li Cunzhen's life as an immersive viewing environment from extracted memory data 154.
- Can construct illusions tailored to a target's memories, such as Yue Hongchen's childhood room 161.
- His simulations help preserve his remaining connection to human experience, but do not restore naturally generated human emotions 154 162.
Memory Extraction and Analysis
Bai He Xun can access biological and spiritual information through direct probing.
- Uses tentacles to extract memories before neural decay destroys them 154.
- Combined Cultivator B's language data with Chinese to understand Celestial Star's human language 154.
- Analyzes internal anatomy and organ function through observation and computation 154.
- Examined Yue Hongchen's soul to verify that he had not lied about the cultivation knowledge taught to him 162.
Starry Sky Behemoth Physiology
His true body is an advanced lifeform made from atoms and high-energy particles rather than ordinary flesh.
- Can reshape his energy-based body to fit and conceal itself among meteorites 152.
- Transfers special particles into meteorites to control their movement and perceive their internal conditions 152.
- Uses meteorites as a protective outer disguise while observing stronger beings 152.
- His body may be naturally suited to bear the “Chaos” associated with the Supreme Realm, unlike ordinary human matter 164.
Cultivation Modeling
Bai He Xun studies Celestial Star's cultivation system through biological simulation rather than inherited doctrine.
- Identified the seven known realms: Coolie, Butterfly Transformation, Bone-Breaking, Unfettered, Void Crossing, Star Sea, and Supreme 162.
- Modeled the bodily changes of the Coolie and Butterfly Transformation Realms using humanoid phantoms 162 163.
- Interprets Divine Runes and cultivation phenomena through scientific concepts such as quantum manipulation and high-energy particles 158.
- Deduced that the Supreme Realm is connected to time, space, speed, mass, and a body capable of bearing rules 164.
- Has not yet calculated the exact method for reaching the Supreme Realm 164.
Relationships
- Li Ningfeng — Recruited Bai He Xun for the mission to save Blue Star, visited him in hospital, and later removed him from the hospital despite Bai He Xun's protests 111 113 114 123.
- Doctor Dugu — Researcher involved in the Brain-Machine Link transfer and Atom Universe mission; Bai He Xun retains resentment toward him over the Microverse experiments 123 124 156.
- Yue Hongchen — Captive experimental subject. Bai He Xun extracted information from his memories, invaded his consciousness, and impersonated his father to interrogate him 159 161 162.
- Li Cunzhen — Bai He Xun learned Li's life story from Cultivator B's memories and later considered using Li's corpse and bloodline to create an incarnation 154 164.
- Cultivator A and Cultivator B — Unidentified Celestial Star cultivators studied by Bai He Xun after their battle; Cultivator B's memories provided his first major source of local language and cultural information 153 154.
- Bai He Xun's parents — Their deaths shaped his enduring suspicion of society and strangers 158.
