The True Lord who wielded the power to mend the heavens took him in as a personal disciple. The God of War, who commanded celestial soldiers, eagerly taught him his skills. Even when he got into trouble, an immortal lord would cover for him. Zhou Xing was every bit the favored child of Heaven.
But then the world changed overnight. The gods and Buddhas of the upper realm fell silent, while monsters overran the mortal realm. In a single night, Zhou Xing lost all his friends and loved ones. Crushed by grief and despair, he had no choice but to shoulder the last pillar of the Heavenly Dao alone. He held it up for three hundred years.
He dared not tell anyone his secret, and he had no one he could confide in. All he had was loneliness.
For a time, Zhou Xing even considered making himself kindling, burning away to nothing for the sake of the world. Even if his soul were utterly destroyed, he would be glad to be free of it all.
But in the end, Heaven showed him a little mercy. Just as he had lost all hope in the world, he found a living corpse, its flesh withered, in a forbidden place. The figure bore a faint resemblance to an old friend he had missed for three hundred years.
As if possessed, Zhou Xing cut his own hand and fed the man his blood. He watched the man's appearance gradually return until he became the familiar Brother Shi once more. In that moment, it seemed that not only Shi Fangsi had come back to life, but Zhou Xing himself had, too.
Yet the first thing Brother Shi did when he opened his eyes was press a sharp blade to Zhou Xing's throat.
Blood kept pouring from the wound. Zhou Xing's life hung by a thread, but he refused to dodge. He stared straight into Shi Fangsi's eyes. “Big Brother, are you going to kill me?”
Shi Fangsi's eyes were as cold as ice, but the hand holding the blade trembled without stopping. “You ruined my reputation and had me thrown into prison. And now you dare stand before me and call me Big Brother?”
Reading guide:
- Zhou Xing had a former partner and a child, his biological child. But he and his former partner separated a long time ago. After he gets together with Shi Fangsi, they have eyes only for each other.

Coming next: Another book in the same series, Has the Immortal Lord Regretted It Today?
A Luo had two wishes in life: to protect all the spirits of the world, and to find his A Shi.
A calamity a hundred years ago led to the Demon God being sealed away, leaving the spirits as the lowest-ranked beings in the Three Realms. They were enslaved by powerful cultivators and oppressed by demonic cultivators. Even the Xuantian Platform, which claimed to represent the Heavenly Dao, turned a blind eye.
A Shi had also disappeared during that calamity.
Later, after overcoming countless hardships and reaching the peak of cultivation, A Luo saved countless spirits and became the savior of all demons.
Just as he found a way to undo the Demon God's seal, he also found A Shi. A Shi looked just as he did in A Luo's memories, gentle and devoted.
From then on, A Shi stayed by his side as A Luo scoured the world for the spiritual artifacts and magical treasures needed to break the seal, braving fire and water along the way. With a confidant like this, what more could anyone ask for?
A Luo planned that once the Demon God was freed, he would retire from public life and spend his days roaming the mountains and rivers with A Shi.
Everything was ready. Just as he was about to break the Demon God's seal in one fell swoop, someone attacked him from behind. A Luo spun around, his heart seized with horror. The one who had ambushed him was A Shi!
The person he had trusted most now wore a face of cold, righteous resolve.
“A Luo, for your own selfish reasons, you would put the safety of the Three Realms at risk. It is my duty to stop you before you go any further.”
A Shi had become an immortal of the Xuantian Platform long ago!
Their supposed shared ideals had all been lies A Shi had told offhandedly.
Their supposed devotion unto death had been nothing but A Luo's one-sided wishful thinking.
The Xuantian Platform viewed the spirits as the bedrock that kept the Three Realms stable. Why would they ever allow that bedrock to rise up?
With the Lord of All Demons in their hands, the Xuantian Platform could control all the spirits in the world and reduce them to stepping stones for others to trample.
But by the time A Luo realized this, it was already too late. A net had closed around him, and all his hard work over the past century had gone to waste.
“Breaking the seal goes against the will of Heaven, and you'll be struck by a heavenly tribulation. Once you leave this formation, you will die,” A Shi said with unyielding certainty. “A Luo, stop resisting.”
Outside the formation, thunder gathered, ready to strike. Inside, A Shi stood firm and impartial.
A Luo glanced at the rumbling thunder, then at A Shi. The man was now an immortal lord of the Xuantian Platform. He was no longer A Luo's A Shi.
“Even if I die, I won't let you get what you want.”
A Luo gathered the last of his strength, struck A Shi aside, broke through the net, and charged resolutely toward the sky.
In an instant, terror overtook A Shi's face. “A Luo! Don't!”
By the time A Shi rushed forward recklessly to stop him, it was too late.
Thunder and lightning crashed down from above. A Luo was struck until his soul scattered, vanishing from the world forever.
From then on, A Shi seemed to go mad. For hundreds of years, he did just one thing:
He traveled the Three Realms, painstakingly gathering the scattered fragments of A Luo's soul, piece by piece.
But no matter how hard he searched, he could never find every last fragment.
Then one day, the Lord of All Demons was reborn, shaking the Three Realms.
A Shi searched for him with all his might. Though his appearance had changed completely, A Shi still recognized him as his A Luo.
In that instant, A Shi was overcome with joy.
But the Lord of All Demons merely glanced at him indifferently. “Do we know each other?”

It's so outrageous, why is Zhou Xing the one who repented? Whether it's emotions or the world, isn't it Shi Fangji who makes more mistakes? The portrayal of this character is indecisive, wanting and wanting more. The love for Zhou Xing, the family affection for Lu Wa, the brotherly affection for Xiaofeng, Lin, etc., Are not just ordinary antagonisms, but the antagonism between Zhou Xing, who represents Xuantian City, and Bu Judao, which concerns all the people in the world. Not to mention Shi Fangji's repeated betrayals. Didn't these betrayals have no impact on Zhou Xing's prestige? Didn't they need to make amends? In the process of making up, were there no casualties of ordinary soldiers in Xuantian City, no casualties of the people, and no loss of property? What about the crimes Shi Fangji committed 300 years ago? Judging from the following, it is not just smuggling, but also as an important member of Bujudao. So, does he need to be responsible for the collapse of Buzhoushan and the casualties of Zhou Xing and other Buzhoushan members? As for the 300 years of isolation, at worst it was the result of dog eating dog, at best it was just an escape. Can this replace legal judgment? Even if it can barely replace the punishment for his crimes, is it possible that all those in the past can be written off in one go? To talk about something else, I think Shi Fangji's love for Zhou Xing is not his love, but his material and emotional demands from Zhou Xing. Of course, Zhou Xing also has problems, but Shi Fangji's problems are obviously bigger, whether it is personal family emotions or major issues concerning the world.
I almost jumped to watch it. In the middle, the eldest brother kept hesitating and was very angry. I was thinking about what kind of secret he could hide from Zhou Xing and would rather die. After seeing this secret, I was really convinced. This is indeed reasonable, so I won't spoil it. I can't say that I burst into tears when I saw the eldest brother returning to Mangcang Mountain and Hantan. They were forced to do this. They were such unruly and unruly people in the beginning. I can better understand that the eldest brother has been protecting Xiaofeng and Lin He. If the eldest brother didn't value friendship, they wouldn't have had the same friendship after Zhou Xing's betrayal. The identity of the eldest brother is like this. We can't say that the eldest brother betrayed Zhou Xing. We can only say that it's all fate. The young couple is so miserable. It's great to watch, but there are too few emotional scenes. The emotional descriptions are very good. They are all smooth and reasonable. But I want to watch the sticky little couple. Woohoo.
I really like the supporting characters in the article. Each has its own story. Although they are accompanying the protagonist, they have not lost their own charm. I haven't had such delicious food in a long time.
It's been really hard for the two of them these years. Normally, for such an immortal, others would think that they have a lot of things and they can do whatever they want, but in fact, they really don't have much. Those 300 years were very lonely and lonely for both of them. So after finally being together, that sincerity becomes even more valuable. But they all bear too much. They can't be themselves. Even a person like Zhou Xing, who is so arrogant, is still kidnapped by those pressures and responsibilities. Even if he wants to throw away those responsibilities, there is no way. There is no other person who can take over this burden. Shi Fangsi seems to have more freedom than him. He can make his own choices, but does he really have this freedom? Friendship and kindness are the same big rocks weighing him down. In fact, if the two of them could be more selfish and not care about anything, they would live a much more comfortable life. It's a pity that they are not that kind of people, they can only carry such a heavy shell. It would be fine if they just simply accepted their fate, but they couldn't let go of each other. Maybe for them, aside from the responsibilities they have to bear, the person next to them is the only attachment left to them in this world. Now it's finally better, they can hold each other in their arms again and enjoy the simple happiness of being together.
It's so good to watch, I really like the entanglement between the eldest brother and Zhou Xing, which is constantly being sorted out and messed up. Finally, they deserve the final ending of their life-and-death encounter. I like Fang Shisi's persistence from the beginning to the final results, but why is it not a kind of confidence that Zhou Xing will not let go of him. And Zhou Xing really gave him this confidence. It's even better when you get to the cold pool at the back. I was forced to risk my life until I finally got the solution 🤩
This article seems to require some literary literacy. I have to read TuT slowly. I want to ask where there is a good description of appearance. I can't find it in the first few chapters. Only "iron-like man"
After reading it, the two little pitiful people have too little, always worry about gains and losses, worry too much, rely on short-term happiness, and are unwilling to be honest with each other, always hurting each other. As a reader, it is obvious to me as an outsider that I am not fully aware of it and have taken many wrong paths. Fortunately, true love still exists and we can stay together in the end
Why is Bichen so heartless? Everyone has their own reasons for this kind of thing, but considering that Chisongmeng's betrayal almost killed her own father, it would be a bit embarrassing to say that it was because of his own incompetence at this time. (I am just complaining because I feel uncomfortable)
I feel that the emotions in this chapter are well handled and very reasonable. Big boost to the author.
