Blood Gu Clan.
A nine-story tower stands atop the mountain peak, its spire seemingly touching the vast expanse of stars.
On the ninth floor of the tower is a room, though situated at the very top, it is shrouded in darkness.
In the corner of this room, a girl is imprisoned.
This girl is Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei has been held here for almost a week.
Every day, her sole task is to be illuminated by the starlight channeled through a formation at the top of the tower. It's said this process is called the 'Star Baptism.'
She doesn't understand the purpose of all this, but so far, her body has shown no abnormal reactions.
Just then, a man wearing a bone-tooth necklace and dressed in a beast robe entered the room on the top floor.
Seeing this man, Tang Beibei's expression changed drastically. She backed away repeatedly, shrinking into the corner, trembling violently.
This was because the man's skin resembled dried tree bark, yet his eyes were as brilliant as the stars.
