Honghuang: I Am Zhurong, God of Fire, and I Burn Away All the Heavens' Grievances

On the day of his third wedding anniversary, Zhu Yan brings home Lingxi pastries, his wife’s favorite, only to discover that his wife, Lin Wei, is cheating on him with Wang Jun, his most trusted friend. Worse, her lover beats him to death. Carrying a boundless grudge, Zhu Yan is reborn as the supreme God of Fire in the primordial world. Flames can burn all things, yet they cannot burn away a memory. I am Zhurong, but within me lives a pitiful soul named Zhu Yan. My brothers laugh that I never go near the female Wu, saying the God of Fire must be afraid of the cold. They don’t understand: I was once burned to ashes by a flame called “love.” Now, I only want to use this primordial divine fire to burn my way to an answer. A wholesale factory for Great Wu warriors, a Spirit Root cultivation base. My Wu Clan is skilled at alchemy, qi refinement, and breeding. Why shouldn’t we rule the primordial world? One kick sends Zhunti and Jieyin flying. The meditation cushions for listening to the Dao? Even a dog wouldn’t sit on one! I subdue the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, defeat the demon race, and unite the primordial world. Nuwa is dumbfounded, the Three Pure Ones panic, the West goes mad, and Hongjun is left speechless. With no humans appearing, no one can become a sage. A host of mighty beings come to negotiate with me? Heavenly Dao Sages are no more than clay chickens and pottery dogs. The Twelve Ancestral Witches prove the Dao through the laws, and are deathless and indestructible.
