This time, the Western Teach's arrangements within the Human Race had left it with nothing but its underwear.
Previously, Zhunti and Jieyin had painstakingly improved the environment at the heart of The West.

"Rise Zhou, Destroy Shang, and reshape the Human Race's structure. It must be done!"
Zhunti and Jieyin nodded. "And?"
