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

For the ordinary people in the Xiawei Territory, the changes brought by the victory of the war were slow and subtle.


For instance, more and more Mountain People chose to make the Xiawei Territory a transit hub for trading with Nauman City and the various territories of the Agate Stone Plains, greatly enhancing the local economic advantages.


And the ballad poets in the taverns were also singing the praises of their Lord, spreading the name of the Prophet as far as possible, laying the groundwork for the creation of future sects.


Such changes were hardly noticeable to ordinary people, who simply took them for granted, and everyone in the territory was blissfully unaware of them.


But beyond that, there were also swift and tangible changes: for example, curfews had been lifted at night, and more and more Magnetic Storm Armor-clad and well-equipped guards were stationed at key intersections throughout the area, displaying the territory's military strength.
