Towering skyscrapers rise amid the bustling modern city, brimming with the flow of traffic.
In an office at the top of a building, an elder's face is covered with clouds as he gazes at the prosperous city outside, his brow deeply furrowed.
Behind him, a television is broadcasting one news item after another.
"…The newly appointed National Security Advisor for the United States publicly stated that the US should be ready to sacrifice ten million people to initiate and win the next nuclear war…"
"…Russian Foreign Minister: a third party cannot create discord between China and Russia…"
Listening to the news, the elder let out a deep sigh. Just then, as a knock sounded, he turned off the television and spoke up, "Come in."
A young man bearing some resemblance to the elder entered and said to him, "Grandpa, everything is ready at the Heavenly Court; I'll head to Kunlun Mountain tomorrow."
