A thousand years ago the Celestial Realm of God collapsed, leaving nothing but emptiness—a bottomless void. The reason for this catastrophic event remained an unsolved mystery. Yet among men, demons, and divine beings, a rumour continues to circulate. They say that the Celestial Realm collapsed because God—the absolute divine being—abandoned His throne. With His departure, the realm itself became truly unreachable, even to divine beings. It was said that whoever could reach the Void Heaven could become God. Thousands of years went by in a flash. Now in a little village of Zu, the Imperial Sect of Isu Mountain had arrived to conduct their annual disciple examination. Little Mu was determined to pass the exam this time and finally begin his journey of cultivation. After all, this was already his seventeenth attempt, and he was now thirty-two years old. This was far past the age most cultivators began. The title Little Mu had followed him for a very long time. It was a reminder of how insignificant, skinny, and untalented he was believed to be. He had been known for his struggles—but over the years, with each failure, he worked hard. He clearly lacked the talent to be a cultivator—which had been proven through the last sixteen failed attempts. Still, he believed this time would be different. Seventeen would be his lucky number. "Make Way!" A loud voice rang out as an unknown figure made his way through the back of the queue. It was one of the examiners—Senior Disciple Zhu, in he possession was a ledger which contained list of valid participants. "Excuse me,pig ..out of the way" screamed a young man. Little Mu was dragged back as the young man made his way past him. He wondered what was the boy's issue but that thought was cut short as another individual interrupted him. "He's the prodigy from the Jeku Clan,the second chief's son and the pride of the clan". Said the individual Little Mu thought how pleasent and easy going life would have been for him if he had such talents.Then again he was interrupted for the second time. "What's your name? Skinny one" asked the individual.The thought of been called skinny was infuriating but Mu could only think to himself as he was powerful at best. "Ohh,me?Ha Ha" replied subtly pointed at his face.Little Mu at any cost would like to avoid any confrontation,so he swallowed his pride and cooperated. "am Mu Li,but you can call me Mu" he replied.
