All the Stars in Sight

Synopsis:

After finishing his last mission, Dai Xinglan had a falling-out with his temporary System.

After finding the coordinates of Earth in this parallel universe in the System's database, the traveler who had roamed the heavens for many years decided to return home for a vacation.

But when he came back from the sea of stars, he found that the stars here had lost their spiritual energy, and his old home was no longer what it had been.

Giant serpents circled the deep sea, golden chariots tore through the dusk; wild foxes worshipped the moon, and desolate ghosts searched mournfully for flowers; red silk swept across the galaxy, a heavenly eye looked down from the railing and judged good from evil, and a golden cudgel swept away the world's corruption...

The former splendor had all become ruins left in the wake of war.

Amid the stars scattered across the sky, Dai Xinglan's thoughts traversed a thousand years, and he witnessed a calamity that destroyed countless civilizations.

The gods had battled their enemies beyond the heavens, burying themselves among the stars.

The planet murmured sorrowfully, "There are no more divine miracles here. Why return?"

"I refuse to accept this ending."

Dai Xinglan lowered his eyes with a faint smile. At a single thought, all things came to life.

"I want spring to return to every corner of the world I see, and all the stars to celebrate your return."

Thus, after a thousand years of isolation, a traveler returned to the solar system, and the lost gods once again walked the mortal world.

[Reading Guide]

1. A mythological hodgepodge about salvaging gods from different worlds. The story arcs include worlds of wuxia, Strange Tales, storybooks, and more.

2. Not a typical spiritual qi revival story. This is a revised version of the synopsis, but the overall story remains mostly unchanged.

3. Some characters have unrequited feelings for the protagonist. Please don't read if that bothers you.

4. The characters and story do not represent the author's values. There is a wall between fiction and reality, so please don't project them onto real life or real people.

5. Aside from genuine logical errors, I don't accept writing advice. There are countless good stories out there. If this one isn't for you, just move on.

6. Updates follow the ranking schedule.

Here's a preview of my upcoming danmei novel, After Meeting My Favorite Guy Across Dimensions:

Lan Jue never imagined that, as the most powerful mage on the continent of Carenmia, he would be summoned to a new world by a scroll of parchment.

Even less did he imagine that, when he opened his eyes, he would see the handsome face of his partner, who had died young.

Lan Jue's former partner was the most powerful hero on the continent.

He was upright, radiant, strong, and unstoppable: the brightest beacon on the continent and the hero in Lan Jue's heart.

In the new world, he had become a musclebound fool who couldn't lift a finger to do chores, knew nothing about farming, and could even choke on a sip of water.

Lan Jue thought sadly, What should I do? My current partner can't even beat a slime.

He looked down and saw his partner resting his head on his knee, his big eyes blinking.

A little silly, but lovely to look at.

All right, at least there are no slimes to fight in this world.

And even if there are, he's got me.

Chi Guang thought he'd hit the jackpot.

As a devoted player of the hit mobile game Legends of Carenmia, he never imagined that the parchment given out for its tenth anniversary would actually let him summon his favorite character.

The great mage arrived in the real world, stepped out of the magic circle, cupped Chi Guang's face in both hands, and studied every inch of him as if he were a rare treasure.

Dazed by the face leaning toward him, Chi Guang thought happily, My digital crush has become a carbon-based life-form. Could there be anything better?

Before he could process it, the great mage stepped back and said scornfully, "Not only have you lost your powers, you're still just as stupid."

Chi Guang burst into tears. I'm sorry I'm a useless college student with absolutely no combat skills!

Even so, the great mage was willing to stay by his side.

Chi Guang was overjoyed.

There was no doubt about it: he would bear all the consequences of having the great mage at his side, including having the mage see the elaborate displays of his cooking skills in that room, the indescribable images saved on his computer, the truth that Carenmia was only a game, his identity as a player, and...

Under the starry sky behind the scenes, Lan Jue held Chi Guang by the head and sneered, "Just how many books have you arranged to meet me in?"

Chi Guang twiddled his fingers. "J-just this one finished book..."
