The primordial universe, an endless sea of stars.
After countless years of development, the path of cultivation has blossomed into countless schools, each reaching its own peak.
Human immortals temper the body, ghost immortals refine the soul, qi cultivators unite astral and baleful energies, divine immortals seek worshippers, and earth immortals nurture blessed lands.
Only Star Lords refine their natal stars, nurture their followers, advance their stars, sow the Dao Fruit, and nourish themselves. In doing so, they can attain the Great Way of the Celestial Immortal and ascend to sainthood!
(This is a global-deities-style novel, though it uses the author’s own setting.)
