This Messenger Won't Fall Anymore
A messenger of the gods who keeps falling – how absurd, right? Don't all messengers typically sport majestic wings?" After witnessing something Atlas shouldn't have, he was condemned to an eternal fall. For over a millennium, he was trapped in the same relentless pattern: • Ascend to the zenith → Succumb to the allure of power • Plunge from grace → Meet a grisly end His duty as a divine messenger was both his raison d'être and the perpetual cause of his villainy. Without his celestial wings, he endured ceaseless falls. But now, unburdened, he has become the antithesis of a villain. He's merely cannon fodder, sharing the same fate. However, he's resolute that this time, he'll reach the summit without falling. And even if he should falter, a loyal companion shadows him across worlds, always there to catch him. So, he fell again and again, just for him. He's the only one he would fall for.

7.4 This messenger's facade
After the morning court, Yixin went to his imperial study and took a seat to review a few papers. While looking in the distance, he couldn't help but think about Atlas.
Yixin contemplated his behavior throughout the imperial feast. He believed the words of the leader of his shadow guards, but seeing Atlas's actions was something else entirely.
He did not doubt that Atlas threw Xiaoshu's crown on purpose, but he felt like his Atlas isn't after the throne. He also knows that Atlas went easy on him.
Yixin was well aware of what Xiaoshu and Chaoyang had been doing to him, so he knew it was only a matter of time before Atlas retaliated. He had to kill both his brothers to survive, so he didn't expect anything less from his sons.
He tried to make it clear that Atlas would never inherit the throne, but his sons were still worried. He could only protect Atlas for so long.
