Tantai's Turmoil
In the year 1000097 of the Kaiyuan Era, ninety-seven years had passed since the Devil Calamity. During those ninety-seven years, the Nine Nether Legion, led by Su Qiou Shen, had unleashed bloody storms across the Eleven Great Worlds. Aside from the Sealed Demon Land, six of the Nine Lands and seven of the Nine Heavens had fallen into their hands.

The war's front lines, an upper-grade state: Tantai State.
At Tantai State's border, towers had been erected one after another. These were watchtowers, where Alliance members kept a vigilant eye on their surroundings.
Along the border, squads of scouts patrolled the area.
The main military camp was heavily guarded. Inside the central tent sat four women clad in armor, each with a valiant, striking bearing.
They were Yu Si Yan, Dugu Qian, Qing Xuan, and Yun Piaoxue.
Over the years, they had fought in countless battles. Each carried an aura of iron and blood, and all four had distinguished records in the Alliance. Working together, they could hold their own even against a mid-stage Chaos Divine Venerable. They held high positions in the Alliance and were the four commanders of Tantai State.
