At the beginning of the fourth year, the delegation led by Zhang Yi returned.
They had not let Xiao Tianyang down and had successfully completed their mission.
Although the price they paid was slightly higher than expected, the outcome was good.
At the very least, the cost remained within what they could bear.
As for whether the Void Will would keep its word... since a price had been paid, it could not merely have been a verbal promise.
With the Heavenly Dao Will as Witness, there was no need to fear the Void Faction going back on its word.
Besides, the Void Faction truly had no energy left to deal with Xiao Tianyang.
First, the Abyss Faction's plan had already begun.
It was a conspiracy targeted at the strongholds of numerous Ninth Tier Planes.
Only Eternal Night had been excluded.
There were two key reasons for that.
Eternal Night had returned less than a year ago, so the Abyss Faction naturally could not have arranged anything against them in advance.
Taking a step back, who would dare enter Eternal Night's plane and fight them there?
The news that Eternal Night had fused its Plane Spirit with its Plane Will was no longer a secret.
Such a phenomenon was unique even within the Heavenly Dao Realm.
The enormous boost it provided made the Abyss Battlefield look insignificant by comparison.
To put it simply.
Augustine was known as the strongest among those of the same rank.
Now, that title had become questionable.
After all, he had already been defeated by Xiao Tianyang twice in a row.
Yet before Xiao Tianyang reached his true peak, that title still belonged to Augustine.
However, if Augustine entered Eternal Night, Duma would be fully capable of pinning him to the ground and pounding him into submission.
