The Daoist Book of Guixu

A thousand years ago, the stars shone down upon the world. Humanity used their radiance to forge a path and build cities to survive, believing it was salvation granted by heaven. Everyone knows that the Guixu lineage brought chaos to the world and unleashed disasters that destroyed it. It was wiped out by the Star Path and branded an eternal evil. Shen Suwei alone was born without a star lock, the lowliest of all: a mortal with no cultivation aptitude. He crossed wastelands, witnessed fragmentary histories, and saw the earth’s ley lines wither. At last, he glimpsed the truth buried by time: The stars feed on the essence of the earth. Humanity’s cultivation has always been an eternal sacrifice.
