    Summary

    Would the problem of the elders trying to get him to stop worshipping his god be solved if he told Hua Cheng? Yes, they would also have less elders in Gusu. And that would stress out his Bofu. So he will not be essentially getting his elders a death sentence because he is a filial son but stressing out his Bofu will give Baba more work and more work means Baba can’t play for a-Niang.

    Summary

    He’s not going to scream.

    He’s not going to scream.

    He’s not, He’s not, He’s not!

    Not when they force him onto the alter, not when they pin him down, not when they bind his hands.

    He struggles but there are so many of them and even with all his god’s strength he can’t break free. Just like last time… Just like… Just like…

    No, No, No, No,

    Not again

    Not…

    OR Xie Lian is captured by some of Hua Cheng's worshippers who decide to honor the ghost king by sacrificing a cultivator on his alter.

    Summary

    ARCHIVIST (STATEMENT)
    I did not kill anyone on that day who did not deserve to be cleaved of their consciousness. I swung the axe on all of them and I would not have stopped if I had lived past that night. I would never have seen peace, but I would not have been trapped by my violence. Not a single soul in this world is truly human, and anyone who pretends otherwise is lying to themselves. Each and every one of us is a chunk ripped violently from the flesh of the rest of the universe. What does it matter, how many pieces we’re in?
    All of this is, of course, the fault of Shi Wudu.

    Statement of He Xuan, regarding the material state of a body that used to be human.

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)
