The Dragon-Myconid-Bone Spirit Allied Forces didn't overreach themselves. The Spore Jungle had successfully killed a newly ascended Legendary, but that didn't mean they would succeed every time.
The gap between Legendary Rank and the higher ranks was obvious. There was no need to risk provoking a Legendary who might go berserk.
Some people didn't care whether they lived or died. They just wanted to make things difficult for you.
Representatives from the various Expeditionary Armies, along with representatives of Indigenous Empires who had Legendary powerhouses, gathered together. After half a month of debate, they worked out the basic territories of the major factions.
The basic territories were a core clause: no one was allowed to attack them. Anyone who violated the agreement would be declaring war on every faction.
Beyond the basic territories lay many disputed territories.
Whoever claimed the disputed territories would have to prove it with their fists. Whoever won would get them.
After the peace talks, warfare was restricted to those below Legendary Rank. Legendary powerhouses were forbidden from interfering.
Any faction whose Legendary powerhouse lost control and entered the fray would make itself an enemy of everyone. Its basic territories would be stripped away, and all the others would join forces to punish it.
Six new empires arose on the Eastern Continent. Five were colonial empires established by the Expeditionary Armies, while the sixth was a federation formed by the Indigenous peoples coming together.
After another half year of war, the Dragon-Myconid-Bone Spirit Allied Forces defeated every competitor and claimed the disputed territories.
The Eastern Continent was not entirely at peace. The Tri-Element Empire, founded jointly by the Dragons, Myconids, and Bone Spirits, had no territorial disputes, but the disputed lands between the other five empires had yet to be settled.
This had nothing to do
