Story Guide
Episode 1
A hidden power is about to be dragged into the light. A voice from the Outer Lands Evil Race boasts that the Great Emperor of mankind has hidden well—but his lair has been found. The order goes out: go to the sacred land, destroy the Azure Sunset, and flatten Azure Cloud Peak to force the Emperor out. When someone worries the Emperor might be at his peak, the answer comes with a sealed drop of blood—enough to open a void rift and let a sliver of a monstrous form descend. If the Emperor dares to attack, that sliver will devour him on command. The hunt for Ethan Sterling has begun.

Episode 2
The system flags the Outer Lands Evil Race approaching the sacred land, target Azure Cloud Peak. Ethan Sterling grumbles that he knew he shouldn't have gone out. A disciple asks what's wrong—there are guests. These are no ordinary people from the outer lands, so it's time to test the formation. Fight? Of course they fight. But Ethan insists no one can know it was them. The bigger the event, the more they must act, or revenge will become a never-ending cycle. His plan: let the Azure Sunset know there's an enemy attack, then let the old patriarch manifest and take the credit again—even though the old patriarch couldn't be more dead.

Episode 3
The enemy arrives with a demand: hand over Azure Cloud Peak, or the sect is destroyed. They're coming for Azure Cloud Peak again, and a voice asks what on earth Senior Sterling provoked this time. Unbothered, Ethan issues the order—combat readiness, destroy the enemy, and let the patriarch manifest. The one rule: don't blow their cover. A disciple begs to throw something first, aiming it right at the face of the most arrogant one. The Outer Lands sneer at this lowly continent and its sect of ants, questioning whether they deserve a Great Emperor—while the Azure Sun Sect insists it has no beef with the outer lands.
