Xiao Zhuoyi was destined to be different from everyone else from the moment he was born.
His first meridian was the Xiao God of Healing, his second the Angel God, his third the Demon God, and his fourth was... his mother, the Sacred God. The kings of the four great families of the New City were all divine beings just one step away from becoming immortals, yet all of them became Xiao Zhuoyi's immortal roots. Every Dreamwalker is born with one crippled immortal root. At the age of twenty-five, if someone acts as their protector, they will gain powerful divine strength. But Dreamwalkers with protectors are exceedingly rare throughout the entire New City. Xiao Zhuoyi, however, was born with thirteen meridians, and the first three were opened when he was just two years old. Each time he advanced a level, a star fell from the sky. In this life, thirteen stars were destined to fall for him.
One must first become a divine being, then an immortal. The final step to becoming an immortal is to become a divine being. Without breaking through the final hurdle and becoming a divine being, no matter how powerful one is, one remains nothing more than a mortal body.
Thirteen meridians: Is this a blessing or a curse? To become the strongest in this world?
When he reached the fourth meridian, he lost the most important woman in the world.
"Sweetheart, you must grow up to be a responsible person. You must, absolutely must, protect your little sister."
"No, this can't be true. Mother, you won't leave me and my little sister, will you?" For the first time, Xiao Zhuoyi was utterly helpless. He looked at his mother, able to do nothing but cry.
Overnight, his hair turned white and he fell into the demonic path. He thought that was the end, but then a fourteenth meridian appeared. And the fourteenth meridian was his little sister, Xiao Baiyu, the one he'd cherished in his hands since childhood, afraid she might fall, and in his mouth, afraid she might melt. How was he supposed to face her now?
