Genre: Eastern Fantasy / Cultivation

Structure: Written in arcs (~10–30 chapters each)

Prologue

In the twilight of a dying universe, when stars flickered like dying embers, the Void Emperor stood alone. His throne, forged from the bones of galaxies, drifted in silence at the center of nothingness. He was the end of all things — feared, revered, and ultimately betrayed.

Struck down by the Seven Celestial Kings, the Emperor's soul was cast into the Eternal Abyss, scattered into fragments. But death is merely a pause for a being like him. In the heart of a young world light-years away, a child was born beneath a crimson moon, and with his first cry, the cosmos trembled. The Void stirred again.
