Ten thousand years before the year 2056, Earth's skies burned.
A colossal alien ruin and shattered warship tore through the void, breaking past the firmament like a star falling into the ocean. Its impact shook continents, raising tidal waves and tearing open the earth's crust. Cities crumbled, mountains split, and strange magnetic storms swept across the world.
At the heart of the ruin was a lone figure—Hu Yan Bo, one of the great masters of the universe. Gravely wounded, he forced open a secret space technique, his body glowing with power that bent dimensions themselves. He stabilized the descent of the ruin, preventing Earth's annihilation, but the cost was unbearable.
The last sight of Hu Yan Bo was of him dissolving into the folds of space, his body vanishing without trace. What remained was silence, ruins buried beneath rubble, and a planet scarred by calamity.
But the story did not end there.
In a deep and hidden mountain, untouched by human eyes, a strange egg formed from condensed cosmic energy. Its shell pulsed faintly, as though breathing with the rhythm of the universe. For ten years it slumbered, feeding on the energies left behind by the ruin's fall.
And then—consciousness stirred.
From within the egg, a soul awakened. "Where am I?" the voice echoed in silence.
Inside the egg were two bodies. One was human, glowing faintly with immortal essence, already standing at the threshold of the World Lord realm. The other was a colossal beast, dark and star-speckled, its scales reflecting the infinite void: the Chaos Starry Beast God, one of the supreme bloodlines of the universe.
They were separate bodies, yet one soul.
This soul was not born of this age. It was a man from Earth's far future—the year 2050—who had died and transmigrated. His name was Yuan He, and now he awoke in the world of Swallowed Star, bearing both Earth's karmic fate and the Universe Will's mission.
