The 8-Year-Old Goddess Episode 1

For three hundred years, the being known as Li Xiao has lived as a silent, wide-eyed orphan in a backwater village. To the cultivators who pass through, she's just another piece of the scenery, a pitiful child with no spiritual roots. They have no idea they're bowing to fetch water for the Goddess of Eternal Frost, who slumbered here after a great celestial war. Her only rule: do not harm her people. That rule is shattered when the arrogant heir of the Heavenly Sword Sect arrives, demanding a rare herb that grows near her hut. When the villagers refuse, he orders their homes purged with heavenly flame. As the fire rages, the young master, Jin Lang, sneers at the little girl who steps calmly into the inferno. He tells her to run along. That's when her teddy bear falls to the ash. Her eyes, once innocent, glow with the cold light of dead stars. With a sigh that chills the very air, she speaks her first words in centuries: "You broke my toy." In that moment, a pressure descends that cracks the foundations of mountains. Every cultivator for a thousand miles feels their core tremble. The legends were true. The Sleeping Goddess is awake, and she's furious. News spreads like wildfire. Sects that have schemed for millennia now scramble to offer tribute, desperate to appease the child-shaped deity living in a burnt-out hut. But Jin Lang's sect, fueled by pride, decides on a more foolish path: capture. They believe her power must be a treasure they can steal. They're about to learn that some beings are not to be trifled with. As armies of cultivators descend upon the humble village, they find not a scared child, but a bored goddess wondering if it's finally time to clean up the mortal realm for good. The cultivation world thought it bowed to heaven. Now, heaven is an eight-year-old asking for candy.
