On the boundless Xuanling Continent stands an ancient and mighty empire: the Tianlan Empire. It once shone across the land with endless prosperity and splendor, but over time, corruption gnawed at the foundations of the empire like a burrowing insect. Tianlan Imperial City, once a resplendent capital symbolizing supreme authority, is now shrouded in gloom. The emperor is lost in wine and women, neglecting the affairs of state. Corruption runs rampant throughout the court, and the people are destitute. The entire empire is like a battered ship, slowly drifting toward an unknown abyss amid stormy seas.
