Xu Qiongyun was a celebrated prodigy among the gods, blessed with talent and quick to advance. Yet the Lord of the Gods sent him down to the mortal realm to gain experience. His mission was to punish the wicked, aid the weak, and understand the people, so he could become a better ruler. Xu Qiongyun was usually arrogant and disobedient, but he set off to carry out this task without hesitation. He had a private motive: in the history of the Heavenly Realm, there had been a legendary figure whom Xu Qiongyun worshipped above all others. Sadly, that figure had fallen long ago, and everything about this god was forbidden knowledge in the Heavenly Realm. So Xu Qiongyun decided to descend to the mortal world, hoping he might find traces of the legend there.
Only after arriving in the human world did this brash, mischievous little deity learn that the Heavenly Realm saw only a small part of the world. Historical records often differed from the truth, and most ghosts and monsters who lingered among humans meant no harm. After all, love was greater than hate.
As he gained more experience, Xu Qiongyun heard countless stories, let go of many old obsessions, and made many friends. His outlook changed in many ways, but his original purpose remained the same.
He thought he could make the world a better place, never realizing that he himself was the most heroic and tragic person in the world.
