A Young Man's Journey to the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty

In the seventh year of the Tianbao era, outside Shule City, history’s butterfly flaps its wings in a Tang army camp. A young man who has transmigrated across a thousand years leads the youths of various ethnic groups he has met along the way from the Western Regions to Chang’an, hoping to protect the glory and splendor of the Great Tang with the long saber in his hand! There are sparks of change, such as a different outcome at Talas and the subjugation of Tibet, but an emperor weary of governing, suspicion between father and son, endless factional strife, growing regional warlords, and increasingly powerful eunuchs: the immense momentum of history still shackles the ailing Great Tang, sending Chinese civilization further into the abyss of darkness. As history’s twilight draws near, amid the flames of war during the An Lushan Rebellion, the young man, having lost his dearest loved ones and disillusioned with everything that came before, returns to the Western Regions. Facing the familiar deep lakes of the Tianshan Mountains and oases in the desert, the resolute young men of the Great Tang stand ready with sabers in hand. Embracing new dreams, they charge toward the boundless earth!
