Su Bai

Biodata

Power Progression

Su Bai’s documented growth concerns his Divine Kingdom, ghost stories, and manufactured troops; the supplied chapters do not establish a corresponding sequence of personal deity-rank promotions.

Background

Su Bai is a transmigrator raised in a poverty-stricken household in Linhai City. His family survives on a low-level faith subsidy, and by the time of his awakening, their remaining savings total only 352 Great Xia Currency 1 3.

His father, Su Qingshan, disappeared twelve years earlier during a mission in a contaminated mining area. Authorities attributed his presumed death to a dark matter storm, but unidentified people subsequently searched the family home. Su Bai’s mother supported the household through fifteen-hour shifts at a spiritual plant processing factory until overwork and dark matter radiation left her chronically ill 3 19.

Su Bai initially seeks power and money to obtain his mother’s medicine. After Chen Tianxing reveals that Su Qingshan disappeared while secretly investigating the Eye of the Abyss, he also resolves to uncover the truth behind his father’s disappearance 1 11.

Appearance

• Described by classmates as handsome, with messy hair at his awakening 1.
• Initially wears an old school uniform faded from repeated washing and carries a worn backpack 6 24.
• Uses a black tracksuit and baseball cap for nighttime outings, adding a mask when visiting the black market 12 24.
• Frequently stands or walks with his hands in his pockets, including during confrontations with assassins and mercenaries 6 15 42.

Personality

Su Bai remains composed under humiliation and danger. At his awakening, he suppresses the urge to attack Gu Chengfeng because he recognizes that school security would kill him. He later stops draining Gu Chengfeng’s kingdom because he is not yet strong enough to confront the entire Gu Family 1 9.

His humor is mocking and deliberately provocative. He eats chips while commentating on Gu Chengfeng’s collapsing army, introduces himself as a “Didi ghost-hailing” driver before confronting mercenaries, and routinely describes devouring Anomalies as recycling or purification 8 15 17 42.

He is intensely profit-minded, treating contaminated ruins, enemy corpses, and assassination attempts as sources of materials. He charges rescue fees, negotiates compensation, and prefers turning an enemy’s attack into further growth for his kingdom 19 22 34 44 48.

His tenderness is most evident with his mother. He conceals his dangerous circumstances to spare her worry, spends his earnings on treatment, and purchases a purified apartment for her recovery. He also values loyalty: Lin Que’s refusal to abandon him visibly moves him, and he explicitly tells Lin Que and Shen Yueli that he does not regard them as outsiders 37 40 50.

Abilities & Skills

Ghost Story Creation

The Ghost Story Creator System, also called the Urban Legend Creation System during activation, allows Su Bai to combine materials, resentment, settings, and rule origins into supernatural followers and structures 2 5 17.

• Uses blueprints to create Hongdou, The Thirteenth Step, and the Midnight School Bus 5 17 26 28.
• Receives a resentment collector and rule deduction sandbox as system tools 2.
• His created ghost stories fuse with his kingdom’s core, preventing ordinary inspection from identifying them as outside Anomalies or prohibited weapons 10.
• Limit: Ghost-story rules are not invincible; each develops corresponding survival methods based on its underlying obsession 5.

Divine Kingdom Devouring and Assimilation

Su Bai opens kingdom passages to absorb corpses, polluted structures, Anomalies, and divine kingdom origin 4 9 15 22.

• Swallows a nascent Hanged Ghost’s Obsession and converts it into strengthening material 4.
• Tears a staircase and its spatial-loop rule out of Sunshine Waterfront rather than trying to navigate the loop 15.
• Expands and strengthens his kingdom by consuming defeated enemies and their resources 17 22.
• Recycles slain mercenaries into new combat units through the Forbidden Hospital 40 41 46.

Domain Manifestation and Pollution Release

Su Bai can manifest his kingdom’s environment outside its normal boundaries and release its concentrated dark matter contamination 16 20 31.

• Creates a ten-meter-radius protective zone whose pollution melts an Anomaly’s attacking flesh-and-blood tentacles 16.
• Breaks Venomous Bee’s shadow barrier by bringing down his Divine Kingdom Domain 20.
• Summons the kingdom inside the Benevolent Heart Director’s Operating Room of Despair, breaking its bindings 31.
• Overloads his core to flood the director’s domain with pollution while coordinating his ghost stories 33.
• Withstands the Mist Lord’s mental contamination while Lin Que and Shen Yueli are affected 46.
• Risk: Chen Tianxing warns that dark matter can corrode even True Gods; Bai Lan warns that absorbing a third-rank Anomaly’s origin could cause a kingdom to collapse 11 34.

Rule-Based Followers and Structures

Story Role / Major Arcs

Awakening and Gu Chengfeng’s Defeat

After awakening a contaminated kingdom, Su Bai rejects Gu Chengfeng’s exploitative contract. Qin Wan obtains a seven-day observation period before the school can revoke his enrollment and send him to the Pollution Treatment Division. Su Bai uses that opportunity to gather materials and create Hongdou 1 2 4 5.

He accepts Gu Chengfeng’s full-connection challenge and destroys his ten-thousand-strong tier-two berserker force through rule-based attacks, maze tactics, and contamination. His subsequent absorption of corpses and kingdom origin draws Bai Lan’s attention, while Chen Tianxing intervenes against Gu Family retaliation 8 9 10.

Sunshine Waterfront and the Assassin Bounty

Su Bai investigates Sunshine Waterfront, rescues three trapped Bureau agents, and consumes the Spatial Labyrinth Anomaly. The operation produces The Thirteenth Step and earns him an external consultant position 13 15 17 18.

When a three-million bounty appears on the Shadow Guild’s network, he refuses to hide. He kills Venomous Bee, absorbs the assassin’s forces, and discovers records pointing toward Gu Canghai. He then turns the assassins’ rendezvous into a soul-harvesting trap to complete the Midnight School Bus 19 22 23 27 28.

Benevolent Heart Hospital

The Gu Family and Wang Hai pressure Su Bai to choose between compulsory kingdom removal and a dangerous hospital assessment. He accepts, regarding the forbidden zone as a source of materials for a new ghost story 24 25.

Su Bai destroys the third-tier Benevolent Heart Director, removes the hospital’s mutated personnel, and returns with evidence of mission completion. Bai Lan grants him the highest-level safety certification and a 500,000 bounty. His kingdom subsequently generates the Forbidden Hospital prototype 30 31 33 34 36.

Mist Canyon Assessment

Unable to recruit a full five-person team because of Gu Family threats, Su Bai enters with Lin Que and Shen Yueli. He eliminates hostile students and mercenaries, converts their remains into hospital troops, and disrupts a blood-sacrifice operation targeting captured students 37 39 40 41 42.

After confronting Blood Wolf and the awakened Mist Lord, he conceals his methods from the arriving teachers and presents evidence implicating the Gu Family. He secures fifty million Great Xia Currency and ten top-grade third-tier spirit vein cores as compensation 44 46 48 49.

His team places first with 8,500 points, qualifying for the Provincial Divine Battle Tournament qualifiers. He then purchases a fifteen-million, three-hundred-square-meter apartment at Cloudtop Heavenly Palace for his mother and reinvests the spirit vein cores in his hospital production line 49 50.
