For major powers, sometimes it was not simply a matter of getting along peacefully just because neither side bore hostility.
A faction was different from an individual. Even with the special nature of Great Power Resides in the Individual, as long as one had not become a transcendent existence like those at the Other Shore, one would still be subject to all kinds of constraints.
Great Shang and the Xuantian Sect had always maintained a fairly harmonious relationship. They shared a consensus regarding the demonic path factions, and Great Shang had even lent out the Time Blade when dealing with Recoome.
Yet even so, after the Xuantian Sect caused this incident of restarting the Nine Heavens—
The positions of Great Shang and the Xuantian Sect naturally began to shift.
The Xuantian Sect had restarted the Nine Heavens, and all the heavenly ladders of the Nine Heavens had fallen into the Xuantian Sect's hands. Would they reestablish the Heavenly Court?
What would the Xuantian Sect's disciples think? What would Great Shang's subjects think?
Great Shang could not yield, while the Xuantian Sect likewise could not yield because of the Time Blade and the foundation of its path.
On top of that, those who had been holding themselves back for so long began fanning the flames.
And fate itself began making its moves.
Naturally, the atmosphere between the two sides changed with each passing day.
After two months, the two sides, once close allies, had developed an air thick with gunpowder.
As for this matter, although the other Righteous Path factions called for calm and restraint, it was inconvenient for them to take sides.
Under all manner of coincidences and secret manipulation, both sides were forced onward step by step.
It was at this moment that a new Death Mission appeared.
