The Moonlit Immortal Butterfly

[Butterfly Bones]

[Devil God + human-spirit butterflies + stand-in God of War + tragic ending]

A thousand years ago, the realms of humans and gods were separated by just one mountain. To keep them apart, the Heavenly Lord used magic to create a forest of immortals called the Amorous Forest. When the God of War Zhuoguang wandered into it, his wounded divine blood fell onto a tree. Overnight, the divine tree flourished and bore red fruit. Its scent lured some immortals into eating the fruit against their better judgment, awakening feelings of love in them. They secretly entered the human realm and fell in love with humans, then settled down in the forest. Because of the fruit, they bore half-human, half-immortal descendants known as “human spirits.” The human spirits had little magical power and short lifespans; if they stepped outside the Amorous Forest, they would die. To protect them, some immortals secretly captured minor immortals and demons to make medicine that would prolong the human spirits' lives. When Heaven and Earth learned of this, they flew into a rage and sent Zhuoguang to exterminate the human spirits. Unwilling to be wiped out, some of them sought refuge with the demons. During a fight between the God of War and the Demon King, the Demon King ambushed Zhuoguang, wounding him and sending him tumbling into the Amorous Forest. A flower demon there saved him, and he learned by chance that the human spirits had come into being because of his own mistake. To protect the kindhearted human spirits, Zhuoguang begged the Heavenly Lord to spare the rest of them. The Heavenly Lord was furious and imprisoned him on the Immortal Execution Platform. The Demon King sought to rule all six realms and attacked the realm of the gods. To protect themselves, the human spirits obeyed the Demon King and sent a flower demon to poison Zhuoguang. In the war between gods and demons, Zhuoguang arrived at the crucial moment to protect the Heavenly Lord. As the poison took hold, he fought with all his strength and perished alongside the Demon King. His sword, the Godslayer, also disappeared that day.

Afterward, the gods and demons signed a peace treaty, agreeing not to interfere with each other, and peace returned to the six realms.

Five hundred years later, two girls are born into the human-spirit clan at the same time. One of them is the reincarnation of the God of War.
