**Parasitic spores, the price of the Path!** Lin Mo, a young survivor of a mining disaster, has the frost-eye fungus accidentally take root in his right arm. He awakens the power of precognition, but pays a horrific price: his skin crystallizes, making him the only Fungus Cultivator in the universe. He digs through the universe’s fungal veins for cultivation techniques, seeking a way to break through and survive the price of his power, walking the razor’s edge between crystallization and having his lifespan devoured.
**A Shepherd conspiracy casts its shadow across the stars, and human civilization stands on the brink of annihilation!** The Council of Controllers has grown corrupt. Traitors from the Chen and Qin families have joined forces with the Shepherd civilization. Neural parasites infest all things, while the Pangu AI manipulates the masses, all to activate the “Stargate Coordinates” that will devour the sea of stars. Bearing a fragment of an ancient fungal core, Lin Mo joins forces with Ling Shuang, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hub, and an allied insect queen. He awakens in the Buried Fungus Ice Abyss, fights bloody battles at the Eye of the Silent Void, and risks his life at the edge of a black hole!
**From the fungal wars of Blue Star to the search for fungi across the stars, from a lifespan-devouring alliance to the eternal brilliance of the Rainbow Bridge!** This is an epic, blood-soaked journey of flesh and fungal bodies battling an interstellar conspiracy. Individual crystallization and ascension versus the leap that decides civilization’s survival; the revolution of resonating fungal veins tears apart the old order. Above the Nine Realms of the Fungal Firmament lies eternal frost, or the rebirth of civilization? See how Lin Mo, a Fungus Cultivator trapped between crystal-bone armor and the lifespan-devouring Eye, kindles the spark of symbiosis across the universe!
