Redeeming the Broken Stars.
Kaelen Ashwright was born blessed, marked by the Convergence Star and prophesied to ascend to godhood.
They lied. At nineteen, he discovered the truth: the Star wasn't a blessing but a beacon, calling to the Devourers, cosmic horrors that feast on divine essence.
Every hundred generations, the Celestial Elders sacrifice one "blessed" soul to buy another century of peace.
His father led the ritual. His mentor bound him to the altar. His betrothed drove the blade into his heart.
As the Devourers consumed him, Kaelen's last thought was hatred. He wakes as Zain, a crippled street rat with shattered meridians.
But Kaelen's soul carries fragments of the Convergence Star, and if he cultivates in this body, the Devourers won't sense him.
Using forbidden methods that consume his enemies' essence, Kaelen climbs through the Nine Heavens with an unlikely team: Ryn, a demon-blooded assassin; Kael, a failed cultivator turned weapon merchant; Lyssa, a scholar investigating missing "blessed" children.
Together they uncover the conspiracy: The Elders aren't protecting humanity from the Devourers.
They're farming it for them. As Kaelen grows stronger, he begins to uncover a lot of mysteries, a lot of hidden mysteries in the realm, like Celestia being reborn alongside him seven times, forced to kill him again and again.
Now Kaelen faces an impossible choice: complete his revenge and doom his mother forever, save the Nine Heavens and let his family go unpunished, or break the cycle and face the Primordial Void, which has been manipulating everyone since the beginning.
What will a cultivator reincarnated in the body of a cripple do?
Find out in this awesome fantasy story titled, Redeeming the Broken Star.

Chapter: Chapter 318: The great divide:The compression point on the formation pathway at the Second Heaven's eastern administrative district looked, in the physical dimension, like a narrow stretch of cultivated pathway between two large administrative buildings.It was not impressive.It had the specific, functional quality of institutional infrastructure that had been built to serve a purpose and that served the purpose without requiring or receiving attention beyond the purpose's requirements.But in the spiritual dimension, the dual-nature of the formation pathway expressed itself at the compression point in the specific, intensified way that narrow channels expressed the flow they carried, and the intensification made the compression point one of the Nine Heavens' most formation-sensitive locations without the Nine Heavens' institutional knowledge of formation sensitivity having ever specifically noted it.Nobody had thought to note it. This was because the compression point was an infrastructure detail.Not a locatio

Chapter: Chapter 317: The vote of the celestial realms:"It says the fourth's frequency is the organizational logic of the before-time but that what the before-time produces in the specific circumstances of a three-thousand-year existence in the Nine Heavens without identity or community or context is…" He stopped. "It says that is the question." He paused. "It says the fourth has been in the Nine Heavens for three thousand years without knowing what it is or where it came from or why it survived or what the surviving was for." "And that something that has existed for three thousand years in that specific, particular condition of complete, profound isolation without understanding what it is…" He immediately took a deep breath. "The Dreaming Stone says: I cannot tell you what the fourth is now. I can tell you what three thousand years of that would do to something that was not designed for isolation." He paused almost immediately."It says: go to the pathway." He pauses. "And then it says one more thing."He looked at Kaelen Ashwright.

Chapter: Chapter 316: Unveiled powers:Song Lianhua now activated the formation channel with the practiced efficiency of someone who had been managing the Academy's communication infrastructure since its first day and who had developed, in that management, the relationship with formation channels that formation-affinity practitioners developed with anything that operated in their native frequency range.The channel was opened.Song Lianhua held the receiving framework at the depth that his formation affinity allowed and transmitted the frequency data with the specific, organized clarity of someone whose native relationship with formation-frequency communication made the transmission efficient in ways that standard cultivators' transmissions were not.He immediately waited.The response from the Fifth Heaven's gate compound arrived in forty-three seconds.Not through the channel's standard communication protocol.Through Song Lianhua's receiving framework directly.His eyes closed when it arrived.Not in the deliberate-clos

Chapter: Chapter 315: The Thing That Accelerated the Road.Now the formation pathway between the Scholar's Realm's northern transit corridor and the Celestial Realm had a specific, particular quality at the point where it passed through the Second Heaven's eastern administrative district.It narrowed, not physically, dimensionally. It was the formation pathway's spatial-spiritual dual-existence compressed at the Second Heaven's eastern boundary in the way that rivers compressed at geological constraints, the same volume of flow moving through a smaller cross-section and producing, at the compression point, the specific, increased-pressure quality that compressed things produced.The Unmarked's surveillance network flagged the compression point at three hours after Kaelen's conversation with Old Moth in the garden.Not because of the compression. Because of what was at the compression point.Something that was not Voss Ironmark and not the Keeper and not any of the four Irongate Authority formation specialists that the surveillance contact h

Chapter: Chapter 314: Breaking the Scorpions tails:"Not what the Elder Council calls a Keeper. Not a function or a practitioner or a cultivation mechanism." "The previous universe's equivalent of what the Devourers are to this one. The creative consciousness that organized and maintained its existence." “The previous universe's creator." She paused. "When the Primordial Void destroyed the previous universe, the creator was not destroyed with it." “The creator survived. Changed by the passage. Arriving in this universe not as what it had been, not as the creative consciousness of the previous universe, but as the specific, altered thing that surviving the Primordial Void's force produced in a being of that specific nature." She paused. "The change was…" She stopped. "In the previous universe, it was the source of everything. The origin of every created thing. The consciousness from which all consciousness derived.""In this universe, having passed through the Primordial Void, it is…" She stopped again. "It is not that anymore."

Chapter: Chapter 313: The grand master’s archives:"That," Kaelen Ashwright immediately said, "is the most honest thing you have said.""Yes," Miran Voidwright said. "I know."Moments later Kaelen Ashwright left the room.He walked back down the corridor and through the administrative quarter's afternoon quality and out into the garden where Old Moth was sitting on the bench with the walking stick across her knees and the Dreaming Stone beside her.They were still in the specific, contained quality of conversation that did not require continuous speech.The quality of beings who communicated at the formation-frequency level and who were, between the spoken exchanges, doing the communication that preceded and followed the spoken parts.He stood at the garden's edge and watched them.He watched Old Moth's blind white eyes oriented toward the sky and the Dreaming Stone's ancient, interested eyes oriented toward Old Moth and the specific, quiet quality of two things that had been alone for a very long time being, for the first time in wha
