Eternal Ascension: The Divine Paradox

In a world where the boundaries between realms are thinning, **Kael Ardent**, a former scholar turned rogue cultivator, discovers an ancient artifact that grants him the power to manipulate time and space. However, this power comes at a cost: every use of the artifact accelerates the collapse of the multiverse. As Kael navigates the treacherous politics of cultivation sects, ancient gods, and interdimensional invaders, he must find a way to master the artifact's power without destroying everything he holds dear. Along the way, he forms alliances with unlikely companions, including a cursed witch, a sentient mech, and a reincarnated dragon. Together, they must uncover the secrets of the artifact and prevent the impending apocalypse.
