After the Heavenly Dao Lost All Its Cultivation

■■Heaven's Will, the ordained final villain of a cultivation novel.

When Heaven's Will took human form and lost all its cultivation, this villain, "cold-blooded, heartless, cruel, and evil," who had used his overwhelming strength to wantonly humiliate and toy with the chosen prodigies, finally became someone anyone could bully.

As it happens, Shi Mingmei was the Heaven's Will who had taken human form and lost all his cultivation.

And those poor geniuses would finally get the chance to meet Heaven's Will.

The protagonists of cultivation novels, whether they follow the invincible hero or the useless underdog route, are children of fortune whose lifelong pursuit is Heaven's Will. But Heaven's Will has never shown them mercy. It has even broken their foundations time and again, refusing to let them ascend.

Heaven's Will has always stood above all, looking down on everyone.

He descended to the lower realm only to undergo rebirth.

The first person he met angrily took revenge on him, imprisoned him as a slave, and humiliated him as they pleased. Later, when it was time for him to leave, the first person's eyes nearly split with fury, but no matter what they tried, they couldn't keep him.

The second person he met arrogantly enjoyed his arrival, believing they had won Heaven's Will's favor. They treated him like the most precious treasure and showed him off everywhere. But when he left, that person knelt and begged, and still couldn't keep him.

The third person poured out their sorrowful grievances, consumed by jealousy, and asked why he couldn't love them back. He replied, "Isn't that what I'm doing now?" But the third person said he was already entangled with the first two. So he immediately refined himself until his flesh was reduced to fragments, restoring his original purity. Even so, when the time came, he still left.

Later, the fourth person loved and revered him, never resenting all the hardships he inflicted. They were obedient and attentive, scouring the land for treasures to nourish his body and using every secret art to help him regain his cultivation. But when the time came, he still left.

He is Heaven's Will. For the sake of the Great Dao of Heaven, he changed the fates of countless heavenly prodigies. Some wanted to drag him down from his altar, while others wanted to worship him forever. None of it mattered to him. To fully merge with the Great Dao, he needed to settle his karmic debts.

So he gave each chosen prodigy three months.

Long enough for a season to turn, and long enough for them to vent their resentment.

Heaven's Will will not care about anyone in particular. It pities all living things, and it pities you, too.

But it will never favor anyone.

Its love for you is the same as its love for a handful of mud or a blade of grass.

Theme: Heaven and Earth are impartial, treating all things as straw dogs.
