Stars Descend Upon the Myriad Worlds

Star Ascends Across the Heavens is a multiverse fantasy web novel by Dark Prison Lord, serialized on Qidian from May 1, 2018. Completed at roughly 3.54 million Chinese characters across 1,337 chapters, it follows Qin Feng, an ordinary man—variously described as a soon-to-graduate medical student—who unexpectedly forms a bond with a mysterious warship from the depths of the starry sea, gaining the ability to travel through time and space and move between countless realms. The story opens in the Great Qi Dynasty, a world resembling ancient China, where Qin Feng encounters Zhao Yuanjin, a rebel leader besieged by imperial forces. By trading gold for grain, he relieves the siege and, drawing on knowledge, technology, and supplies from the modern world, intervenes in that realm’s struggle for supremacy. His footsteps then extend to a post-apocalyptic technological world, a Western magical civilization, an Eastern cultivation and high-martial-arts world, and other planes, where he acquires resources, technology, and talent to strengthen both himself and his base in the real world. The novel is built on resource operations: rather than crushing opponents with brute force, the protagonist accumulates power through trade, backing factions, technological advantage, and informational edge, rising from early commodity arbitrage to participation in interstellar war and confrontation with world will, ultimately constructing a vast empire spanning the real world and the multiverse. The work leans toward an invincible, fast-paced power fantasy with frequent switches between arc worlds, and has drawn some controversy for the protagonist’s extensive harem across these worlds.
