The Divine Lord Wants His Name Cleared

The Immortal Realm's A Brief History of Daze reads: "In the year 30019 of Daze, Fire God Long Jin joined forces with the ghosts of the Netherworld to launch a rebellion. The elders of the Immortal Realm were all kept in the dark... The Venerable God of Yuan'an, Wen Heng, was accused of endangering all living beings... His divine status was stripped away beneath the Desolate-Calming Pagoda... He was persecuted to death, and not even his bones remained."

The young immortals who had studied this history were all indignant. The Venerable God had opened up the Great Wilderness and driven back the Void, leaving his achievements immortalized for all time. How could this Fire God be such a bastard?

Meanwhile, Wen Heng, who had already lived among mortals for three thousand years, sneezed quietly. As Professor Zhu Jiulin of Jing University, he wondered, "Is one of my students cursing me?"

Zhu Jiulin, 26, was an associate professor at Jing University's School of Biotechnology and the youngest academician at the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Biology. He was the hottest rising star in the entire academic world.

He was also the Venerable God of Yuan'an, Wen Heng, whose divine status had been stripped away three thousand years ago.

Zhu Jiulin: To hell with being a Venerable God. I love science, and I love my country.

So the young immortals who had traveled all the way from the Immortal Realm to the human world came crying to the Venerable God's doorstep, begging him to forgive them and return with them to the Immortal Realm.

Zhu Jiulin opened the door with a little black snake in his arms, then set it on the ground.

The young immortals: ?

Under everyone's gaze, the little black snake slowly grew larger, swept the young immortals into a passage it had just torn open with its tail, and sent them straight back to their hometown in Daze.

The young immortals: Isn't that Lord Divine Dragon, who vanished after the great war?

Ming Huai, 27, was the only son of Ming Licheng, chairman of the Ming Group, and founder of Qiguang Biotech. He was a rising business star who had recently been making headlines.

The first time Zhu Jiulin met Ming Huai, he was bowled over by Ming Huai's looks. He didn't turn down Ming Huai's advances, and they became friends.

Later, Zhu Jiulin accepted Ming Huai's confession.

Later still, Zhu Jiulin discovered a photo album.

It was full of photos of Zhu Jiulin himself, taken over nearly ten years.

He also saw the messages Ming Huai had written beneath them.

"My god."

"I miss him so much."

'It was a night when the stars flowed like molten silver:

A god fell into the mortal world,

And at last fell asleep in the arms of his believer.'

[Mini-scene version of the blurb]

Everyone in the Divine Realm: "Venerable God! The truth is out, the villain has been punished, and your name has finally been cleared! Waaaah..."

Zhu Jiulin, expressionless: "Thanks, but there's no need."

I don't need my name cleared! Don't come any closer!
