To protect my people, I became a God.

In Semeria, the war for cultivation resources is as old as time and as constant as the rising and of the sun. Even in the Abandoned Region, where the energy was so poor and polluted that one wouldn’t send their worst enemy there, had endless conflicts for resources. Humans had been living in this nightmare made a reality, fighting over what anyone else on the continent would consider crumbs for millions of years.

Enter Xasha, husband, father, patriarch, Genius, artificer, creationist, and leader of the Falling Stardust Trading Company, who learns the truth of the world from three remnant souls he met on a journey. Having learned they had been living like frogs in a well. Humanity reluctantly united under Xasha’s rule and sets off. Determined to rise from their standing and one day ruling the entire continent.

Xasha soon realizes their strength, even combined, was the weakest on the continent. To become stronger, they needed better resources. But all the lands had landlords and all the resources had owners. He could not turn back, they could not give up. He had a person to elevate, a family to care for, and a daughter who had a powerful and mysterious entity eyeing her from afar, to protect.

In order to achieve any of his goals, any of humanity's goals. Those landlords had to die, their people had to be pillaged, and their lands had to be plundered. He inadvertently fell into the cycle. According to the Laws of cultivation.

Law of Cultivation:
To cultivate: acquire and retain resources.
To acquire resources: plunder and pillage.
To retain resources: Leave none Alive.

"Lili, you've been really busy lately," Blossom said casually as she happily skipped down the dirt track.

"Stop doing that. You're just kicking up dust back here," Xeik complained as he covered his face with his hand.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" Blossom ran back to check on Xeik. Using her handkerchief to clean his face.

Lili chuckled in ridicule. Blossom was basically her uncle's mother at this point. He was such a hopeless little man.

"I've just been trying to get a bit more training done. I can't always be stuck at 4th place, can I?" Lili looked away from Blossom nervously. Blossom had superhuman senses that can tell whenever someone was lying. It was not an innate ability, just a characteristic she had.

She tried to focus on perceiving her surroundings. Trees that were releasing a very peculiar scent surrounded them. The origin of the scent was a curtain hormone that acts as a hallucinogen. This affected their senses and orientations.
