“Life was the breaker of barriers that pushed cultivators to pave the road toward eternity. The Heavens had its designs—immutable and intractable—yet unable to stop the innumerable beings of the cosmos from grasping for the great beyond.

― TheFirstDefier, Defiance of the Fall 8

When you travel, when you face new circumstances, the world has a way of confronting you with those choices.”
― Eric Dontigney, Unintended Cultivator: Volume Two
