Crossing Frostbound Mountains and Rivers, Meeting the Night Through the Years

A Slay the Gods fanfic. Two male leads, equally matched and standing side by side, a slow-burn romance built on companionship, mutual devotion, both untouched, melodrama, pure love, one-on-one emotionally and physically.

I've seen every possible ending. Every path leads to ruin.

But I'll defy fate and change our destiny, even if I have to sacrifice myself for the cause and have my soul scattered.

Everyone says fate cannot be defied. Then I'll make myself a piece on the board and stake my life."

"I just... want to fight for one more chance for this world, and for Him."

"But your soul will be shattered, and you'll never enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

"Then I'll gladly forgo reincarnation and descend into hell forever."

"I'm leaving, and I don't know when I'll return. Perhaps..."

"All right. I'll wait for you."

"I know. He's not coming back."

"Fate is such a strange thing. When you want to die, you can't. When you want to live, it drives you to despair."

"That's right. To you, I'm nothing but an ant. Maybe even if I gave it everything I had, I couldn't ruffle a hair on your head. But I refuse to accept it!"

"They laughed at me for being foolish, for being mad, for trying to move a mountain with an egg.

But even if this little stone is smashed to pieces, it will still strike at the heavens."

Mu Qingshuang, a youth in red with countless unknowns about him, steps into Cangnan City, a place teeming with danger.

Lin Qiye, his eyes veiled, walks alone through endless darkness, long accustomed to bearing everything by himself.

Two lonely souls meet by chance in this perilous world.

One is a mysterious traveler from a distant land who lives in symbiosis with water; the other is a Night's Watchman, fiery as the night and wielding a blade as his weapon.

When frost settles over the mountains and rivers, and the years meet the long night,

what sparks will fly as they face the mysterious and walk side by side?
