Another storm of wind and rain quietly subsided with the sunrise in the east, shattering the assassination attempt of the anti-Qin alliance. The rule of the Great Qin Empire seemingly returned to calm once more, as if nothing had happened the night before. The First Emperor of Qin, strategizing from within his tent, successfully carried out a major purge of the anti-Qin forces across the land, forcing them to quietly retreat into the vast world of the martial arts realm to recuperate and rebuild. The ensuing Burning of Books and Burying of Scholars incident also allowed the First Emperor to successfully eliminate dissidents. The Mirage finally set sail, heading overseas in search of the elixir of immortality. However, numerous obstacles still remain on the path to the Great Qin Empire's eternal reign. The northern wolf tribe, which has long coveted the Central Plains, erupted once again with a new wave of assaults after a prolonged period of dormancy. The increasingly frequent border wars have left the empire's iron cavalry exhausted and struggling to cope. (The prologue aired on December 27, 2018. The official broadcast began on October 8, 2020.)
