For the next month, Shen Fan stayed in Welcoming Sacred City.
During that month, Welcoming Sacred City grew livelier by the day.
Almost every day, a new True Spirit Race or a True Spirit Grade faction with comparable foundations arrived in Welcoming Sacred City.
Among these factions, Shen Fan also spotted a few familiar faces.
For instance, the Hongyu Clan, with whom he had crossed paths, and the Ghost Clan, Shaluo Clan, and Spirit Parasite Race, all of whom had once plotted against him.
To achieve a good "score" in this True Spirit War, these races had brought out all their hidden strength!
Even the True Ancestor-level Old Ancestors who had spent years guarding their ancestral lands emerged one after another.
That was when the difference between them became clear.
A race with shallow foundations, like the Hongyu Clan, had only one Ninth Grade True Ancestor.
But races with deep foundations, like the Ghost Clan and the Spirit Parasite Race, had more than a dozen True Ancestor-level Old Ancestors leading their forces!
Under normal circumstances, a small race like the Hongyu Clan would have no reason to take part in a contest like this.
They would only be going to their deaths!
And yet they had come, and not a single member of the race showed even a hint of guilt or fear.
It was as if they had some trump card that guaranteed victory.
Curious, Shen Fan used a few means to "make inquiries," and soon understood the secret.
It turned out that small races like the Hongyu Clan, with only one or two True Ancestors guarding them, had secretly joined forces long ago and formed an entirely new alliance.
The alliance's strength naturally surpassed that of any single True Spirit Hegemon Race.
But Shen Fan wasn't optimistic about
