Ye Xiwen's utterly domineering Imperial Decree spread throughout the Myriad Realms and naturally reached the Heavenly Race as well. The Heavenly Race army was now spread across the Myriad Realms, its momentum at its peak, yet Ye Xiwen wanted them to withdraw with a single decree—and even demanded that their Emperor Lords kill themselves. What outrageous arrogance!
Countless Heavenly Race experts, high and low, were furious. No matter how strong Ye Xiwen was, could he truly sweep aside such a mighty army?
But soon afterward, news from the Heavenly Race Continent spread out, especially to the Heavenly Race higher-ups in the Myriad Realms, who received it almost immediately.
The moment they saw the news, everyone fell silent. Ye Xiwen was too powerful. Not only had the Emperor Lords been no match for him, casually blasted to death by his hand, but even the pillar of support in their hearts—the Heavenly Race Old Ancestor, who had sheltered them through several Wars Against the Heavens and who had repeatedly risen tenaciously after being driven out time and again—had been slain by Ye Xiwen.
In other words, they would never again be able to return whenever they wished as they had before.
The defeat and death of the Heavenly Race Old Ancestor foretold that, if they left the Myriad Realms, they would likely find it difficult to return in the future. Even if they did return, they would never be able to sweep through everything as they did now. That was simply impossible.
They were recovering their strength, but the Myriad Realms were recovering as well. Originally, although the number of Emperor Lords on both sides was nearly equal, their strength and foundations had held a firm advantage. But now that both sides were starting anew, could they still retain such an advantage?
