Seeing that the Myriad God Hall's devouring of the Elemental Sea could no longer be stopped, Immortal Lord Tianhao immediately ordered a retreat to avoid even greater losses.
They had learned their lesson from the previous great battle. When the God Realm and the Spirit Realm had fully fused, the tremendous power unleashed had allowed the Ninth Rank Sovereigns, Ninth Rank Spirit Lords, and others to lead the Spirit God Realm's army in a counterattack. The Star Alliance Army had suffered a crushing defeat, and even three Ninth Rank Star Lords had been gravely wounded.
Now, the fusion of the supreme treasure, the Myriad God Hall, and the Elemental Sea had likewise become impossible to stop. Once the fusion was complete, it would surely unleash tremendous power.
If Liang Ji and the other Ninth Rank Star Lords, along with the Star Alliance Army, were still in the Spirit God Realm then, they would surely be caught in another counterattack by the Ninth Rank Sovereigns, Ninth Rank Spirit Lords, and the Spirit God Realm's army under their command.
It could once again leave the Star Alliance Army suffering grievous losses, and perhaps even leave one or two Ninth Rank Star Lords gravely wounded.
That was naturally the last thing Liang Ji and the other Ninth Rank Star Lords wanted to see. So when they had devised their tactics, they had already decided that if they could not stop the Myriad God Hall and the Elemental Sea from fusing, they would lead the Star Alliance Army out of the Spirit God Realm at the crucial moment.
They would sooner give up the nearly half of the Beast God Star Domain they had already conquered and lose the River of Realm Protection they had already breached again than risk the Ninth Rank Star
