I Have a Soul-Seizing Banner

Heaven and earth collapse; hellfire consumes all.

All living things are imprisoned; all creation falls silent.

Just an ordinary mortal, with no transmigration and no golden finger. Bearing only a banner to shield his life, he walks through calamity.

He makes himself the blade that breaks heaven’s net.

Then, with wisdom as his vessel, he ferries his way through the hearts of all people.

When Buddha falls, the Dao shatters, and spiritual energy fades away, ghosts weep and demons howl.

Behold this nameless man, forging a destiny of his own atop the ashes of the myriad worlds.
