The low point of the Elemental Tide gradually went away.

The glory of the ancient Elves also faded and retreated.

The Human Kingdom started to rise.

Ahead, the Gnolls were blocking the way.

In this great and changing era, all races were struggling to rise.

One new race after another began to step onto this stage.

Facing this world of great competition, Su Lun arrived in this magnificent era with the “Empire Rise” assistance System.

So, why does such a promising situation gradually spiral toward catastrophic collapse?
