The Heavenly Dao has been severed, and the paths to godhood and immortality are closed to all.
People always say immortals and mortals belong to different worlds, so cultivation academies and the secular world have always kept their distance.
But people also say that human will can overcome fate, and that this land belongs to all who toil upon it.
Mortal flesh can seize the marvels of creation and bring peace and prosperity to the world.
Shu Yan was born an immortal; Su Huai was transformed from god into man. One is a faithful defender of the rules, the other a glaring bug in the cycle of cause and effect.
(Short scene)
Devoted puppy: “A Yan, I love you. But true immortals live for tens of thousands of years, while the lifespan of a cultivator is all too easy to see the end of. You stand too high for me to reach, so I can only retreat to where I started.”
Su Huai: “For every day I can still breathe, I’ll stay by your side. If I’m unlucky enough to get lost, I’ll have to trouble my wife to come find me. Even if all that’s left is a box of ashes, I beg you to take me in.”
