Background / History

Bai Zhou is a transmigrator who knows elements of the original novel's plot and actively seeks to seize opportunities intended for its protagonist, Chu Yun. He identifies himself with the role of a villain and accumulates Destined Villain Value by damaging others psychologically, blocking Chu Yun's fortune, and exploiting changes caused by his own intervention. 44 58 103 168

After awakening as a Spirit Master, Bai Zhou rapidly established connections with Divine Weapon Maidens. His family recognized Lin Wei as his Life-and-Death Contract partner and learned that Shen Qin was an S-Class Divine Weapon Maiden. 34 He later added Long Ying and Shen Qin to his immediate group, with the three maidens eventually becoming close enough to regard one another as sisters. 107 131

Bai Zhou's early rise drew public attention during the Spirit Master recruitment test. His talent test fluctuated between SSS and SS+, while the instrument could not display his specific talent; his Level 5 status after only days of awakening overshadowed Chu Yun's SSS-Class talent. 104 During the same test, he bypassed a barrier that blocked spiritual communication and remotely summoned his Divine Weapon Maidens directly into his hands, a feat Bai Zhennan considered unprecedented. 108 109

He subsequently turned against the Jiangcheng Wang Family, using Wang Hai as justification for the Bai Family to act. After the Wang Family's stronghold campaign, Bai Zhou declared his intent to destroy the family and the Bai forces massacred its members. 158 184 209

In the Otherworlder Forest, Bai Zhou repeatedly pursued valuable equipment and hidden opportunities. He acquired and assembled several pieces of the Dragon Scale Armor set, uncovered a secret-realm-like blank area associated with Chu Yun's original opportunities, and developed the ability to exert control over otherworlders. 210 363 366 395 440

Personality

Bai Zhou is confident, calculating, and highly opportunistic. He treats knowledge of the original plot as a strategic resource, routinely looking for ways to intercept Chu Yun's destined gains and convert emotional harm into Destined Villain Value. 44 58 159 440

He can be ruthless when confronting enemies. Bai Zhou uses fear to secure loyalty, shows no remorse during the destruction of the Wang Family, and manipulates Long Ying's guilt for leverage. 209 224 382 He also tests subordinates such as Zhang Yong through temptation and rewards competence with equipment. 158 224

Despite his manipulative tendencies, Bai Zhou shows practical care toward people he considers his own. He rescues Lin Wei in battle, seeks equipment suited to Shen Qin, agrees to have Tang Tao treat Lin Wei's father, and assists Huang Ningxue in searching for missing civilians. 48 131 188 438

Du Aohan's detached demeanor notably unsettles him. Around her, Bai Zhou becomes unusually awkward and cautious, though he remains determined to uncover the Dragon Scale Armor's secrets through her Azure Dragon Crescent Blade form. 184
