After the Union

Shen Rushi only remembered three things. His name. He was a seeker. He shouldn't be here. In the final battle, he was forced to use his body to match his Taoism. But before the union was completed, the two worlds collided. When he had clear thoughts again, his physical body, his old friends, and the memories of most of his life were gone, leaving only a wisp of consciousness that had not been dissolved by the law of heaven. After a long sleep, a stick of incense woke him up. The incense comes from a ancestral temple of the Shen family that is about to collapse. Sixteen-year-old Shen Wan knelt in front of the tablet engraved with his name, treating him as an unanswered ancestor. Using her as the first anchor of reality, Shen Rushi reopened the window to see the world, and for the first time he became aware of the connection that he had mistaken for blood.
