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.

Falling Stardust

<p>Xasha rose to his feet while feeling relaxed, as he hopped off the seat and made his way further up the mountain. His Sword Intent increased with each passing second as Xasha felt like only a thin veil existed between him and awakening his Sword Intent. He had no intention of awakening his Sword Intent for one very Important Reason. What he needed most right now was to awaken his Flame Intent to practice Artificing.</p>

<p>A cultivator can only house a single Intent in his body. No one can subvert that law unless they awaken The King's Intent or a higher grade intent. It is not Impossible for some extremely strong-willed and talented cultivators who awakened The Noble's Intent to awaken a second intent. However, those people are the exeptions to the exception, not something to aspire to.</p>
