The Thousand-Year-Old Ghost King Just Wants to Be a Lazy Fish

In 1000 BCE, our protagonist tossed a stone off a bridge and accidentally broke the soul-locking seal on a divine beast. The beast got so excited that it unleashed a great flood, sweeping the protagonist, Bai Ling, into the river. By another twist of fate, the seal was activated again, but this time it sealed his soul. His soul remained trapped in the seal for three thousand years. During that time, it inexplicably absorbed yin energy and vengeful spirits, growing stronger and stronger until it reached the level of a Ghost King. Yet this Ghost King had neither resentment nor malice, which was very strange. Later, someone accidentally opened his seal, allowing him to leave. But by then, he no longer recognized this land.
