Datrus Empire

In the southern part of China, within the southern quadrant, there was a place known as Zone 20.

It looked like a massive headquarters, covered in dark blue banners that fluttered in the wind. The fortress was enormous—at least ten times the size of a royal palace.

Towering walls stretched so high they seemed to touch the sky, and watchtowers stood like sentinels on every corner.

Guards patrolled every inch of the area. Most of them were at the peak of the Ascended rank, and some had even reached the Transcendent stage.

Every single one of them wore a dark blue uniform, looking sharp and disciplined.

This was the heart of the Datrus Empire.

Behind the great gates was a thriving city. Streets buzzed with life, shops were open, and people went about their day without fear. Tall buildings lined the clean roads, and the economy was stable.
