A Crushing Defeat?

Convening the [Supreme Mechanism Council] was no small matter.

It was almost equivalent to the royal family's [Royal Court Conference].

Every convening was a major event capable of determining the future of the entire Otsutsuki Clan!

Just like the last [Mechanism Council].

It had directly established the two major plans of [Developing New Gardens] and [Hunting Jashin], indirectly sparking this great war that affected tens of billions!

Elder Root hesitated slightly.

"Why?"

"Grand Elder Xushiki has disappeared since the war began..."

"Where exactly did he go?"

"I'm not entirely sure either."

That was why Elder Root was powerless.

As Nisshiki and Root stood facing each other in silence.

Even a fool could tell that they were secretly transmitting messages and communicating in private.

They had even excluded Elder Ling Shi.

Seeing this, the royal family was quite disappointed.

It seemed that it would be difficult for
