The King's Avatar: Fellow Daoist, You Are Courting Disaster

In this fan work based on The King's Avatar, a modern Taoist priest named Zhongli meets his end in 2025 after accidentally swallowing a Golden Elixir and being struck down by heavenly tribulation. While Earth loses an inconsequential Longhu Mountain cultivator, the world of Glory gains a fortune-telling young priest. When Su Mucheng first encounters him, she is captivated by his ethereal beauty, wondering if he has descended from the heavens themselves. Zhongli immediately warns her that her darkened complexion signals impending bloodshed, urging caution. Her brother, Su Muqiu, barely restrains himself from overturning the priest’s stall, insisting his dark circles are merely from sleepless nights rather than ill omens. Meanwhile, Su Mucheng eagerly asks about her future marriage prospects as Zhongli’s banner flutters dramatically behind him. With Ye Xiu and Su Muqiu watching intently, the young priest declares that her destined husband is neither far nor near. The resulting awkward silence prompts both men to consider violence against the fortune teller, marking the chaotic first meeting of what would eventually become Glory’s greatest legends.
