When the Firmament Fades

A cataclysm struck the ancestral planet! Cultivators from beyond the heavens tore through the void and arrived, searching relentlessly for a particular target under their ironclad rule: “Better to kill the innocent than let one escape.” Wherever they went, they burned cities and laid waste to the land. Civilians and soldiers alike were reduced to dust by their world-destroying spells, and the ancestral planet became a living hell in an instant. At this desperate moment, the hidden masters of the ancestral planet emerged in fury! Swordlight split the sky, secret arts shook the earth, and countless heroes threw themselves into a brutal battle against the invaders. Yet the enemy’s forces were overwhelming. One guardian after another fell in a blaze of blood beneath the heavens… But the people’s spirits were never broken! Just as civilization teetered on the brink of collapse, the world consciousness of the ancestral planet awakened with a roar! Using its origin power, it raised a magnificent barrier across the starry expanse, shutting the invaders out. Though the barrier could not last forever, it won the dying planet a chance to catch its breath: a precious thousand years! At the same time, the world consciousness exhausted its final strength and turned its last hope into boundless spiritual energy, scattering it across the land. The dormant paths of cultivation began to awaken! A thousand years of respite, spiritual energy rekindled: an unprecedented era dawned. Technological civilization and the ancient path of cultivation would collide and intertwine on this scarred yet thriving land, composing a new chapter together!
