[Homeworld: A lifeless wasteland planet. Ecology: None. Resource value: None. Development potential: Zero. Overall rating: Lowest tier.]
The verdict that flashed across the screen at the Awakening Ceremony drew laughter from everyone around him.
His resource allocation was cut on the spot, his academy rating plummeted, and everyone was convinced that Zheng Xun's path as a Star Lord had reached its end.
But no one knew that within this young man's body resided a remnant soul that had once embarked on the path of immortality in another universe.
Still less did anyone know that deep inside this worthless wasteland planet lay a damaged innate spirit aperture, capable of drawing in the tides of the void and producing spiritual energy.
Yet every detection method in the Star Lord world was incapable of sensing spiritual energy.
While other Star Lords of his generation busied themselves with building civilizations and deducing the laws of the universe, tempering their bodies with the power of life, Zheng Xun quietly closed his star gate and began developing his wasteland planet.
He set up the foundations of formations, opened spirit fields, planted spirit herbs, raised spirit beasts, and gathered spirit veins.
Step by step, he repaired the innate spirit aperture, slowly turning the dead, frigid wasteland planet into an immortal's paradise that belonged to him alone.
The outside world assumed he'd accepted his fate and was lying flat, a useless Star Lord waiting to die on a garbage planet.
Until one day, tribulation clouds stretched across the wasteland planet, and brilliant immortal light tore through its lifeless shell, illuminating the entire sea of stars.
Only then did the world realize in shock:
This worthless planet, dismissed by everyone, concealed a path the myriad heavens had long since forgotten.
