Xi Mu realized he’d been underestimated. Some clueless human wizard had actually wanted to take possession of his body, so Xi Mu refined him in an instant.
But the experience also made him unable to endure Hell’s torment of his soul any longer. With his newfound memories, he recalled the wizard’s transmigration spell and decided to try it himself. He tricked the other demons into opening the Gate of Transmigration, then succeeded by burning himself. He transmigrated to a new world, but his magic was divided into eight talismans, and he became a stone statue, falling into a deep sleep.
