The Dragon Prince traveled among mortals. Once, moved by the villagers' suffering through a drought, he brought them rain.
But his kindness went unrepaid. The villagers suspected him, villains slandered him, and the people he had helped repaid his kindness with betrayal. In the end, they seized the Water-Cutting Spirit Pearl, transformed from the power of his eyes, and left him blind.
After that, the blind dragon said only, "The world has wronged me, so I will wrong the whole world in return."
He no longer had a heart.
But later, the giant spirit who had become the Blackwind Demon God kept coming to tease him. Xiaodie told him about the mountains and rivers beyond his sight. And when Fuzhou, the spirit of the Water-Cutting Divine Pearl, returned, he said, "Immortal big brother, you should be happy."
That year, another great drought came...
