The Saint Says She Doesn't Want to Become a God

The priest tells Fanxing:

"You are the saintess of the Zhou Kingdom, the First Divine Kingdom, and the last princess of the Zhou royal family."

The saintess awakens in a savage, lawless ancient territory.

She has lost all her memories, and all she has left is a fallen country to restore.

The year she leaves the Great Wilderness, the Holy Academy opens enrollment.

It's said to be the aspiration of the continent's greatest prodigies, the ultimate cradle for cultivating talent of every kind.

Now, the academy has established a Fifth Palace, admitting only the most exalted saintesses and saints from every kingdom.

These saintesses and saints have gathered there to explore the secrets of an ancient divine kingdom.

As a saintess, Fanxing naturally applies.

The people of the Holy Academy call her the Great Wilderness Saintess.

From crushing the princes and princesses of every faction to claim the top spot in the Heavenly Radiance Trial, to forming a pact with the stars and leaving everyone astounded,

the name Great Wilderness Saintess resounds throughout the three kingdoms.

Fanxing makes her name through the stars, and the stars bring her disgrace.

Everything connected to the people of Zhou is forbidden.

The hand holding Fanxing's blade twitches with anticipation. If she could, she would slaughter everyone in all three kingdoms.

At last, during the Divine Assembly of the Three Kingdoms, Fanxing is dragged onto a high platform to face judgment.

The Divine Kingdom's priest asks solemnly and loudly, "Who are you, really?"

She can stand it no longer. That day, blood spills across the platform, and Fanxing uses it as ink, carving three characters into the wall of the sky with her blade.

"Zhou Fanxing."

Let all beneath heaven know: my name is Fanxing.

A great fire burns through eighteen cities. At the end of the blood-soaked road, Fanxing meets the true god.

The god asks if she is willing to become one.

Fanxing is silent for a long time, then replies, "I will not become a god."

The road to the Uncharted Realm is too far, and the journey is too long.

If she could choose, she would be neither a saintess nor a god.

At last, Fanxing says, "I am willing to wield the blade for all beneath heaven and protect the peace of this world."

The god agrees.

"Command yin and yang, govern life and death. From this day forth, you shall be the Fatekeeper."

#A saintess who doesn't want to summon divine beasts is no worthy Fatekeeper

Before you begin:

1. The story is entirely fictional. Its worldview draws on the Chinese theory of yin-yang and the five elements.

2. There is some romance, but not much. The story concludes when the main plot does.

3. The order of events in the blurb does not necessarily match the order in the story.

Theme: To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
