A modern transmigration romance about a couple who travel to the Sacred Soul Star Realm. Sacred Soul Star Realm: Twin Reincarnation, also known as Prelude to Against the Firmament
In 2149, when interstellar travel had become commonplace on Earth, astrophysicist Lin Yan and ancient-text conservator Su Wan disappeared during a rare celestial event known as “the Convergence of Star Paths.” The observation capsule carrying them was swallowed by a suddenly torn rift in space. As their consciousness faded, a fine, shimmering light appeared between their tightly clasped hands.
When they opened their eyes again, they had been reborn as children in the Sacred Soul Star Realm. Suspended at the heart of a nebula, this planet draws its power from “soul cores.” Every life awakens a unique soul core at birth, and its attributes determine one's talents: one might become a “psionic” who controls the elements, a “beast tamer” who communicates with spirit beasts, or a “sacred smith” who forges holy artifacts. Soul-core ranks, from bronze to divine, directly determine one's place in the Star Realm's hierarchy. One man alone can resolve the war among three kingdoms.
At that time, the Sacred Soul Star Realm was in an era of hidden turmoil. The “Sacred Soul Church,” which controlled the central continent, suppressed those with “mutant soul cores” in outlying regions under the pretext of “purifying abnormal cores.” In the east, the “Ten Thousand Beasts Domain” was running out of resources and repeatedly clashed with human city-states. Meanwhile, the “Wastesoul Desert” in the west was rife with a prophecy that a “Void Soul Core” would devour the Star Realm.
After being reborn, Chen Ling awakened the rare “Star Path Soul Core,” which let him see spatial rifts and the patterns of celestial bodies, a perfect match for the field he had studied in his previous life. Su Wan awakened the “Origin Tracing Soul Core,” which let her read the memories of ancient objects and repair damaged soul cores. The light at her fingertips glimmered just like the restoration solution she had often used to repair ancient texts in her previous life.
