After millions of years had passed since the resurgence of the supernatural, Xie An reached the end of his life. He had protected humanity for tens of thousands of years, and to keep protecting it, he decided to challenge the ancient path to sainthood before he died. But just as he was about to attain the Great Sage's Path, something went wrong. His inner demon unsettled his heart, his cultivation plummeted, and he lost his chance for good. In the end, his lifespan ran out and he died.
In his final moments, he finally remembered the beloved and family and friends he had left behind in pursuit of cultivation. There are no years in cultivation, and no calendar in the path to sainthood. By the time he was strong enough to protect himself, his family and his beloved were already gone. Even devoting all his efforts to protecting humanity could not make up for it. That was why his heart had wavered, and why he died just as he was about to attain the Great Sage's Path.
Before he died, his soul returned to a time centuries earlier, before he had begun cultivating. He was young once more.
In this life, he had only one goal: to make up for every regret from his previous life.
