Twenty-six years ago, the last eighteen Star Officials of Daxia were invited to sail overseas. None ever returned. My master was the only one who made it back. Seventeen star-shaped scars had appeared on his face, and from then on, he never observed the stars again.
My name is Liu Xuanchong. I’ve been hiding in the mountains for twenty-five years. Now my master has kicked me down the mountain, saying the Purple Star has dimmed and something is stirring in the enemy nation. It’s my turn to go.
Zhou Weiguo, head of a special department, came up the mountain to recruit me for the third time. I was asleep in a bamboo chair. He asked me to assess the situation. I glanced at the sky: Mars was intruding upon the Heart constellation, an ominous star was rushing toward the Emperor’s Throne, and someone in the enemy nation was asking for trouble.
He asked what we should do.
I said we should go down the mountain and have some roast duck first. You can’t read the stars on an empty stomach.
Later, I livestreamed myself breaking a warding array in six minutes, personally dismantled four layers of baleful energy from an ancient blade in the enemy nation, then dived into a reservoir to retrieve a Mars-inducing stele that had been submerged for eighty years. The old-school yin-yang masters used the ruins of Zhonglong as their base, so I drove them back with a Southern Dipper star chart. The enemy nation’s greatest yin-yang master, Liu Shengzongming, waited for me in Ise to claim the North Star. I went, broke the Inverted Big Dipper chart along the way, and brought back the name tablets of fifteen Star Officials.
The whole internet was still debating whether I was a charlatan or a fraud. Three days later, my first prediction came true.
