Taixu Ballad

On the day the Taixu Divine King fell, blood rained for three days across the realms. He fell into reincarnation and awoke as the legitimate son of the Ye family in Qingyun Domain—a cripple with all nine meridians severed. His engagement was torn up, his clansmen bullied him. At sixteen, the Ye family was massacred. The youth lay in a pool of blood, but at the brink of death, he fully awakened. He stood up, his eyes reflecting ten thousand years of vicissitudes. Emerging from the ruins of Cangyun City, he trod Qingyun, stormed the Netherworld, conquered the Demon Domain, and pacified the Northern Frontier. The Ghost Princess abandoned her throne to follow him through life and death, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox waited for a millennium, and the Ice Empress thawed her heart for him. The saintess who once broke off the engagement knelt before him; he only said, 'The engagement was already torn up.' The nine domains unified, and he ascended to the Divine Realm. Those who betrayed him still sat high on divine thrones. Outside the Heavenly Gate, a young man in blue robes stood with his hands behind his back. 'This sword strike has been owed for ten thousand years.' In a tavern, a storyteller plucked a three-stringed lute, weaving the grievances of ten thousand years into a ballad, sung in the streets and alleys. The song is called—Taixu Ballad.
