High above the High Sky, there were not endless Stars, but an Abyss filled with dead stellar carcasses.
Ordinary people on land, looking up, saw only the reflection of the starry sky, the remnants of the Abyss, unable to see the real starry sky.
Common Humanity could not step into the Abyss, and even the surface area ten thousand meters up in the High Sky was beyond the reach of many, let alone climb there with tools, only to be frozen by some mysterious rule of power, and could only wait for death or a miracle to arrive.
Only Transcendents with sufficient Strength could rely on their own power to step above the High Sky, or those Abyss-level Origin Beasts, who would choose to enter it once their Strength reached a certain level.
Especially in the shallower tiers of the Abyss, some High-tier Origin Beasts would 'settle' there, forming a peculiar social ecosystem among themselves.
