Great Desolation: The First Saint of the West

A soul from later generations mistakenly enters the Great Desolation, unexpectedly becoming the Western treasure that stabilizes destiny, the Twelfth-Grade Merit Golden Lotus. To escape the fate of becoming a saint's treasure, he races against time, transforms into form ahead of schedule, and takes the Dao name Xuan De. Facing the arriving Jie Yin and Zhunti, he neither hides nor flees, but instead rides the momentum into Mount Sumeru, maneuvers through Dao discussions, and places his pieces amid the web of karma. He forms good affinities with Zhen Yuanzi and Red Cloud, jointly shouldering the great merit of repairing the Western spiritual veins; and in the torrent of the Witch-Demon Cataclysm, he fights for a sliver of hope for the barren West. When the Eight Treasures Merit Pool brims with water, when the Bodhi grove shades the Western lands.
