Prologue: When the stars turn, fate can be broken
The star gate in the Kunlun Glacier opens at dusk. A dragon palace beneath the Xisha Sea holds secrets a thousand years old. The hourglass in the ghost city of Loulan reverses time, while flames in the volcano temple scorch destiny.
When Lu Chengyu, the last heir to the Stargazers, grips the bronze star chart; when Su Qingyan, descendant of the Tomb Guardians, awakens her saintess mark; and when the sly, money-hungry Shen Sanpang raises his short blade, a battle to protect the world across seven anchors of fate begins.
Seven anchors of fate lie buried deep beneath the Earth, sealing away the ancient extraterrestrial being known as the “God of Fate.” Two jade star charts that reflect destiny and allow their bearers to cross through time bind the Stargazers and Tomb Guardians in a thousand-year-old bond. Meanwhile, a mysterious organization called the Fatewatchers, bent on awakening the god and controlling humanity's destiny, lays deadly traps in the shadows.
From the snowy ranges of Kunlun to the Taklamakan Desert, from Yongle Dragon Cave to the volcanoes of the Andes, they survive the corpse cocoon formation in the Upside-Down Palace, fight half-human puppets modified with chips, and solve deadly traps in the rifts of time and space. Every step teeters on the brink of life and death; every choice affects the survival of civilization.
The masked man's true identity, the truth behind their mother's disappearance, and the God of Fate's ultimate conspiracy are all hidden in the turning paths of the stars. When their bloodlines resonate, ancient powers awaken, and their determination to protect surpasses their ambition, they will finally understand: fate is not an unbreakable chain, but a puzzle waiting to be solved.
The stars have begun to turn, and the anchors are about to awaken. This worldwide adventure holds the secret of humanity's origins, and tells of the courage it takes to defy one's fate. Open the book and join Lu Chengyu and Su Qingyan as they search for the truth in an ancient tomb bristling with mechanisms.
