The first thing Hua Feng did after becoming a god was kill his former self.
He had suffered enough from emotions that were too intense. During the thousands of years he lived as a human, they had made him stumble too many times.
When he accepted the divine spark that fell from the sea of stars, the calamity others went out of their way to avoid was a gift to him.
Hua Feng smiled and gladly accepted it.
The calamity radiated a savage aura, yet carefully sheathed its fangs as it tried to draw a little closer to him.
Hua Feng lowered his eyes to look at the man kneeling before him. The bloodied halberd still dripped with fresh blood. He deliberately lifted it higher, letting a drop fall into the man's eye.
"Why didn't you dodge?"
The calamity said nothing. It pressed a kiss to his fingertips, its pale bones loosely cupping Hua Feng's hand with a touch gentler than if it were handling a snowflake.
From then on, for the next billion years and beyond, we would always be one.
