Jiang Buren rebelled against the Six Paths just to gather the pieces of Xie Mi'an's soul scattered across countless worlds.

Jiang Buren × Xie Mi'an
One-on-one, happy ending (emphatic nod)
"If you were no longer the celestial immortal high above, and I were no longer an official of the Six Paths of reincarnation, could there be something between us?"
Outside the gates of Jiutian City, beneath tiered buildings with green-tiled eaves, Jiang Buren held the still-warm body tightly in his arms. He had carefully sealed its soul inside the Golden Glass Tower, layer by layer, nine layers in all.
But the tower he had given his life to protect in his arms was ultimately shattered into pieces, and the young immortal's soul scattered across millions of worlds. So he rebelled against the Six Paths and searched for that familiar, distant person in the desolate autumn wind. He fell into a thousand cycles of reincarnation and became entangled in a hundred lifetimes of connection.
"Jiang Buren."
When I call your name again, will you still turn around? Were all those repeated twists of fate and near misses traces of your thousand cycles of reincarnation?
One day:
"For harmony between Heaven and the Underworld, and for the sake of all living beings, I can only reluctantly tie the red thread around your wrist, Jiang Buren."
"...?"
Jiang Buren's lips curved slightly as he raised his wrist. "My lord immortal, hasn't the red thread been there all along?"
Xie Mi'an's righteous expression froze. He turned his head and refused to admit it. "I'm the only one who can see it. Don't make things up."
Jiang Buren playfully wound the thread around his fingers and leaned closer to Xie Mi'an. "Is that so?"
Xie Mi'an held his breath. "O-of course!"
