The God Kisses the Bones on the Sword

The divine decree resounds across the Nine Heavens: Slay the mortal world's God of War, Ruoli, and only then can you sever your earthly ties and perfect your godhood.

Zhuyu descends bearing Heaven's mandate, only to see that person in bloodstained, shattered silver armor, sword raised against the setting sun. Perched atop a mountain of corpses, she smiles and arches a brow. "Do gods enjoy battle too?"

The instant crimson splashes across divine sleeves, the god's heart fractures into three thousand wounds.

They meet again at the altar. As worshippers kneel and chant, only Ruoli stands tall and looks straight at the god.

"What is it you worship, compassion or hypocrisy?"

The sword's edge veers three inches, and the god's heart splits into a thousand chasms.

The trial of life remains unbroken, but the trial of love is already an unstoppable wildfire.

But the god never expected that the sharpest blade would not come from the battlefield.

Those worshippers who called themselves her "true love" used faith as chains and greed as an altar,

building a stairway to godhood from the general's bones.

When Ruoli died, the prayer flags were soaked in blood, and mournful winds swept through three thousand worlds.

"You drove her to her death, and now you expect me to save all living beings?"

Zhuyu smiles, madness in her eyes, and tears her godhood apart with her bare hands.

Divine flames consume the palaces of the Nine Heavens.

"From this day on, I will make a boat of my divine marrow and oars of my flesh and blood, "

"To ferry her across, I will slay all living beings."

Plane One: A scumbag kneels, offering his dead lover's ashes? Zhuyu smiles. "Wrong. Her soul is by my pillow."

Plane Two: A fox's tail coils around the wrist of a girl offered as a sacrifice. "What are you afraid of? From now on, for every tear you shed, I'll make the rules repay you a hundredfold."

Plane Three: A Bodhisattva gazes tenderly at the prayer beads around a nun's neck. "Buddha says all living beings are equal... So why won't you look me in the eye?"

Flames burn through the tribulations, and a soul crosses the sea of blood.

When the day of their reunion comes, the god's fingers trace the scar between the general's brows.

"Ruoruo, I'm here to give you

a brand-new world of mortals."

Theme: Heaven's decree told me to kill her and prove my Dao, but for her, I will defy and destroy Heaven's decree.
