The Story of Heaven Official’s Blessing

Heaven Official’s Blessing: The Journey Begins

“In ‘Heaven Official’s Blessing’, this mythological adventure introduces us to a young prince, whose path to divinity is marked by a defining moment of courage and conviction. In a pivotal encounter, he faces a ferocious evil ghost on a bridge, and after a fierce battle, he emerges victorious. This bravery catches the God-Emperor’s attention, to whom he utters the profound words, ‘BODY IN ABYSS, HEART IN PARADISE.’ This statement, emblematic of his resilience and purity of spirit, propels him to ascend to godhood. Despite his newfound divine status, he valiantly fights for his kingdom, a decision that leads to devastating consequences. His efforts, though noble, end in failure, resulting in the loss of public faith and the destruction of his temples. Amidst this widespread despair, there remains one unwavering believer in him, a testament to enduring faith in the face of adversity.”

Heaven Official’s Blessing: A Prince’s Fall and Rise

“Following the war, he returns to the heavens, only to face a harsh punishment: the stripping away his divinity. This punishment manifests as a cursed shackle bound to his feet, severing his connection to mana, and symbolizing his exile to the mortal world. This fall from grace marks his first descent into a life that is neither fully divine nor wholly human. In this liminal state, he confronts the full spectrum of human suffering and survival, experiencing firsthand the vulnerability and powerlessness that define the human condition.”

Heaven Official’s Blessing: The Curse and Redemption

He faces his darkest moments, where the desire for revenge consumes him. Misled and driven by vengeance, he unleashes a terrifying disease upon the world, a curse born from his wrath. However, during this chaos, the inherent compassion and kindness of humanity shine through, leading him to a painful realization of his mistake.

Tragically, the curse he has set in motion cannot be easily undone. In a poignant turn of events, his willingness to be sacrificed to end the curse is met with the inability of anyone to harm him. It is in this moment of despair that the kindness of people saves him from his own hatred, and his most faithful believer makes the ultimate sacrifice, taking the curse upon themselves.

Heaven Official’s Blessing: The Path of Humility

This act of selflessness and the realization of the consequences of his actions lead him to renounce his path of revenge. He ascends to godhood once again, but with a heart no longer desiring the powers and responsibilities of a deity. However, in a defiant stand against the leader of the gods, he faces severe repercussions. He is punished with a second descent, this time marked by the imposition of a second cursed shackle around his neck, which blocks his fortune and destiny, symbolizing a deeper severance from his divine origins. Choosing this path, he embraces a life of humility and simplicity, a stark contrast to his previous existence as a god.

Heaven Official’s Blessing: A New Perspective

Over eight hundred years, he learns to let go of past grievances and embraces the ebb and flow of life, observing the complexities of human nature and the necessity of actions taken for survival. His journey through the world is one of quiet introspection and acceptance, leading to a profound inner transformation.

Heaven Official’s Blessing: The Final Ascension

“Ultimately, he ascends to godhood for the third time, but with a perspective forever changed by his earthly experiences. Confronted with the mysteries of his past, he approaches them with detachment. This detachment, however, is contrasted by the unwavering faith of his sole, devoted follower, who has remained loyal through every form he has taken – be it human, God, or devil. This follower, who made the ultimate sacrifice by taking the curse upon themselves for him, endured near annihilation and a hellish trial, only to emerge as the most powerful ghost king. Their return to his side symbolizes an unbreakable bond and a testament to the enduring power of loyalty and sacrifice.”
