In the Primordial Era, geniuses were born one after another. After countless years, the peerless talent Yan Nantian finally built a city in Zhongzhou. In time, countless heroes built countless cities across the four regions and eight wastelands. But after the great battle of the Archaic Era, many cities were destroyed, then consumed by time and worn away by the years. To this day, only the world's thirty-six oldest cities remain. Each of the thirty-six great clans rules one city. Those who scheme do so not with arms, but with strategy. Thus, the saying "Thirty-Six Stratagems to Pacify the World" spread throughout the jianghu. All thirty-six cities are ruled by strategy rather than arms, and every scheme is the work of a strategist. But when the jianghu's fervor fades, how can schemers endure? Small schemes rarely survive; great schemes are made for the world. From the East Sea, Western Wilds, Southern Ranges, Northern Desert, and Zhongzhou, how will a descendant of the Yan clan rise in this new era and unite the four regions and eight wastelands?
