Ji Xukong transmigrated into Shrouding the Heavens. After fighting into his twilight years, his origin depleted, he was preparing to follow the fate laid out in the original story: lure the Supreme beings into a trap and take them down with him.
Just as he was about to take one last look at humanity’s lands and rivers, burning away the last of his origin…
“Ding! The Transdimensional Guild invites you to join.”
Stone Emperor: “Xukong, you’re spent. What can you possibly use to protect the people?”
Ji Xukong: “I’m done trading my life! I’m going on a little trip with the guild, and while I’m at it, I’ll extend my life by a thousand years. Then I’ll come back and scatter your ashes to the wind!”
When Ji Xukong returned to Beidou, his black hair flowed like a waterfall, and his blood qi crushed the ages.
The forbidden zones throughout the heavens trembled. Hadn’t this lunatic been on the verge of death? How was he getting younger the longer he lived?!
