Lord of the Star Sea

Lord of the Star Sea is a long novel of interstellar civilization by the web author Dark Prison Lord, serialized on Qidian from 2013 and completed in 2022, totaling about 3.05 million characters. The story is set in an interstellar age: after several cycles of rebirth, human civilization has risen to its peak again, and the descendants of the dragon are spread across the sea of stars. On the northwestern frontier of the Huaxia Empire, a deep-space survey fleet returning from a mission to explore the ruins of an ancient super-civilization is ambushed by elite forces of the Gambino Royal Court; to protect the sacred relic obtained from the ruins, the commanding general dies for his country in a desperate situation, and his consciousness is reborn through the ancient relic into the body of a youth. Thereafter, the protagonist begins by surviving in a wasteland under alien occupation, gradually grows through the ancient civilization's legacy and his own talent, and is drawn into power struggles at the empire's highest levels, diplomatic games among alien races, and large-scale star-sea battles, moving through the Bilo star system and building his own power and realm. As the world-ending crisis of the "Civilization Purger" emerges, personal grudges ultimately escalate into a final confrontation determining the survival of humanity and many civilizations. With a rigorous system of supernatural ability levels (from the Yuan Star Realm to Civilization Guardian Sage) as its skeleton, the book constructs diverse interstellar powers such as the Huaxia Empire, the Qingqiu Empire, and the Beiming Prison Empire, unfolding a star-sea epic around power struggles and racial survival.
