Eternal Sacrifice

He was a 'weapon' jointly created by the three clans of Buddha, Demon, and Immortal, destined from birth to lose everything. His wife and daughter were sacrificed, his disciple burned his life force, his son bore the mark—one by one, his loved ones died due to fate, and even his right to weep was stripped away by the Buddha's heart. After enduring the bizarre progenitor of nine reincarnations, the primordial will that devoured all realms, and the world-ending war with three clans pressing in, the truth was revealed: his greatest enemy was another version of himself. This is the epic of a man who stands up again and again in despair. In the end, he cuts off all his cultivation and retrieves all the lost souls from the river of time. The final bowl of soup is the full embodiment of this 'permission.' To come to the mortal world once, through countless darkness and suffering, and finally in this bowl of soup that is just salty enough—it is all worth it.
