(Xuanhuan + sweet romance + angsty love + human realm/demon realm/heavenly realm + devoted couple + strong heroine)
He had once been a hostage prince of the Jiang Kingdom, casually picked up by her and the Demon Venerable Feng Yu while they traveled through the human realm. He never imagined that Feng Yu, the only friend she had regarded as a god in all her ten thousand years, had spent years plotting with her solely to trade her life for that of an unknown species that had been dead for who knew how long.
When he ascended to godhood, the power of a god shattered the seal placed on him when he was a hostage. At last, he saw the face from his dreams, only to hear that she had fought the Demon Venerable at Huaijiang Mountain and that both her body and soul had been destroyed.
“I saved you once. This time, let me save you.”
Despite having just endured the tribulation lightning of his ascension, he forcibly offered himself as a sacrifice to activate the ancient formation. In the end, he found a fragment of her soul in the rift between the four seas and eight wildernesses. But defying heaven’s will meant his consciousness was destined to scatter completely.
Hundreds of years later, everyone in the heavenly realm was saying that the High God Li Shang had died the day after ascending because his Dao heart was unstable and he had secretly used a forbidden technique from the bottom of the River of Forgetfulness. No one knew that, from beginning to end, all he wanted was to thank her to her face.
When she returned, she lifted the chin of the War God and asked, “Did you really only want to thank me?”
He clasped her hand in return and looked at her reproachfully. “Was the Venerable Goddess Chaole once like this with Feng Yu, too?”
“From now on, you can only touch my chin. Only...”
