Watcher in the Dark

When human technology reached the stars, humanity was no longer content to remain within its home star domain and began exploring beyond it. But when interstellar laser cannons blasted open the vast, uninhabited reaches of space, they also opened the starry battlefield of the Seven Universes.

The Insect Universe swarms across the heavens, devouring everything;

The Demon Universe seethes with demonic energy, driving all who enter mad;

The Immortal Universe stands high above, its people enjoying endless life;

The God Universe turns faith into divinity, its divine kingdoms boundless;

The Burial Universe teems with deathly energy, a forbidden land of death;

The Monster Universe is divided among countless clans, where the strong prey on the weak;

The Fantasy Universe feeds on worship and defies all reason.

Every race on the battlefield has set its sights on humanity, which has yet to embark on the path of cultivation. The demons need only draw near to corrupt hundreds of human star domains, leaving none of their inhabitants untouched. The gods keep countless humans in captivity in their divine kingdoms, solely to harvest their faith.

Fantasy beings cling to human shoulders, draining their vitality and feeding on every kind of emotion and desire.

The monsters make humans their prey, the insects infest their flesh, the immortals use them as test subjects, and the burial clans drag them into forbidden lands of death to assimilate them.

What path can humanity take? Generation after generation fights back with their lives, following one another into battle.

Our heads may fall and our blood may flow, but we will not surrender the land of our ancestors or let our people be wiped out.

Some perish alongside their enemies, some kneel and surrender, while others learn from the enemy to defeat them, taking up their ways of cultivation.

The First Human King kindled hope, the Second Human King slew his foes without equal, and the Third Human King was a master strategist who was crowned king atop Mount Tai.

Xu Guangfu refuses to live an ordinary life. He will advance with all his might and bring this age of chaos to an end. I will be bound by nothing, and the martial path has no limits!
