Astral Epoch

The wheel of fate has begun to turn—the final battle between light and the Abyss is about to unfold. On the Astral Continent, every soul’s destiny is written by the stars, and the Twenty-Eight Star Guardians uphold the balance of the heavens and earth. Yet now, darkness encroaches upon this land—the Legion of Dusk has risen. They worship the power of the Abyss, hunting down the Star Guardians in a relentless bid to overturn the order of the world. Adrian Jiao—heir to the Azure Dragon Constellation, once the pride of his family. But in a single night, his home was reduced to ashes, his kin slaughtered, and his once-beloved elder brother, Calem, succumbed to the Abyss, becoming the commander of the Legion. Forced into exile, Adrian was left with nothing but grief, rage, and a thirst for vengeance. Yet when the chains of fate shattered, his dormant bloodline awakened—the Jiao Spear emerged, and the power of the Azure Dragon was reborn! However, vengeance is only the beginning. The world is far more treacherous than he ever imagined. The Legion of Dusk’s sinister plot—a scheme that threatens the very stars. The betrayal of the Fallen Stars—a deception hidden between light and shadow. The gathering of the Four Guardian Beasts—a legacy buried in history. The loosening of the Abyssal Gate—a lock that binds another world. Destiny is not absolute—it can be defied. When the Azure Dragon Spear is unleashed, the very heavens shall tremble! Yet when the truth is unveiled, Adrian will come to realize—light and darkness were never truly opposed. The fate of the stars had been bound to the Abyss all along. Light is not always pure. Darkness is not the end. As the Azure Dragon Spear is raised once more, he will forge his own path and reshape this shattered world.
