A glacier, a semi-circular ice tomb.
An old man bent with age gazes at the sky from afar.
"People say that Jiu Shui is the fairest era, a great emperor built the human wonder, Nine-State Earth Vein."
"The popularization of the Earth Vein shortened the distance between people in the world, allowing conversations across thousands of miles and knowledge of distant matters, and the Teleportation Array lets one travel across the Nine-State."
"But who knows... the true flourishing era that the Earth Vein was to unlock was not a scholar's golden age?"
The old man starts coughing continuously, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"It's coming, it's coming, finally it's here."
He looks at the painting stretched across the sky, flame light flowing.
The puppet threads connecting those ancient emperors, listening to the intense roar as it cuts across the earth, battle shocks seem to tear a rift in the world.
