so I watched shrek forever after.
and all I'm going to say is: wwx is *exactly* the type of person who would give up the day he's born in order to save his loved ones.

wwx makes the deal with jyl's still-warm body still lying in his arms: his soul, his life, his very existence in exchange for the the wellbeing and happiness of his loved ones. he no longer cares what becomes of him—so long as those he cares about are safe and alive.

because the universe is merciful, it accepts the deal, and wwx's existence is wiped from reality.
because the universe is cruel, wwx continues to live.
nobody knows who he is, or what his name is, or where he is from. and there was never a 'wei wuxian' or 'yiling patriarch'.

if this had happened a few years ago, wwx would be horrified at how every trace of him has been erased from the world.
wwx as he is now is just... tired.
so tired.
he would have preferred death, but the universe gave him this—so this is what he will have to work with.

piece by piece, bit by bit, he picks himself back up. he no longer has a golden core, so cultivator work is out of the question when it comes to earning money—and he doesn't want to draw attention with demonic cultivation again.
he gets by with portraits he sketches on the spot.

he manages to snag a deal on a small dilapidated farmhouse by a small river. piece by piece, bit by bit, he rebuilds it with his own hands and coaxes life out of the soil and river.
sometimes he hears news when he goes to sell his produce to a restaurant.

sect leader jin has passed. his son jzx takes over the sect. jzx's wife jyl is expecting their second child. sect leader jiang has stepped down to allow his son to take over. the gusu lan sect welcomes its largest class of disciples yet.
wwx hears all and yet none of it.

he cannot go see them. he's nothing more than a simple, humble farmer now. the cultivation world is well out of his reach. they don't even know him; to them, he never existed. this is for the best.
that doesn't stop wwx from drinking during particularly difficult nights.

he's not himself during those nights. sometimes he cries himself to sleep, his robes reeking of cheap alcohol. sometimes he rages at the sky, cursing the heavens for his fate.
sometimes, his hand moves without his permission, and he wakes the next morning to a new drawing.
