The Holy Root System, capital of the Radiant Holy Tree Empire.
This magnificent metropolis was the heart of the entire Empire, not because of its immense scale or its uniquely advantageous location.
In terms of sheer size, there were other cities within the Empire that could rival the Holy Root System. But the Imperial Capital held its status because it was home to the Holy Hall where the Divine Ancestor was worshiped. Here, the Radiant Holy Tree had planted its Holy Tree Illusion, showering the city with countless blessings.
Under the Divine Ancestor's protection, the Imperial City People enjoyed treatment befitting the center of the world, fostering a sense of superiority that made them look down on all provincials.
At this moment, however, these self-proclaimed lords of the capital could hardly afford their usual air of superiority.
