Save the World Starting with the Sword

Ever since he first held a sword as a child, Fang Shu knew:

He was destined to become the greatest swordsman.

Amid countless dazzling lights, the youth practiced his sword day after day, all so that one day, when chaos descended, he could draw that peerless sword.

That sword could sever a towering peak, slay hordes of demons, and protect an age of peace.

That sword lay dormant for nearly five hundred years.

The calamity that was supposed to descend upon the world never came.

The young swordsman kept practicing day after day, among lofty mountains and winding rivers, amid surging tides, and beneath pine waves and veils of cloud.

One day, heavenly light suddenly descended upon the Ten Directions World.

When Fang Shu opened his eyes again, he had entered another world.

The swordsmanship prodigy of Changliu Immortal Mountain had become a disabled male insect in the slums of Black Star's Nineteenth District.

His sword bones were sealed, his meridians badly damaged, and anyone could bully him.

The Nineteenth District was home to countless vicious criminals. Space pirates ran rampant, and low-ranking male insects could not even release pheromones. They were picked over and traded like merchandise.

He was thrown into the mud again and again, cast down into the dirt.

Everyone laughed at him for overestimating himself.

Was this the world he was meant to save?

Amid blazing flames, female insects' bone wings tore through ruined buildings. War raged, cries rang without end, lives were devastated, and the sound of killing filled the land. Chaos was everywhere.

Fang Shu opened his eyes and finally saw all living beings.

All living beings suffered.

At last, Fang Shu was certain: this was the world he was meant to save.

And so the youth swung that dazzling, world-shaking sword.

That sword flashed like light, brilliant as a shooting star.

It illuminated the clouds of gloom over Black Star's Nineteenth District.

Thus began his journey to save the world.

*

From Black Star to the frontier star systems, and then to the central star systems,

from a disabled male insect in the slums to the dazzling morning star of the entire empire, the youth fought his way through every obstacle.

He carried his sword, held it in his hand, and never changed.

And so the entire insect race fell for him.

"This world is corrupt, mad, and inhuman, while he is clear-minded, gentle, and unstained."
