Between heaven and earth, the only path to transcendence was the Dao.

In every generation, prodigies known as Heaven Chosens would rise—contenders in a singular, sacred struggle: to prove the Dao and ascend as revered, feared Great Emperors.

To seize the chance to shatter the shackles of mortality and step into the immeasurable strata of Immortals, Primordials, and True Gods.

Only one star could blaze brightest in the boundless sky of each era.

For Samael, it had always been a dream—vivid, yet illusory.

Trapped in a relentless cycle of reincarnation, each life ended the same: failure. 

Again and again, he stood against existence’s greatest geniuses, only to fall before their dazzling brilliance.

No matter how hard he trained, how deeply the heavens favored him, or how vast his wisdom became—those chosen to oppose him were always a step beyond.

Failure after failure after failure—the cycle seemed eternal.

But this time, it would be different.

This life would be his last. And this life… would be never-ending.

In this life, the Dao would be his.

In this life, he would become a Great Emperor.

The Greatest Emperor.

Hello, I'll be giving a brief overview of the realms in this chapter though to fully get their context and depth, you'll have to read the book itself of course.


Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see me add here!


Beyond this, beyond the stages of awakening, cultivation truly begins and one enters yet another strata, though these stages haven't been revealed in the story just yet.
