A Thousand Autumns of the Sin God

Short blurb:

Everyone knows that immortals' ascension is governed by fixed rules.

There are ascensions through karma, cultivation, enlightenment, and so on. The immortals who bring rain and blessings from the Ninth Heaven rely on mortals ascending to take over their duties and give them a break.

So what happens if one day, all the mortals who were supposed to ascend suddenly fail, as if they had all agreed to it beforehand?

The Ninth Heaven Office: Obviously...

The male lead will appear. Yep.

Blurb for the title:

Hua Zixian, the number one God of War in the Three Realms, was cast beyond the cycle of reincarnation by the Ninth Heaven for the sin of killing.

He became the number one Sin God in the Three Realms.

Five hundred years later, an ascension curse swept over the Ninth Heaven, allowing Hua Zixian to return to the human world.

What did he come back for? To help them do their jobs! Sigh. What a miserable life.

Five hundred years had passed. Hua Zixian thought his name had long since faded away along with the great war between gods and demons.

After all, gods came and went. Who would build a shrine or temple to honor a Sin God like him?

But he never expected that five hundred years later, the human world would have a Sin God temple every five steps and a Sin God shrine every three!

Hua Zixian: How strange.

It turned out there was an old legend in the human world: On snowy nights, a stairway of snow stretching to the heavens would appear behind these Sin God temples. Anyone with the right fate who found it could ascend straight to the Ninth Heaven without suffering any pain!

Hua Zixian laughed when he heard this and thought: What utter nonsense.

If ascending to the Ninth Heaven were so easy, why would he still be stuck here as a ghost?

But thanks to this legend, this Sin God had somehow become immensely popular, with incense and offerings pouring in. It looked like he might be worshipped for all eternity!

But even more than mortals worshipping him at temples, Hua Zixian was curious: who had built these heavenly stairs and spread these rumors?

Then one day, as the world lay pure white and the sudden snowfall came to a stop, he watched with his own eyes as a figure as cold as ice and frost descended the snowy stairs...

Run! Run for your life!

Hua Zixian's inner thoughts: Believe me, there's nothing someone won't do to catch me!

Plot-focused, with some gods and ghosts.

Alternate title: Huh, Why Have the Immortals Stopped Ascending?
