The Truth of the World!

Starry Sky Principal was terrified.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing: a planet, a gigantic planet with its mouth agape, seemingly devouring something.

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be devouring fragments of rock wandering in the universe.

But when magnified, those rubble seem to contain countless humanoid creatures fleeing for their lives!

Immediately afterwards, the planet opened something resembling eyes and began to look around the universe!

It's like they're looking for the next target!

Is this really the celestial realm?

A living planet... has the world gone mad?

Am I going crazy?

Is this the celestial realm?!

Is this really the heavenly realm that people yearn for?!

What happened to those who ascended to the heavens?

Starry Sky Principal suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a terrifying feeling that he couldn't quite comprehend. He dared not contemplate it too much, because it was simply too despairing.

Those legendary heroes who were guided by angels to ascend to heaven...

"They're all dead, right?"

"So there is no creator at all, and ascension to the heavens is nothing but an absurd hoax?"

"No, this can't be the heavens. I might even be dreaming. It must be like this. I have to go back, I have to go back..."

Starry Sky Principal's consciousness returned to the star system, but the scene he had just witnessed had become a lingering shadow in his mind.

Fortunately, everything is normal within the star system...

Is this normal?

That day, Starry Sky Principal saw the planet they lived on.

Legend has it that their planet is protected by a giant dragon, an ancient dragon god, who safeguards their planet from invasion.

This dragon god slumbers all day, only awakening when necessary.

This is a myth; yes, it's not even a legend.

Because no one has ever seen this so-called guardian deity.

Today, Starry Sky Principal met him.

The planet they lived on opened its enormous mouth and spat out a huge dragon skeleton!

So, are those unidentified bone fragments floating in space actually... dragon bones?

That World-Protecting Dragon God?

"Heh... hehe... hahaha, a nightmare, it must be a nightmare... how could a planet possibly open its mouth? I must have heard too many stories to dream about something like this."

"I need to get back quickly, I need to wake up quickly..."

Starry Sky Principal kept hypnotizing himself, but it all really happened, and something called truth was slapping his cheeks.

And tell him that whether he believes it or not, this is the truth of the world!

The world beneath our feet is nothing more than a giant, round monster!

The heavenly realm we believe in is just like this monster!

After that, Starry Sky Principal observed the stars many times, and each time he was deeply impressed.

He felt he was on the verge of madness.

People often say that if one attains the Great Way, one can die without regret. But for the people of this world, the cruelest thing is to learn the truth about this world!

But if that's all there is to it, then perhaps things aren't so bad.

What's truly terrifying is a notebook left behind by the Hidden King.

"When I was young, I laughed at the Hidden King, but now I understand him. I am his confidant and also his fellow patient."

"The world has driven us crazy because we have seen the truth about the world."

It turns out that everything the Hidden King said was true; we were the fools who fell into the deception!

His notes contained an incredibly detailed account of the relationship and truth between the celestial realm and their native world.

That was even more incredible than what Starry Sky Principal had seen with his own eyes!

"If anyone saw this document, I think I would have gone crazy by then. I know my reputation isn't good because of my various actions, to the point that I'm notorious."

"But at this moment, I am a pure scholar, and I will tell you the truth about this world."

"This is the Gate of Truth."

"The world is a giant monster, and the heavens are another monster; they are twin brothers."

"This galaxy is their hunting ground, and we are the pigs and sheep being raised on them, until our power becomes strong enough to leave this world."

"The first to congratulate us was our Mother Star behind us."

"It will open its enormous mouth, capable of devouring everything, and ruthlessly consume our bodies and souls."

"The entire galaxy is a feeding ground, while the celestial realm surrounding the star is an inspector."

"It will deal with all the fish that escaped its net; anyone who escaped from the Mother Star and fled here will be devoured by the celestial realm."

"The celestial realm is different from the Mother Star, which rotates in place. It revolves around the star system according to a certain law, eating the lice raised on its own body while trying to get some food from its brothers."

"We've heard the legends of the heavens since we were little."

"Celestial beings have come to this world, and the heavens sent so-called angels to spread its beauty to us."

"Then we struggle and jump one after another into its mouth!"

"Originally, these twin brothers would only wake up once in a long while, but recently, they have been waking up more and more frequently."

"I sensed it; they seem to be planning something big."

"That time is only a moment for them, but it could be thousands or thousands of years for us."

"I am not the first person to discover the truth. The Ancient God all know about it, and it is precisely because they know that they dare not leave this world."

"And who could imagine that more than a hundred Ancient God once existed on our small planet?"

"So where have they all gone now? Hehe, they've been eaten, of course."

"Because they devoured these Ancient God, the power of the celestial realm and the Mother Star began to grow stronger and stronger, day after day, year after year."

"They give us the seeds of strength, they constantly create the strong, all for the sake of nourishing themselves."

"Until one day, they discovered that there were fewer and fewer strong beings, so much so that no Ancient God were born for many years to come."

"So they gradually became impatient. They set their sights on the Ancient God who remained in their homeland, and they also set their sights on me."

"Knowing the truth, you can assist your Mother Star. If you are willing to fall, you can gain power and then help your Mother Star create more powerful beings to act as its agents on the ground."

"Some people agreed, but I refused."

"What awaits me is self-evident. One day my body will no longer belong to me, and even my spirit and consciousness will no longer belong to me."

"But I will still do it because I must tell the truth."

"I may die, but the truth must be preserved, waiting for a hero among my descendants to appear, slay the will of the planet, and end this endless cycle of nightmares."

"As for why I am so sure, it is because I predicted it long ago."

"A thousand years from now, one of my descendants will obtain my power, wield the Blade of Rebellion Against the Heavenly Realm, and kill our Mother Star and the Celestial Realm."

"Our bloodline is proud; we inherit the bloodline of the World-Protecting Dragon God."

"We trace our ancestry back to the source, which was devoured by our Mother Star, but the power of the dragon flows in our blood."

"If only..."
