The Account Deleter

Kuafu chased the sun until his death and never caught it. Jingwei tried to fill the sea until her death and never succeeded. Xingtian died without ever finding his head.

What descends with the myths is not the gods, but the things they left unfinished. The protagonist is no cultivator, but an adjudicator: he doesn’t fight the myths. He finishes what they set out to do, then makes the myth disappear from the world forever.
