#hc slightly changes his view of the former god when he mentions that he achieved everything for the person he loved

[sweepingboy]

au where mu qing takes hua cheng's challenge, loses and is the only god to fullfill ghost's demands and give up his status (he does it with pride of course).

so he steps down, cuts his hair and vanishes for a couple of decades leaving feng xin his territory (the other god is mad and heartbroken again).

in his banishment he starts thinking about his life if he ever even wanted to be a god. his mother has been dead for years now and he doesn't have to worry about his income anymore so maybe starting over is not a bad thing?

(meanwhile hua cheng keeps following him displeased with how easily mu qing accepted his lose.)
