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

A squad's supply of Elemental Crystals was enough to last Ian's Armor Suit until the end of the year.


And Ian's original target had been the Leyan Territory, but now he also had a military mission, which meant an additional reward on top of his original goal.


As for the second point, it goes without saying that Ian never intended to leave any enemies alive; on this, his views were completely aligned with Marquis Barton. No matter the reasons or hardships, anyone who impeded the management of his territory had to die—it did no harm to be ruthless.


The third point likely referred to the large-scale offensive The Empire was planning against the Naling Western Frontier after the Flashflame Fortress Cluster declared its independence.


Prior to that, in order to better harass the South Ridge serving as the rear, the Fiery Flame Land would definitely urge the Dragon Group and the Mountain People to intensify their attacks.
