From east to west, the Earth Immortal Realm was engulfed in war. At the foot of Spirit Mountain, Buddha-light shattered, and beyond the South Heaven Gate, the heavenly pillar toppled.
The will of the Heavenly Dao sensed that the power of Causality from the Journey to the West Calamity was draining away at an irretrievable rate.
