Beyond the planets lay an endless, lifeless darkness.
Unknown planets connected to one another, weaving together shelters for life. Countless spacefaring races explored, developed, and multiplied, resisting the empty darkness.
An obscure little race could rise to prominence in a few centuries, while a mighty race with billions of years of history could vanish in an instant.
Cultivation and inheritance, prodigies competing for glory, heroes rising from every corner.
Humanity began in prosperity, then fell into decline.
On Shattered Star Five, at Island 732, Wang Yu began his cultivation.
Years later, humanity had blossomed across every corner of the world.
Countless human prodigies gazed up at the one and only Human God Emperor.
“God Emperor Wang Yu, how should we cultivate if we want to follow in your footsteps?”
The God Emperor glanced back, a little puzzled. “Isn’t cultivation just repeating something over and over? Once you’ve mastered it, you’ll naturally succeed. Each of you is more gifted and perceptive than I am, so I’m sure I don’t need to spell that out.”
The human prodigies watched the God Emperor’s figure drift away, speechless.
“Mastery... What does that even mean?”
