Song Jingtian, an ordinary programmer on Earth, accidentally fell into a space-time rift, and his soul transmigrated to the vast cultivation world of Sky Blue Star. Reborn in the body of a sect disciple whose spiritual root had been destroyed and who was constantly bullied, he thought his life was over, only to unexpectedly activate the mysterious [Hongmeng Dao-Seeking System].
The System can issue quests and grant rewards, and it also has a wondrous shop where anything can be exchanged for "fortune points." Yet the System is not entirely benevolent. Every gain or expenditure of fortune comes with choices and gambits, and the slightest misstep can bring karmic burdens and eternal ruin.
Rising from humble beginnings, he finds a way to survive in desperate straits. With the System and his own ingenuity, Song Jingtian rebuilds the Hongmeng Dao Sect on Blue Star, befriends Lin Yu, whose bloodline carries the power of a star beast, and begins a romance with Meng Die, the daughter of the sect leader, that spans the sea of stars. But as his cultivation advances, he gradually discovers that Blue Star and even the entire star domain it belongs to are merely pieces on a chessboard where the myriad races of the heavens compete. Powerful enemies arrive one after another, including the Xuanying Sect from the depths of space and the Star Devourers, who seek to consume civilizations.
Confronted with his friend's bloodline spiraling out of control, his beloved's ties to a past life, the System's ultimate truth, and the cruel fact that Earth and Blue Star are both "laboratories," Song Jingtian must make one difficult moral choice after another, caught between personal feelings, the survival of his people, and the ultimate truths of the Great Dao. This is a journey against the stars, and a cultivation of the heart. Can he break free of fate and carve out a path to eternal freedom through the Myriad Worlds for the people he loves and all living beings?
