The Fourth Starry Sky

"Van Gogh's star fell at a certain moment, and the world began to burn." On the night of the end of the old calendar, the sky cracked and the stars turned into polluted seeds and sprinkled onto the earth. Humanity has built its last stronghold among the ruins. The five major federations use spirituality as their blades and flesh and blood as their walls to fight against the twisted existences born from the remains of the past. ——The frontier has no end, only wind, debris, and the occasional light. The residents of Rusty Iron Town struggled to survive in the red moss erosion, but learned to forge weapons with rusty metal; the children in Gray Light Village could not live to be forty years old, but their laughter still echoed in the glowing fungi; the guides of the Mute Whistle traveled across the silent plains and brought back songs from far away. The wreckage evolves, the psykers mutate, but the alliance between the Federation is not yet completely broken—at least on the surface. ——The flame must first burn itself out before it goes out. The incinerator tower of Yuan Xia never burns out, the silent church of Weak Water suppresses the giants of the deep sea, the walls of the Great Wall desperately resist the invisibility of the outside world, the Thunder Throne of Dragon Roar echoes the tremors of the dragon skeletons of the past, and the fragments of the floating city of the Heavenly Palace are falling to the earth, and the first new sprout grows where they fall. In this world on the verge of collapse, "Observers" shuttle between frontiers and ruins. ——The thunderstorm of the Etcher tears apart the Time Stop Realm, the Silent Realm of the Whisperer blocks pollution, and the Prediction of the Agent resonates with the sound waves of the Resonator, tearing open the last way to survive in a desperate situation. "The stars will fall, but there are always things that cannot be burned or killed."
