Three Thousand Star Souls: The Mountains and Rivers Have Nowhere to Return

Celeste is invaded by the Monarks. The male lead dies in battle, and Celeste activates ancient forbidden technology to extract his consciousness and turn it into a Star Soul. The Star Soul crosses the stars and arrives in the Western Han dynasty, where he becomes Ma Xiao, fighting alongside Huo Qubing. He dies with the entire army on an island while protecting Laila, a young Atlantean girl.

In the Tang dynasty, he is Ma Lin, a trusted aide of Li Shimin. The Black Armored Army fights bloodily in Northern Europe. His beloved takes her own life, leaving only broken armor scattered across the land.

In the Ming dynasty, he is Ma Zheng, abandoned in the northern deserts. The Three Thousand Battalion dies in battle without reinforcements. Laila travels a thousand miles to find him, only to see bones scattered across the wilderness.

But the interstellar civilization of plunderers, the Monarks, attacks again. The pursuit across time that began long ago finally reaches the world of today.

To protect billions of lives, he gathers three thousand elite warriors of pure heart and rebuilds the Three Thousand Battalion.

At the final battle on the wasteland, all three thousand and one fight to the last moment. After waiting for more than two thousand years, Laila refuses to endure the years alone again. Holding a broken Tang saber, she joins her lover in death.

People across the globe weep as they line the streets to see them off. A young girl carries her father's portrait and leads the way. The loyal remains of the Three Thousand Battalion are buried together in a single mausoleum.

The spirit of the Han, the bones of the Tang, and the loyal souls of the Ming all converge in a modern-day interstellar war.

Every parting from their past lives is finally repaid with a bond that endures through life and death. Every barrier between them is at last dissolved by the loyal remains of the Three Thousand.

The flame is carried on in the young girl's bloodline. From this day on, humanity's battlefield faces the vast sea of stars.
