[Thank you, dear readers, for your support. Kisses! =v=]

Back when the Myriad Immortals Formation was broken, my master personally descended into the chaotic mortal world, rebuked the Saints for recklessly harboring murderous intent, and silently led me away when I tried to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Another eight hundred years passed, and the Zhou dynasty fell. While my master was away, I gleefully blew up the Zixiao Palace into fireworks. The Thirty-Three Heavens were stunned. My master only said, "It's a lovely day. As long as he's happy."

For thousands upon thousands of years, I stayed dutifully by my master's side, except for the occasional trip out to threaten Haotian and Yaochi. After all, plenty of my disciples were working for them.

My master came along with me, so Haotian's expression looked as if both his parents had died, though he had been born of heaven and earth and had no parents.

When I went out to cause trouble, my master came with me.

When I quietly secluded myself, my master stayed with me.

My master truly was the person who treated me best.

So when the immeasurable tribulation arrived and Honghuang neared its end, I rested against his knees and asked if he had any unfulfilled wishes.

He looked at me in silence and pondered for a long time. "Tongtian, if there's a next life, be a person."

I thought about it for a long time. As a pure little ball of clear energy, I couldn't become a person unless I abandoned my origins and reincarnated. Did my master mean I should be a good little ball of energy?

I promised him.

If there was a next life, I would be a good little ball of energy.

And so, after being reborn...

I solemnly informed Laozi and Yuanshi: This time, the Three Pure Ones will become the Two Pure Ones. We're not brothers anymore! Yuanshi wanted to hit me, so I hit him back!

After that, I took my friend Eastern Emperor Taiyi and my disciple, Daoist Duobao, and ambushed Jieyin and Zhunti in a sack. They deserved it for bullying my disciple back then! My master wholeheartedly approved, and later came with me to do it again. =.=

Later, when the Heavenly Dao of Honghuang began stirring and wanted to bring about a tribulation, I took my sword and split it in two for the sake of fairness and justice in the world, just as I was about to attain the Great Dao and become a Saint!

That day, my master stroked my hair, seeming to sigh before softly praising me. "Tongtian really is a good little ball of energy."

That's right. I, Shangqing Tongtian, am the best little ball of clear energy in the world [proud]!

Notes:

1. If there's no update, I'll post a notice asking for leave. If there's no notice, I'm still struggling to write.

2. The main story is in third person.

3. What Saints seek is a single chance at life; what they love and cherish is all the living beings of Honghuang. (Core characterization)

[Added 2026.6.22: When I wrote this, I thought it was a little angsty. After all, it's a rebirth story. If the previous life wasn't tragic, why be reborn? But looking at it now, could this actually be a standard wish-fulfillment story? I can't help but reflect. Well, the story is occasionally a bit over-the-top and childish, but I finished it, and that's a victory. Yeah!]

Theme: Having lived another life, all I ask is that the people I meet in this one enjoy peace and happiness.
