Wang Cun, the Venerable Savage of the Longevity Realm, sought to shatter the barrier between worlds and reach a higher realm. The Evernight Ones led all the Longevity Realm's experts to stop him.
They promised him every luxury and beauty imaginable, but Wang Cun remained unmoved.
A certain someone who liked to let his teeth out to sun themselves wasn't interested in any of that.
At last, they fought a great battle. The Venerable Savage's might shook mountains and rivers, and his power was the greatest of all. He fought the Longevity Realm's experts until heaven and earth grew dark. But even Wang Cun couldn't take on so many enemies alone. Before he could kill them all, they joined forces and grievously wounded him, leaving him on the brink of death.
Then he encountered a scoundrel of a cicada, and was accidentally forced to be reborn.
Whenever Wang Cun is in danger, he thinks of that scoundrel cicada. Cicada, cicada, I was wrong. Where are you?
This time, he will reclaim the summit: open the Longevity Realm, face the Nine Abysses, shatter the firmament, ascend the Great Dao, and stride onward with a song.
