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

Although he had led his team to kill more people today than probably the sum of the past several years, he nevertheless revealed a faint smile, "The plan has already been largely successful."


The Cyclops Giant stood tall atop the castle, gazing over the entire city, quelling all the restless thoughts.


Meanwhile, inside Leyan City, those who were not Sublimators but still counted as significant figures in the eyes of Ordinary people, were also gathering towards Leyan Castle, filled with fear and trepidation. 


Whether it was the Rebel Highlanders or the Xuānfēng Sect, they all scraped off some benefits when they entered Leyan City; frankly, that was just the norm in the state of war in Terra.


Not to mention, supplies were a necessity, right? Especially in these small, rural areas where the wars were chaotic, with no side having a complete logistical system, one naturally had to make do with what was available locally.
