Gloomy Sky Hidden God

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago.
Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance.
Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more.
Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred.
The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land.
Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky.
They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way.
They were all prisoners.
One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life.
He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles.
He wanted to become a star.
To return to Above the Sky.
"I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates."
"I just want to go Above the Sky."
——Ian.

Above The Sky

The Grand Hall of the Sacrificial Ground was immense, like a palace fit for Giants, its entire atmosphere majestic as mountains, and it was well-lit, even giving the impression of being bathed in sunlight on the earth's surface for a moment.


All around the hall, there were complex and intricate murals, with vibrant, brilliant colors that had not faded despite hundreds or thousands of years. Above, on the ceiling, fluorite stones gleamed like stars, casting a radiant but not blinding light, and together with other parts of the smooth, mirror-like ceiling, they sufficiently illuminated the vast hall, even with few light sources.


However, what surprised Ian the most was the huge metal devices located in the center of the hall.


And the man in front of the metal devices.


Within the range of the Silent Voice Ring, Yisen Gard murmured with a complex tone, "He really did come in…chasing to kill me."
