Intense guilt tormented me throughout the night, leaving me utterly sleepless, and with my body failing, my vitality swiftly drained away. One year for others felt like a decade on me.
While tutoring Gu Sheng and his brother Gu Qian, I struggled to nurture my failing health.
I couldn't die too soon, I had to try to live a few more years.
But it was no use, the sins I had committed were too great. Man acts, heaven watches; the heavens have eyes, and now my retribution had arrived.
This space was a small gathering and storage space left by an ascending Immortal, operating on principles in harmony with the heavenly laws: it took from the abundant to supplement the deficient.
The way of heaven was to level and fill, reduce the surplus to supplement the needy, to maintain the stability of this world.
