Immortal Ascension Tower

Foretold to liberate the Land of Countless Planes from its Tyrant, a child of prophecy was thrust into centuries of struggle and loss. Though Xu Ling persisted on the arduous path of a saviour for three hundred years, his efforts still failed him at the last step. Bested in battle by the Tyrant, his blue eyes closed then, in eternal rest. The myriad worlds grieved at his untimely end, and the rekindled ember of hope extinguished with him: Heaven's Tyrant Tian was to oppress forever on. A thousand years after the demise of Xu Ling, the picture moves to a lower world in a remote corner of existence, far away from the influence of the Heavenly Realm. There, a child lies supine by a burning village. Wistfully, he looks at the night sky. The strange entity that gave him a second chance now dormant in his consciousness, the rekindled ember so greets the stars of his fallen companions: "Fret not and watch over me, you all," he reassures them, "As our conflagration again blazes at the loathsome despot usurping the Highest Throne." This time, he shan't fail. (Discord: https://discord.gg/Bqgv7NSFY8 -> illustrations channel -> plenty of illustrations!!!)
