Lord of Fate
Tags
Summary
Learning the cause, the Star Lord resolves to rewrite Chang Yuan's fate, using himself as the key to inscribe the "Heaven and Earth, Dragon Returns" ledger of destiny.
Bound by that ledger, the Star Lord is reborn as Er Sheng and meets the gravely wounded Chang Yuan again. To save his life, Er Sheng is forced into demonic ways; to free her, Chang Yuan willingly returns to the forbidden realm to endure eternal solitude, so that she may return to heaven and be the carefree Star Lord of Destiny once more.
In this life, the two part in death.
When the Star Lord awakens again, he unexpectedly recovers the "Heaven and Earth, Dragon Returns" ledger he once wrote.
It turns out that those carved into the heart are never forgotten, even when memory is lost.
The Star Lord plans once more to free Chang Yuan, only to learn that "Heaven and Earth, Dragon Returns" is a heavenly decree beyond a Star Lord's power to alter.
At last the Star Lord frees Chang Yuan, but Chang Yuan chooses to guard the Void of Ten Thousand Heavens for the balance of heaven and earth. So the Star Lord follows him into the Void and, with his own brush, creates a world for him.
From then on, one pair, one lifetime of peace.
