A bolt of heavenly lightning struck Bai Jiuqing out of the cultivation world and into the interstellar age.
Interstellar technology was advanced, but spiritual energy was scarce, and all her cultivation vanished.
She had been a Sword Venerable, yet now she had fallen so far that people thought she was a mentally disabled child picking through trash. From the start, she was sold to a black-market factory to have her kidneys harvested. Bai Jiuqing kept a blank expression. "Hah. This interstellar world is doomed sooner or later."
People in the interstellar age were ranked according to the strength of their spiritual forms, dividing them into all manner of social classes. The nobles possessed divine beast bloodlines, and their spiritual forms could blot out the sky.
But she had no money, no home, and no spiritual form. Whenever she thought about killing and robbing someone, a remnant soul would start crying and complaining in her ear.
Bai Jiuqing looked up at the sky. "I can't live like this!"

There's something wrong with this world.
The deadly poison known as "turbid energy" gave rise to countless aberrant beasts. They were the absolute stuff of nightmares, and they could shatter both minds and order.
The places where turbid energy gathered were called the Chaos Zones.
People watched as a Chaos Zone aberrant beast approached the frail girl. She didn't move, clearly scared stiff.
They all thought she was done for.
Until, in an instant, sword energy blazed like a rainbow, and countless sword shadows flashed like brilliant stars piercing the night.
The whole crowd was stunned.
"Holy crap! What is that?!"
Bai Jiuqing watched the deadly "turbid energy" that everyone else avoided dance at her fingertips.
She was baffled. "Isn't this just spiritual energy? Interstellar people... can't tolerate spiritual energy?"

Later, someone extended an olive branch and invited her to join their ranks. From then on, she rose to a lofty seat, looking down upon all living things.
And from the ruins, she looked up and saw the stars shining.
An empire ruling over hundreds of planets, a temple gathering the faith of billions, a colossal power lurking behind the Galactic Alliance...
They shaped the world, and they kept it under lock and key.
She knew only this: no one was born noble.
And she was destined to overturn it all.
Premise: Climb over three great mountains.
