Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

AZI Volume 3 Chapter 39.5 Intermission – The Immortal in Red and the Immortal Emperor of Yuling

In another time, in another era—during a time where the Leng Bing Realm had only just been created, there was once an emperor who had ruled over a land called the Yuling Empire.

Despite possessing the status of emperor, the emperor was not a man, but a woman—and unlike common emperors, she had reigned over her land for well over 300 years; thus, in the process of performing her duties to the people, the infant-aged world came to grant her the title of the "Immortal Emperor."

Yet, as history of other lands had shown, no emperor could reign forever, and no nation was everlasting.

Despite being called the Immortal Emperor, the emperor was not a genuine Immortal; she did not command supernatural forces, nor was she a natural disaster's incarnation.

She merely possessed a body—that was akin to the Immortals, which in turn, granted her a much greater lifespan than the common mortal.

Eventually, her body started to show signs of deterioration, and with it, she was left with two options—leave for Mount Changqiu with the hopes of seeking a true Immortal's aid, or continue her imperial duties until death.

Ultimately, she chose to leave for Mount Changqiu, and forcefully, staying by the emperor's side throughout her journey—was a man dressed in red robes.

During their journey together, the emperor had remarked—

"Young man, life is long. Don't think just because you have the body of an Immortal, you can belittle others."

"Life is long. Maybe that's the case for others, but for me… I have two years at most."

Similarly, to the emperor, the man in the red robes possessed an Immortal trait, his being in the form of physical strength—that no mortal may hope to contend against.

However, the man in the red robe's body had a defect, in which, their lifespan is miserably short.

"What do you mean?"

"Whatever is granting me my Immortal attributes is flawed. According to records left by the ancestors of the Yan Empire's imperial family, a person with a body like mine—is only able to live for up to 30 years."

"You wanted to obtain my family's Immortal art to extend your life, isn't that why—you entered my palace under the guise of a eunuch?"

"That was my original intention."

"And what is your intention now?"

"Your family's Immortal art won't work as well on me. All it does is transfer one individual's lifespan onto another. But the amount of life force—that an Immortal needs, to maintain their incomprehensible amount of longevity, isn't something that can just be obtained off an ordinary mortal or two. How many lives must be sacrificed for me—who possesses an Immortal's body, to live for a full year?"

"…"

"Brother Yu, no, Lady Yu—I ask that you be my eyes, watch over me to the end of my life, and live on as my proof; proof of me—having once walked on this earth. In exchange, so long as I live, I shall guard you from all manners of danger—to the best of my abilities."

Together, the two demi-Immortals journeyed towards Mount Changqiu—each with their individual goal in mind.
