Dead people can surpass the living and become characters with even greater popularity.
He Zhishu always believed this.
Even after he was chosen to transmigrate into an infinite-reset game world, he still believed it, and used the two accounts in his hands to weave an endless dream for the world.
The righteous sect's foremost sword cultivator, hailed as the "Undying Radiance," lowers his eyes and reaches out to all living beings, gently leading them step by step toward the light.
The Lord of Villains, said to be the very embodiment of original sin, reigns high above. With a wave of his hand, he unleashes one shocking disaster after another upon the mortal world, sending the masses into a dark abyss of death.
Everyone says that "Swordmaster" is the brightest cloud in the heavens, the most dazzling light of this age.
Everyone says that "Chang Ying" was born evil, that he scorns human life, delights in others' suffering, and loves luring people into traps to devour them.
But when disaster struck, it wasn't the Swordmaster who pulled them out of the time vortex. It was Chang Ying.
The rotten man saved them and walked away without a word of explanation, leaving them behind, their hearts in turmoil.
Why? Why hadn't the Swordmaster come to save them, even after hearing the news? Why had Chang Ying suddenly appeared, willing to save them at the cost of grievous injuries and blindness?
They were lost and searched everywhere, only to suddenly realize that they couldn't find even a trace of the Swordmaster. The Swordmaster they'd seen had been nothing but a projection or a remnant echo from the past.
Then someone told them:
[Stop looking.]
[The Swordmaster died long ago.]
They refused to believe it.
They couldn't believe that the brilliant light had fallen, that they had been separated by life and death before ever meeting, or that anyone could truly die in this endlessly repeating world.
They didn't believe it until they fell into the history of the past and saw the Swordmaster standing alone against the disaster, giving his life to bring victory and peace to the world...
They broke down.
The players broke down too.
[What do you mean the Swordmaster died long ago and all we saw was a historical projection?]
[Aaaaaah, Shanhai Youyan, are you insane? Killing off popular characters is one thing, but you actually killed off your most popular character?!]
[So that's why the Swordmaster didn't come to save us back then. He was dead... (accepts it)]
[Good news, everyone! The Swordmaster didn't stop loving us, he just died hahaha]
[Another one's gone mad. Great (sobbing)]

"How interesting." Leaning against the throne of the abyss, He Zhishu chuckled as he read the comments on the forum. "Can't take it already?"
"Then what will you do when you find out that Chang Ying is actually your beloved Swordmaster?"
"A lost one returned from a tragic, ruined timeline, a savior who abandoned everything and stubbornly went his own way..."
"How will you face him?"
He Zhishu smiled, his eyes crinkling.
He really couldn't wait for the day the truth came to light.
