something that makes shi quingxuan's corrupted ascension to godhood more painful is that sqx was a good god.
beloved by their followers, kind, charitable, and was always trying to do good things. sqx was a genuinely good person, who stuck up for xie lian, and didn't automatically assume the worsts of hua cheng despite what other heavenly officials said.
shi qingxuan being a much better god than many of the others who earned or "deserved" their spots, makes their fate sadder to me
Whats even sadder is that I belive he definitely could reascend if he put his mind to it. Heck, itd be easy with his expirence and the help of XL. But he wouldnt allow himself to. Knowing his first ascension was fake, he'd let himself grow old and pass on.
