Urban: Nine Dragons Haul a Coffin, Unveiling Ancient Secrets

The four directions make up the universe, and all of time makes up eternity.

The vast cosmos.

From the First Emperor of Qin gazing at the stars to the launch of one probe after another, humanity never stopped exploring the universe. Then one day, Explorer One, missing for forty years, transmitted a set of images.

In the cold, dark expanse of space, nine black dragons with five claws each hauled a gigantic bronze coffin across the heavens.

It seemed to have been there since time immemorial.

As the camera moved, mural after mural from the bronze coffin was transmitted back to Blue Star.

The first depicted Laozi leaving through Hangu Pass to the west.

The second showed the First Emperor mustering troops to repel an enemy beyond an ancient road among the stars.

The third showed a general leading his soldiers in a devastating battle to the death against monsters from beyond the stars.

As one ancient painting after another was revealed, the truth buried beneath the dust of history gradually came to light.

"...Since ancient times, how many have returned from war...?"

"...We never retreated..."

"...Our lives were spent here..."

"...I offer my blood to the Yellow Emperor..."
