Starry Sea, an endless expanse of darkness serves as a curtain, adorned with twinkling stars of various colors, Red Radiance, yellow glimmers, white sparks...
The diverse lights flicker, vibrant and swirling, spiraling towards the center. The brightness varies: some are dim enough to not be overlooked, while others shine brightly without being blinding.
This is the Starry Sea, shrouded in mystery since ancient times, a long journey sought by countless ancestors yet never reaching its end.
What was once a beautiful scene is disrupted by an unexpected visitor from afar.
A meteor streaks across the sky, trailing a long tail as it heads into the distance. Its silver-white trajectory is dazzling, forming an arc like an arrow pointing towards its destination.
The place the meteor is heading to is a beautiful planet.
This planet possesses rare blue light, thick mist enveloping it, making this Blue Planet appear like a fairyland, shrouded in clouds and fog.
...
...
The meteor moves further away, heading towards that azure Blue Planet, crashing into it with immense force, creating brilliant fireworks as it collides with the atmosphere.
Flames burn fiercely; it seems that getting too close would turn one to ash under the intense heat.
The flames grow stronger, transforming into a descending fireball. At that moment, a strange White Flame suddenly rises up, obscuring the view and blocking the fiery display released by the meteor.
The White Flame appears unnatural, taking on the shape of fire yet exuding a chilling aura; it rises gracefully without reason.
The cold White Flame steals away all the charm of the starlight. It sways like a sprout emerging from the soil, wobbling upward, growing ever higher.
"Whoosh! Crackle!"
Suddenly, explosive sounds emanate from within the flames, resembling dry wood cracking.
As the explosive sounds occur, the flames begin to sway violently. A bulge forms at the center of the fire, as if something is trying to break free from within.
"Zzz!"
The center of the White Flame was torn apart, and a slender arm reached out from the heart of the fire. After groping for a moment, the hand grasped one side of the White Flame and slowly slid to the side. As the palm moved, the White Flame was split in two, revealing a pitch-black crack in the middle, leading to an unknown destination.
When the crack was tall enough for a person to pass through, the hand pulled forcefully, freeing its owner from the fissure.
Dressed in a long robe, the figure stood suspended above the starry sea, with long hair cascading over his shoulders. The edges of his garment swayed gently as if stirred by an unseen wind.
At first glance, he had an extremely handsome face, but upon closer inspection, something felt off; there was an unsettling quality about him.
That's right! It was those eyes!
Those eyes were strange; the white irises blended seamlessly with the sclera, making it nearly impossible to distinguish between them. More importantly, they resembled a mirror, like crystalline amber, clear and devoid of clutter—even devoid of emotion.
His eyes were calm and unruffled, not cold but genuinely lacking any trace of feeling.
Eyes are said to be windows to the soul; such eyes could only belong to someone whose heart was truly devoid of emotion!
The man in white stood in midair for quite some time, occasionally tilting his head to look around as if searching for something.
"Strange, I can clearly sense it here; how could it have vanished…"
He murmured softly, his voice chillingly calm and monotone, reminiscent of a synthetic voice.
After scanning the surroundings a few more times without success, he finally took out a piece of dark stone sculpture from his robe.
His long fingers lightly grasped it; the black sculpture shimmered in his pure white palm, transparent and seemingly made of an expensive material—definitely not an ordinary item. The sculpture was exquisitely crafted, depicting a cute little figure with flowers atop its head.
"White, I will find you."
Staring at the statue for a long while, he spoke softly to himself once more.
After saying this, he withdrew his gaze and casually tucked the statue back into his robe. Not intending to linger any longer, he looked up to find a direction and stepped forward into thin air.
Beneath him, the White Flame spread out like a series of steps into the distance, lingering on like a beautiful trail that seemed even more stunning than a meteor's tail.
The figure in white had long since departed, vanishing without a trace. After a considerable time, the White Flame he left behind slowly dissipated, and at the end of the White Flame was the vast sea of stars.
...
...
Long after the White Flame had disappeared, the whereabouts of the figure in white were unknown, yet a sudden wave surged from the place he had once stood. The wave was strange and formless; for a moment, the starry sky twisted, and the surrounding scenery refracted like steam.
"You have also arrived in this Star Domain... Hmm, interesting... It seems there is hope for our escape this time; our opportunity has come..."
A fleeting voice suddenly echoed, more awkward than the coldness of the figure in white. It fluctuated between male and female, near and far, making it impossible to discern who it was or where they were speaking from.
After this statement, the starry sky fell silent again. He remained silent, not knowing what he was doing.
The silence lasted for a long time until a beam of light floated out from the void. The white light was incredibly dazzling, even more intense than sunlight; no one dared to look directly at it. When faced with this brightness, one could only shield their eyes with their hands, afraid to leave even a tiny gap, lest that searing light take away their own illumination.
The light surpassing that of the sun—how dazzling it must be! Such brilliance destined him to be the brightest star in the sea of stars!
"Go! This Star Domain needs a hero, a hero comparable to a deity..."
"The existence of the Chronicles of the Wild Gods has lasted too long; it should come to an end..."
This time it was clear that the elusive voice had receded; he had already left this place.
Stars twinkled in abundance; the sea of stars remained as splendid as ever. It rotated along its specific trajectory, gradually becoming denser from outside to inside, forming a magnificent whirlpool of stars—beautiful and mysterious.
...
...
After long exploration, humanity finally broke through the interstellar Chains and stepped onto the long-desired path of interstellar travel.
However, interstellar space was not as beautiful as humanity had imagined. In this vast and mysterious ocean, humanity was not only not the only intelligent life but also did not belong to a higher civilization.
In the eyes of other advanced life forms, humans are merely a group of primitives, reminiscent of how Europeans viewed African natives in history.
Compared to higher beings, humans lack the long lifespan to hone themselves and do not possess sufficient technology to quickly rectify their flaws; they are like weaklings who cannot survive in the universe without "poorly made prosthetics."
Of course, this was merely the state of humanity when they had just taken their first steps. Over three thousand years have passed since then, and now it is Year 50 of the Star Calendar. Compared to that time, humanity has grown immensely.
Every life form must acknowledge the speed at which humans acquire knowledge. Humans are like a sponge covered in tiny pores, tirelessly absorbing wisdom from the cosmic sea.
While humanity's accumulation may not compare to those ancient life forms with hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of history, they can proudly stand before those races that have only recently broken through interstellar travel after a few thousand years.
In just three thousand years, humanity has rapidly risen from a group of "primitives" to become a first-class Star System civilization, completely shedding the title of "natives of Azure Planet."
Over the years, countless strong individuals have emerged among humans. In every aspect, this first-class Star System civilization has made waves throughout the Star Domain.
Especially on the path of Interstellar Warriors, humanity has shown remarkable talent, with various abilities shining brightly over these three thousand years like the most dazzling meteors.
Some have become Starry Sky Strongers by practicing the martial arts of other life forms… Others have modified the martial arts of different races and subsequently become starry sky warriors… Indeed, humans have even created their own Stellar Martial Arts…
On the path of starry sky warriors, humanity is a special existence that breaks the age-old norms of the Star Domain…
And our story unfolds in this "New Era of the Cosmic Sea" for the people of Azure Planet!
