*[EARLY RELEASE - Full novel drops June 2025]*
The sky bled gold above the Celestial Dominion.
Tianxiao—the god who defied heaven—stood atop a mountain of slain immortals, his armor cracked, his divine flame guttering. Blood dripped from his fingertips, each drop erasing a star from the cosmos.
Before him, the Supreme Heavenly Sword Sovereign levitated, his blade humming with the weight of primordial law. "Last words, rebel?"
Tianxiao spat a glob of molten divinity. "Rot in the hell you made."
He clenched his fist—and shattered his own god-core.
The explosion tore reality apart.
BLUE STAR – PRESENT DAY
White light. Screaming. The stench of antiseptic.
Kael Arren jolted upright in a hospital bed, his right eye burning electric blue. His skull pulsed with fractured memories: flames, a laughing god, chains of starlight—
A nurse backed away, her face ashen. "You-Your eyes—"
The window exploded.
Kael turned just as the sky ripped open.
Elven warships collided with skyscrapers. Dwarven runes flared in the streets, fusing pavement to flesh. And in the distance, a shadow moved—a vast, hungry thing with too many teeth, its tendrils peeling back the horizon like rotting fruit.
"Rise, Tianxiao." The voice slithered through his bones. "Your soul is the lock. Your death was the key."
Kael looked down. Blue flames coiled around his fingers.
The door burst open. Orderlies charged in, syringes glinting.
He smiled.
