Background / History
Dai Tian is the third son of Emperor Dai Yutian and Fan Caiyun, a former Blood Sect holy maiden. Born gravely frail, he survives after his father orders a blood ritual supplied first by Soul Beasts and then by soldiers and officials. Caiyun had also used the forbidden Blood Qi Embryo Nurturing art before his birth 129 130.
His soul comes from a modern Earth worker who died in a traffic accident. In the Star Luo palace, Dai Tian grows up apart from his mother, who is confined to the Cold Palace, and rarely sees his father. A wet nurse raises him. Aware of the empire’s deadly succession struggle, he spends his first six years secluded in the palace, training his body and unsuccessfully trying to activate the system that came with him 130.
Dai Yutian personally conducts his awakening in a hidden, otherworldly setting. The ceremony leaves Dai Tian unconscious, but reveals a White Tiger powerful enough to force the emperor to his knees. Dai Yutian names him crown prince; his new status also leads to Caiyun’s release from the Cold Palace. While unconscious, Dai Tian encounters the chained Divine Beast White Tiger, which recognizes his Chinese origin and urges him to grow stronger 131 132 133 134.
On waking, Dai Tian summons a smaller version of that tiger as his Martial Soul. His Fate Exchange System then activates, giving him a means to gain power by changing other people’s fates 135.
Appearance
At six, Dai Tian has a composed, regal bearing, but his coloring differs sharply from the imperial family’s usual blond hair and gold-and-blue eyes 130.
- Snow-white hair and eyebrows 130.
- A blood-red left eye and golden-yellow right eye 130.
- An appearance described as distinctly sinister 130.
Personality
Dai Tian is cautious and observant beneath his outward composure. He notices when Eunuch Wang takes an unfamiliar route to the awakening ceremony and fears his father’s unexpected attention, yet keeps his alarm hidden. His adult memories also make him unusually mature for his age 130 131.
He misses his parents from his former life and hopes to return to them. At the same time, the succession struggle makes strength a matter of survival. He judges the White Tiger Slaughter Art by whether it can help him grow stronger, while acknowledging that its power depends on the practitioner’s choices 130 136.
Abilities & Skills
Divine Beast White Tiger Martial Soul
Dai Tian’s awakened Martial Soul is a juvenile, sealed form of the White Tiger he encounters while unconscious 132 134 135.
- At awakening, its aura overwhelms Dai Yutian even after the emperor activates his Martial Soul Avatar 132.
- The form Dai Tian can summon is much smaller than the chained tiger and lacks its wings, chains, and revolving blood-red ring 135.
- Maturing it through the system would cost 100,000 Fate Points, beyond Dai Tian’s available balance 136.
White Tiger Slaughter Art
A cultivation method suited to his Martial Soul. It develops Slaughter Aura, strengthens the Martial Soul and bloodline, and refines blood to improve the body 136.
- Its power can grow through killing, but its aura risks overwhelming an undisciplined practitioner 136.
- At 10% mastery, Dai Tian senses Slaughter Aura and blood-red Soul Power and reports more than ten times his former physical strength 136.
- Advancing to 20% requires 1,000 Fate Points; he has only 900 left after learning the art 136.
Fate Exchange System
The system awards Fate Points for changing other people’s fates. More consequential changes yield greater rewards but bring stronger heavenly punishment 135.
- Fate Points can improve abilities, purchase items, and enable travel to other worlds 135.
- Raising Dai Tian from level 30 to level 31 would cost 11,000 Fate Points 135.
- Its Novice Gift Pack supplies his first cultivation art, weapon, pills, and Fate Points 136.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Slaughter Blade — a longsword whose power increases as it absorbs blood; it can return absorbed blood to its wielder 136.
- Basic Foundation Pills — thirty pills from the Novice Gift Pack. Each can stabilize the foundation at a level below 30 136.
Relationships
- Dai Yutian — father and Star Luo emperor. His long absence leaves Dai Tian addressing him as a sovereign rather than a parent; after the awakening, Dai Yutian names him crown prince 130 131 132 133.
- Fan Caiyun — mother and former Blood Sect holy maiden. Dai Tian does not meet her during his first six years; after his awakening, she watches over him while secretly planning the empire’s destruction 130 133.
- Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai — older brothers and potential rivals under Star Luo’s succession system 130.
- Eunuch Wang — imperial attendant who delivers Dai Tian’s allowance and takes him to medicinal baths; he escorts him to the awakening 130.
- The Divine Beast White Tiger — the being linked to Dai Tian’s Martial Soul. It recognizes his origin, withholds answers it considers dangerous, and expects him to grow stronger 133 134.
