The Evil God was destroyed, but its indestructible body was sealed in the depths of the sea.
The people of the world placed suppressing talismans upon it, cursing it to remain trapped forever, never to rise again.

Guan Bai had been dead for three years, drifting beneath the sea and desperately clinging to the last shred of his soul.
He wanted to come back to life. He wanted revenge. He wanted to trample everyone who had hurt him into the dirt and grind them to pieces.
But he couldn't stay alive. Soon, he would vanish completely.
Then the Evil God's body fell down to him.
Every bite of the Evil God's body restored a little of Guan Bai's own flesh.
Best of all, the Evil God's body could regenerate, making it an inexhaustible supply.
With every bite, Guan Bai promised it a wish: If I survive, I'll keep you company in widowhood, and live on with your body.
In the tenth year, Guan Bai's body had finally grown whole. He was reborn beneath the sea and returned to the world above.

Guan Bai was gone. It was so nice not to have someone eating its own flesh.
The Evil God planned to fall into a deep sleep. The human world was rotten through and through, and there was nothing interesting about it.
But a giant machine excavated the depths of the sea, and the Evil God's body was placed in a crystal coffin.
The new head of the Guan family was going to marry a crystal coffin.
On their wedding night, Guan Bai took a bite out of the groom and promised him again: "I'll keep you company in widowhood, honey. Let me have one more bite."
The Evil God laughed in exasperation. "Are you ever going to stop?"
Theme: After enduring countless hardships, the flowers bloom, and hope appears when all seems lost.
