On the Immortal Execution Platform, blood-weeping gales swept through the air, while injustice endured for all eternity.
For an entire lifetime, Xuan Chen bore the curses of all creation. He endured misunderstanding and humiliation, and alone shouldered the Heavenly Dao’s countless trials. With his life and spotless reputation, he personally paved a path to godhood for the three women he loved most.
He gave his life and let his soul vanish, asking only that the three of them be safe and worry-free for the rest of their lives.
He gave everything to make the world whole, only to be left with his lifeline severed and his remnant soul adrift, with nowhere to go.
When the three women learned the truth, regret and grief tore through their souls. To find even a single fragment of his scattered soul, they shattered their divine cores, spent their vital essence, abandoned the Great Dao, and gave up their true forms.
One became a sword, at his side year after year, her devotion never wavering;
One became a fox, surrendering her intelligence to stay by his side day and night as a spirit pet;
Billions of beings across the three realms finally came to their senses. Realizing they had blindly followed others for ten thousand years and wrongly cursed a hero, they burned away their souls and gave their lives to the Dao in atonement, building a path of redemption to reincarnation.
The laws of the world were left incomplete by the sacrifice of all living beings. Ancient ruins sealed away for eons, including the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and Heavenly Sword Sect, scattered across the three thousand mortal realms.
At last, the Elder of Heavenly Secrets burned through the foundation of a lifetime’s cultivation and defied the laws of heaven, using his own body to build a bridge that would guide souls into reincarnation.
But the world was collapsing, and space had become a raging chaos.
Along the way, the immortal sword was separated from its master, the spirit fox drifted away, and old companions were scattered far and wide. Swept apart by the currents, each fell into silence in the mortal world, awaiting the fate that would begin anew.
Ten thousand years of devotion. Ten thousand years of debt.
The man who had once protected the world and borne every injustice shed his immortal bones and demonic might, losing every trace of his former glory.
The Heavenly Dao balanced its blessings among others, leaving him alone with a blank fate. He fell into the mortal cycle of reincarnation, awaiting a reunion after a hundred lifetimes of hardship, and a long-overdue happy ending a million years in the making.
It's a bit sadistic, followed by cool writing.
