On this side of the sheer cliff lay chunks of land connected by iron chains, whereas on the other side stretched a vast and distinctive continent.
This was the Nanzhan Continent, which existed as a giant mountainous landform, lower on the outside and higher on the inside.
If one could look down from above, the entire Nanzhan Continent appeared as a series of terraces with clear divisions, comprising nine layers from the lower to the uppermost.
The first through the third layers were inhabited by generations of farmers and shepherds.
The fourth through sixth layers housed the bureaucratic and official classes.
The seventh to ninth layers were the dwelling places of the nobility.
