The God Realm was the pinnacle of existence—a vast, limitless expanse that defied mortal comprehension. It was said that its skies held the echoes of creation itself, and its lands were woven from the very essence of the cosmos. Yet, despite its grandeur, the God Realm was not a single, unified land. It was shattered, divided into countless sectors, each a world of its own.
Some sectors were paradises, where spiritual energy flowed like rivers and the earth sang with power. Others were barren wastelands, haunted by ancient ruins and the whispers of forgotten gods. These sectors were connected by ancient teleportation formations, pathways left behind by the primordial beings who first shaped the realm.Power ruled above all else. Each sector was governed by an Overlord, a being of unimaginable strength who stood at the pinnacle of cultivation. These Overlords were living legends—pinnacle cultivators who had surpassed the boundaries of life and death, mastering the fundamental laws of the universe. They were rarely seen, their presence only felt through the empires they built and the dynasties they ruled.At the heart of this fractured realm stood the Celestial Ascendant Academy, the ultimate sanctuary of knowledge and power. It was said that the academy existed beyond space and time, connected to every sector through ancient formations. Only the most gifted and determined cultivators could enter its main halls, while countless branch academies spread across the sectors served as gateways for those seeking greatness.Among these Overlords, one stood above all—Overlord Selene, the ruler of the Azure Sky Sector. Her name was spoken with reverence and awe, her power unmatched, her presence as rare as the stars falling from the heavens. She was a pinnacle cultivator whose mastery over space and time was unparalleled, a deity in mortal form. Legends whispered that she could command the cosmos itself, bending reality to her will.To the people of the Azure Sky Sector, she was a goddess. To Lian, she became an obsession.Beneath the radiant skies of the Azure Sky Sector, a young orphan wandered, his eyes reflecting the stars above. He had no name, no lineage, no legacy. He was nothing but a shadow drifting between the sectors, surviving by sheer will and cunning. Yet, within him burned a fire—a longing to rise above his fate, to break free from the shackles of his nameless existence.And on the day he saw her, everything changed.Lian's journey began not with power or ambition, but with a gaze—a single, fleeting moment when his eyes met hers. Standing amidst a crowd, hidden among the faceless masses, he looked up and saw Overlord Selene. She stood on a floating platform, her silver hair cascading like moonlight, her eyes holding the depth of the cosmos. Her presence was divine, her aura suffocating yet alluring.She spoke of the Azure Sky Branch of the Celestial Ascendant Academy, a place where dreams were forged and legends were born. She spoke of trials and challenges, of power waiting to be claimed. Her voice was like a melody, echoing in his soul.In that moment, Lian's heart was stolen. It was not love, not yet, but a longing—a desire to stand before her, not as a nameless orphan but as an equal. It was this desire that ignited his journey, that drove him to step forward, to defy fate itself.For the first and only time, he saw her. And then she was gone, vanishing like a dream beneath the starry skies.He would not see her again for a long time, but her image remained etched in his soul, a beacon guiding him through the darkness.His journey to the Celestial Ascendant Academy had begun. And so did his quest to rise above the shadows, to reach the pinnacle of the God Realm, and to stand before Overlord Selene as more than just an orphan.
