He lived nine lifetimes, reaching the pinnacle every time, only to be killed by the Heavenly Dao every time.
In his eighth life, he was an immortal swordsman of the ages. The moment he cleaved the firmament, heavenly lightning struck him down.
In his ninth life, he opened his eyes covered in fur, with short arms and legs. He was a groundhog.
The Heavenly Dao thought he was finally useless and could safely serve as a lucky mascot.
But while he recruited the Four Divine Beasts as his underlings, he bared his teeth and plotted:
"You've killed me eight times. This time, I'll come for you."
