Foretold to liberate the Land of Countless Planes from its Tyrant, a child of prophecy was thrust into centuries of struggle and loss.
Though Xu Ling persisted on this arduous path for three hundred years, his efforts still failed him at the last step. His blue eyes closed then, in eternal rest.
The myriad worlds grieved at his untimely end, and the rekindled ember of hope extinguished with him: Heaven's Tyrant Tian was to oppress forever on.

A thousand years after the demise of Xu Ling, the picture moves to a lower world in a remote corner of existence, far away from the influence of the Heavenly Realm. There, a child lies supine by a burning village. Wistfully, he looks at the night sky. 
With the strange entity that had freed him dormant in his consciousness, the rekindled ember so greets the stars of his fallen companions:
"Fret not and watch over me, you all,"
he reassures them,
"As our conflagration again blazes at the loathsome despot usurping the Highest Throne."

Immortal Ascension Tower (TOJ)

A tale of incomparable loss, of warmth amidst despair, and a promise of remembrance forevermore. 


And a wish; for moonlight when stuck in pitch-black, for sunshine if ever lost or broken.
