Prologue

In a remote star domain of the vast universe, a faint golden light drifted slowly through the pitch-black starry sky at a steady speed, occasionally emitting intermittent cries—now broken, now continuous, now faint, now clear—like the sound of weeping blood, or the sinister laughter of the Nine Abyss.

After who knows how many years, a massive azure planet suddenly appeared ahead.

With a thunderous roar!

Under the planet's gravitational pull, the golden light hurtled toward the giant planet at an astonishing speed. The moment it touched the planet's atmosphere, it transformed into a blazing meteor, plunging toward a sea region below.

In the ninth year of Tianyuan of Great Qi, a spirit official reported to the court that a foreign object from beyond the heavens had fallen into the East Sea, unleashing towering waves that submerged over twenty islands. Several coastal counties of Yue Prefecture were struck by the tidal surge, destroying ten thousand houses and causing countless casualties among the people and livestock. — Chronicles of the Eastern Continent
