Everyone Has an S-Rank Spirit, but I'm the Proud Phoenix

[Originally titled Sword Cultivators Have to Go to School Too? [Interstellar]]

Yun Shaowei shattered the void and crossed over from a fantasy novel into the interstellar era.

In this age when supernatural abilities are bound to spirit forms, spirit forms of every kind are bizarre and varied. Yet the sea of consciousness of Yun Shaowei, the villainess of a story about a phoenix-like heroine, was completely empty!

She pretended to have a spirit ability with no attribute and enrolled in school. On her application, she checked the first option, the Combat Department, drawing a wave of ridicule: "A bumpkin from a backwater planet who doesn't even know the Combat Department doesn't accept people with spirit abilities!"

"Then what can I apply for?" Yun Shaowei asked.

"Mecha Department, Support Department..."

"What's the difference? Never mind." Yun Shaowei casually signed her name. "Whatever. None of you can beat me anyway."

Everyone: ???

Just as everyone expected, Yun Shaowei became the Support Department's top student. She competed in tournaments and formed teams to clear anomalies in various locations.

The day she cleared an S-rank dungeon, Yun Shaowei's spirit form was remade. Her wings blotted out the sky, shaking the entire star region.

She thought life was wonderful.

...Except for the strange voices she often heard.

This was a beautiful new world.

Pavilions with upturned eaves stood among the clouds, and silk-adorned ships sailed into space.

Ferocious beasts were kept beyond the walls of the base cities, while the Transcendent Hall sheltered all living things from the highest point.

Until...

Foreign forces invaded, doomsday arrived, and humanity fell into endless panic.

The Sacred Land stood supreme. The mainframe of the intelligent machines remained silent, while the councilors argued without end around the round table.

The Stability Faction recited the fall of the old gods and restarted the Great Wall Project. The Revivalists unlocked forbidden files, allowing genes to ascend once more. The Pacifists opened an altar, seeking contact from the depths of space...

Then Yun Shaowei pulled out a sword and slaughtered everyone there.

If people only wait, they will never see the gods come to save them.

As the stars and seas rise and fall, I will stand at the very top.

Notes:

1. My own take on the interstellar genre: silk-punk, high martial arts and high magic, with martial arts so powerful they can destroy an entire star region in a thought. The worldbuilding is entirely made up, with all-original settings. No writing advice, please.

2. The protagonist was a villain in her previous life, in bold, all caps. The protagonist isn't a good person. Don't project the characters' values onto the author's.

3. About the romance: This is a romance with a male lead. There are many people interested in the protagonist, but I can't promise in advance which direction she will choose. Everything serves the story.

Theme: Our journey is to the stars and seas
