The layered woods filling the ravine are ready to blush with color, before winter's frost has run its course.
In this world, there is a Scroll of Creation that can depict all things, turning the false into the real. Alas, what has form has no spirit, and what has spirit has no form.
The immortal stands aloof from the world, the Ghost King is peerless in red. Truth and illusion lie hidden within the painting. Let us see where this fleeting life will come to rest.
Guiyuan figured that, as the god in charge of karma and reincarnation, if he ever died, it would surely be from overwork.
The Heavenly Way has a hole in it? I'll patch it!
The Underworld's order is in chaos? I'll sort it out!
The war between immortals and demons has broken out? I'll stop it!
Leave it all to me!
The Immortal Venerable's partner has gone missing? I... never mind, I'll leave that one.
The Immortal Venerable gently embraced him and coaxed, "It's all right. I'll take care of it."
The Heavenly Way was incomplete, and the Three Realms faced calamity. Prince Xinyao of the Celestial Realm volunteered to merge with the Way and complete its laws.
Moved by his sacrifice, the Heavenly Way bestowed merit for saving the world. Xinyao ascended to godhood, taking charge of karma and reincarnation. The Heavenly Way gave him the name Yuan.
From then on, only the God Lord Guiyuan remained in the world.
The love he had never received became his sole obsession.
It is said that the God Lord's true spirit was reborn as Yaoguang, a disciple of the Immortal Venerable Chaowu. Yaoguang sacrificed himself during the war between immortals and demons to seal the Demon Venerable. Grief-stricken, Chaowu painted his disciple's likeness on the divine artifact Scroll of Life. The artifact had a spirit of its own, and from it was born the painted spirit Jingshu.
As the object someone gazed upon to remember a loved one, Jingshu had always taken things in stride. Thanks to the profound cultivation of the Scroll's creator, the Immortal Venerable Chaowu, he had the cultivation of an immortal without ever needing to practice. But after one reincarnation, he was repeatedly targeted by others. Even a painting has a temper.
"This is your last chance. If you don't seize it, I won't want you anymore."
