Today's third update: Chapter 2719! 3/4!
Five hundred years ago, Yuan Lichang had yet to complete her transcendence. She had merely undergone Nirvana Rebirth in that era, temporarily reaching the pinnacle of Blue Star, just like Sky Eye now. Back then, she had planned to complete the Dao Integration transcendence after finishing that War of the Myriad Races.
That War of the Myriad Races had already reached the Third Tier War. As the Three Saint Races of that time, the other races simply had little strength to contend with them.
The saint races had always maintained their inherent exalted status. Even though the Wood Race, foremost among the royal races, was qualified to challenge the saint races in every respect, its own circumstances left it more than capable of holding its ground but insufficient for pursuing greater heights.
Logically speaking, in that War of the Myriad Races, the Three Saint Races should have fought a Holy War that did not damage their foundations, more like probing, comparing, and drilling their forces.
The earlier the era, the more binding the Myriad Races Agreement was, even upon saint races. A race's peak combatants above the sixth realm had no opportunity to fight on Blue Star at all. Normally, they only occasionally clashed above the sixtieth floor of the Haotian Pagoda. The only place where large-scale warfare could truly take place was the Myriad Races Battlefield.
Therefore, races with a sufficient number of sixth-realm experts would not miss the Third Tier War.
But that time, the Kirin Race did not do so. After the Third Tier War began, it shut its doors and refused the other two races' challenges.
Though the races under their command fought one another to the death in ordinary times, the saint races still maintained the proper courtesies.
