Having conquered most of Asia, Genghis Khan moves to Europe. He has to face the most difficult part of the journey - crossing the Saryozek steppe. One day, a stranger appeared before Genghis Khan, who did not prostrate before the Ruler of the world. He predicted to Genghis Khan that the White Cloud above his head would accompany him all the way, which must be guarded - having lost it, Genghis Khan would lose his great power. Eternity says: “There is no medicine, no elixir to make you immortal. You are mortal and cruel. And you are punished because of cruelty".
