For a long time, the Divine Land had always regarded Izumo as a tiny, bullet-sized nation.
In fact, when looked at in the context of the whole world, it was by no means small. Its land area was comparable to that of one of those Western powerhouses, roughly equivalent to two or three of Divine Land's coastal provinces.
Under the god-like governance of Xu Fu, the Thunder Tribulation Heavenly Monarch, the country achieved a leapfrog development. After full industrialization, it thrived economically by plundering resources from abroad.
Its capital—Cherry Capital, was definitely one of the most bustling cities in the world. Skyscrapers dotted the horizon. The luxury of the upper class goes without saying, and even the ordinary folk lived quite well.
The streets were filled with all kinds of food and service stores, with taxis honking impatiently everywhere. Commoners had spare time to play chess, watch kabuki, and even go to the movies.
However, all of this came to an abrupt collapse starting from last year.
The god-like Emperor actually lost to the strongest of the Yi Dynasty, perishing on Tsushima Island!
When the news reached the homeland, countless citizens couldn't believe it. After repeatedly confirming its truth, there was a national outpouring of grief and cries, soon followed by clamors for revenge!
Unexpectedly, the Yi Dynasty launched a direct assault, their armies invaded the homeland, unstoppable as a broken bamboo!
The national strength was severely depleted, and the good days for the people of Izumo were over almost instantly.
