Salt And Sacrifice Lore

Zhou Dao transmigrated to a world where demons rampaged and Daoist laws ruled. His sect was in straitened circumstances, and their property was on the brink of being demolished. Desperate, Zhou Dao had his eyes fixed on the coffin of the sect’s Grandmaster and decided to do something with it. A voice rang, “D*mn! You are actually plotting to steal my skull. With your attitude, Sunset Mountain has a chance of reaching its heyday again!” On that very night, the corpse of the Grandmaster moved! Moving forward, Zhou Dao would receive rewards whenever he offered up demonic beasts as sacrifices to the Grandmaster. He offered up a 1000-year zombie as a sacrifice and received the Indestructible Body of Demon Refining. He offered up a nine-tailed demon fox as a sacrifice and received a Fox Girl Puppet. He offered up a demon turtle from the Eastern Sea as a sacrifice and received a high-power muscle massage gun. … For eons, countless Daoist members meditated on The Yellow Court Classic. For years to come, Zhou Dao harvested countless demonic beasts with no intention of burying them. Many years later, in the same Daoist temple, Zhou Dao sat at the front door as he bore witness to the joy and the sorrow of all creations. He had seen birth, illness, death, and all sorts of bizarre phenomena. He put on a crooked grin as he said, “I offer up the heavens and the earth as a sacrifice.”

Caspian inched closer until his lips were mere inches away from Davina's, reeling her in to close the nonexistent gap between their mouths. "Have you ever been kissed, Dimitri?" He asked. Before Davina could lose control after Caspian's cold lips lightly grazed hers, she pushed him away and hurriedly stood up. "My Lord, this is highly unethical!" Her real voice nearly slipped out amid the chaos. "What's unethical about this?" Caspian's face lifted to form an innocent yet devilish smile, he seemed to be enjoying the reaction he got out of her. Flustered, Davina turned her back to him and took deep breaths before speaking more composedly. "We are both men and it wasn't ethical of you to try and... kiss me." The last bit came out as a whisper blown away by the wind. Caspian's chuckle echoed through the woods as he stood up from the bench and faced Davina with a smug look on his face. "Tell me, Dimitri, was I really trying to kiss a man just now?" "W-what do you mean?"

At some point in the future, technology and human greed together pushed the world to the brink of collapse. Floating cities in the sky became the refuge for elites, while the surface world turned into ruins, leaving only the remnants of humanity struggling to survive. “Stardust and Memories” unfolds in such a broken future. The book tells the story of Eno, a once-hopeful scientist who lost his beloved fiancée, Aelia, in an accident, along with his faith in creating a better future for humanity. Aelia’s death not only altered the course of his life but also plunged him into endless regret and pain. His only hope is to use a mysterious device—the Memory Recaller—to return to the past and change that fateful moment, saving Aelia’s life. However, the price of this journey is far heavier than he ever imagined. “Stardust and Memories” is not only a science fiction novel set in a future world but also a profound exploration of time, love, and redemption. As Eno continually seeks to reverse the past, he discovers that true salvation lies not in changing what has happened, but in how to face the present, how to endure loss, and how to choose a new path for the future. In this story, the coldness of technology intertwines with the warmth of human emotions, and the characters’ emotional conflicts become even more vivid against the backdrop of a bleak future. Whether it’s the undying love between Eno and Aelia or his partnership with Sena as they face an uncertain future together, every relationship carries the weight of human struggle and hope in the darkest of times. “Stardust and Memories” explores the passage of time, the irreversibility of memory, and the resilience and courage humans display when faced with the unpredictability of fate. We all have moments when we wish we could change the past, but this book reminds us that sometimes, the real strength lies not in returning to the past but in how we embrace the present and choose to face the future. This book is dedicated to those who seek hope in the midst of pain and find their way forward through loss. It is my hope that Eno’s story will resonate with a part of the reader’s heart, reminding us that every moment of loss is the starting point for our journey into the future.

A false prophecy, a conspicuous birth, a sinister ritual and a wholehearted sacrifice. These were the elements that set the Cosmic Gears in motion of this world. It all relied on the variables, Lucien Alaric and Mikaela Howell. Having had a warm childhood was something they were always proud of, at least until they unveiled the illusion of this false happiness. Their moment of joy was apparently measured and limited. “The truth will be revealed to you when you awaken... Believe nothing but what you have witnessed and judged yourselves as the truth... Your enemies are closer than you think... Trust no one!” This were the words the children were left with. Their parents' dying words. Not words for children to live with, right? Clip sneak peek~! "What do you feel?" she asked. "Nothing..?" Mikaela responded, holding his sword tight at hand. In truth, to him, it was no different than cutting down a training puppets head. A tedious endeavor. "Good, you should spare no feeling to enemies, my child," a clear serene voice sounded, like the sweet whisper of the devil. In the air was the fishy rustic iron smell, the scent of human blood. Not just a splash of it but a mass graveyard pool of it. The heavy smell of death. Mikaela stood in the middle of this with calm eyes. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to have become deeper and richer. Lucien is born a mage while Mikaela is born a martial artist. They have distinctly opposing personalities and would rather stay away from each other, but destiny has other plans. They have to unite in the face of the upcoming trials of fate. One loss, spells death to both of them! No compromise! The sacrifice made to protect them drives them to face each day while vengeance motivates them to grow stronger. What kind of future shall they pave in the veil of uncertainty and hidden truth? While Lucien and Mikaela walk different paths, they ultimately have the same destination. The Apex!

Before there was anything, there was darkness. And before there was darkness, there was God. God went by many names, but most know him simply as Demiurge.

After this, god created many, many more beings....before disappearing. Or atleast that's how the story goes, afterall, history is forged by those who remain.
