My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly as he glanced at Old Lady Zhuang.


Old Lady Zhuang had yet to recover her wits when, in the next moment, the world seemed to spin around her. Upon waking, she found herself atop the altar in a small temple, bound by a force, with the Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi from another time and space flowing into her continuously.


And within this temple, there was another altar, upon which sat a woman with a head several times larger than her body, regulating the Heaven and Earth Righteous Qi.


Though Old Lady Zhuang had boundless mana, she felt significantly inferior to that woman.


Realizing that she was in the small temple at the back of Chen Shi's mind, she relaxed and mimicked Stone Rock Lady, aiding Chen Shi in regulating the Righteous Qi.
