Supreme Karma: Embers

[Proud, noble ancient goddess × lively, easily embarrassed human cultivator]

In ancient times, the Divine Venerable Xige opened a divine war to save all living beings. A woman of the demon race sacrificed herself to save the world, was struck by heavenly lightning, and fell into the cycle of reincarnation. After sealing Jue Ling, Xige fell into slumber, leaving behind a legend of salvation that endured through the ages.

Ten thousand years later, Si Yanqing accidentally awakened the sleeping Xige. When Xige questioned her, Si Yanqing hid her admiration in her heart and shyly denied it.

As they traveled the world, Si Yanqing confessed her feelings while drunk, but Xige could not respond because she practiced the Way of Supreme Detachment from Emotion.

When Si Yanqing learned Xige's true identity, she felt unworthy and urged her to return to the divine realm. The demon race launched a surprise attack, Xuanling Pavilion was destroyed, and Si Yanqing's life hung by a thread. Xige's emotions awakened.

Si Yanqing wandered the ghost realm, where her memories awakened and revealed her fated entanglement with Xige. The seal on the world-destroying Demon God was lifted. Xige's divine power had not yet recovered, and she was wounded in the battle. Controlled by demonic energy, Si Yanqing plunged a sword into Xige. With blood-stained hands, Xige caressed Si Yanqing's cheek, her voice choked with emotion: "Yanqing, I no longer have the strength to purge the demonic energy from you. Please, come to your senses."

The power of a divine artifact awakened within Si Yanqing, and she returned Xige's divine essence to her.

The goddess protects humankind, yet humans seek to kill the goddess.
