A single wisp of Xuwu’s obsession remained undying, his soul lingering for tens of thousands of years until he finally returned through rebirth. Driven by a thirst for vengeance, he cultivated until he reached the Saint Realm, at which point he began hunting for the old man who had framed him in his past life.
He searched for a long time, scouring the entire continent, but to his disappointment, he could not find the old man. Eventually, he learned from others that the man he intended to kill had long since perished. At that moment, Xuwu felt that all his years of forbearance had been for nothing. Unable to exact revenge with his own hands, he felt as though everything in the world had lost its meaning. Thus, he began to pursue the true essence of life. He stopped trusting anyone, choosing instead to cultivate in total isolation, refusing to rely on any power that might constrain him. From that moment on, it was as if all shackles had been cast off; his cultivation surged, and in a remarkably short time, he reached the Ancestral God Realm.
However, once Xuwu attained the peak of the Fifth Step of Return-to-Truth Ancestral God, someone else reached the Dominator Throne first, becoming the first Era Overlord of Xuwu’s era. This era became known as the Great Thousand Era. With an Era Overlord already established, Xuwu’s path seemed to have reached its end. He joined the sect of a former era’s dominator and chose to pass away.
