Sky High Paper Lantern

When the land was occupied by demons, people had no choice but to flee to the sky. After transmigration, Ricky found that he had become the City Lord of a Sky City.

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

Aku terbangun di tempat yang tenang dan indah, tanpa mengetahui siapa diriku sebenarnya dan kenapa aku bisa berada ditempat ini. Di Kejauhan aku melihat seorang manusia dengan pakaian serba putih dan mata yang sebiru langit di tengah-tengah dekat pohon yang sangat indah berada. Dia mengatakan ini kepadaku "kamu adalah seorang dewa." aku tidak mengerti apa maksud dari perkataannya. Setelah mengatakan itu dia menghilang, tanpa memberikan alasan yang jelas. Dan aku juga tidak memiliki ingatan apa pun tentang masa lalu. Aku memutuskan untuk melakukan perjalanan untuk menemukan jati diriku. Jika aku adalah seorang dewa, mengapa tidak ada yang menyembahku? Atau memberikan persembahan untukku? Ya aku tidak mempermasalahkan nya sih, jadi aku memutuskan untuk menjelajahi berbagai tempat yang asing, tapi di mana pun aku pergi, tidak ada yang mengenalku atau bahkan menyadari keberadaanku. Namun, di dalam perjalanan yang panjang dan sulit ini, aku mulai merasakan adanya kekuatan dalam diriku yang belum pernah kurasakan sebelumnya. Aku memahami bahwa mungkin aku bukanlah dewa yang diinginkan atau diperlukan oleh orang lain, tetapi aku tetap mempertahankan keyakinan bahwa aku punya tempat dan arti di dunia ini. Aku semakin dekat dengan jawaban yang aku cari. Namun, semakin aku mempelajari sifat diriku yang sebenarnya, semakin banyak juga pertanyaan yang muncul di benakku. Apakah aku benar-benar seorang dewa? Mengapa aku tidak memiliki ingatan tentang masa lalu atau siapa diriku sebenarnya? Dan mengapa tidak ada yang tahu tentang keberadaanku?
