Honghuang: I, the Moonworm, Suppress the Heavenly Demons with Humanity

During the Dao-Devil War, Demon Ancestor Luohu fell beneath the Immortal Slaying Sword. No one knew that a pool of demon blood in the Western Fiend Abyss absorbed its baleful energy and gave birth to a boy with no memories or understanding. When Nuwa passed through that cursed land, she saw that his nascent spirit was untouched by slaughter, as pure as a blank sheet. She brought him back to the human race and named him Kun Lin. On the night immortal arts entered his body, his demonic nature awakened. The powers of immortality and the devil tore at his soul and spirit from within. While others cultivated in seclusion by breathing in spiritual energy, his retreats were like torture. Every time he broke through a realm, he came close to death. Clinging to one thought, "I want to live and go back to see them," he fused the two forces trying to destroy him into his own path. The Devil known as "Moon Moth" appeared in the world. The Sages wanted him dead. Yuanshi took action, and Hongjun divined the workings of fate. Among the forty-nine possibilities, this man was a complete blank. The Great Dao has fifty, of which Heaven derives forty-nine; one escapes its grasp. The Immortal Dao sees all living beings as ants, while the Devil Dao sees all things as food. He alone forged a third path: to feel, to believe, and to do what cannot be done. This is the Way of Humanity. During the Witch-Demon Tribulation, he stood before humanity's final line of defense and swore, "I'll protect my people myself!" In the Zixiao Palace, he refused to kneel before the Sages. "I face this calamity only because there are people in this world I care about." He severed his bloodline and returned to his true self. What he cut away was not his father, but the idea that one's origins determine one's fate. When the Heavenly Devil brought about the world's destruction, Sages fell and laws crumbled. Only he remained beyond divination and assimilation. The boy proved the Great Dao for himself, established reincarnation, subdued the Heavenly Devil, then declined his title and returned to the fields. Smoke from cooking fires rose across the human world, and every household had a cat.
