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

When Ian and Hua'an found the purple sphere nestled in the misty sofa, Morphia also expressed surprise in her voice, "Aren't you... supposed to be on a mission in South Ridge? How come you're back in the Imperial Capital? The mentor will scold you, you know."


"And this one is..." She turned her head—or truth be told Ian couldn't quite grasp how a sphere would turn its head, but instinct told him she indeed turned and conveyed a 'tilting head in puzzlement' sort of feeling.


"This is a wild kinsfolk I encountered on my way through South Ridge!"


And Hua'an was not the least bit afraid of the mentor's punishment; she said confidently, "On the road, I also met a wild, native junior, and I enlightened her with the form and spirit-awakening ritual... Humph, I didn't delay the mission, because that wild, native junior happened to come from the Great Labyrinth of the Southern Sea!"
