The fall of [Dragon Palace City] had truly exceeded Natsume's expectations.
This was the deep core of the [Shiki Origin Realm], and it was even inside the body of the [Otsutsuki Progenitor God].
If even this place had fallen...?
Then the Otsutsuki Clan might have been wiped out long ago...
Unless either the [Royal Family] or the [Council] had moved against [Dragon Palace City]?
Only that could have possibly brought down the entire [Dragon Palace City]...
But even that would not have been easy!
At present, the [Royal Family] had suffered grievous losses in the previous struggle for the [Yellow Spring Realm].
More than half of the [Council]'s forces had been dispatched on an expedition to the [Fallen God Starfield].
Both sides were at their weakest.
Why would they choose a time like this to use force against [Dragon Palace City]?
It simply made no sense!
Not to mention, the Lord of White Heron City, who controlled the [Artifact Core], was no pushover either.
He might not have been invincible among demigods, but he was definitely no easy target!
Otherwise, he could not have held one side for so many years.
Although the [Royal Family] and the [Council] had factors of mutual restraint involved.
It could not be denied that the Lord of White Heron City himself was powerful.
Trying to remain neutral without sufficient strength was practically a pipe dream...
Therefore, had [Otsutsuki Xushi] acted personally?
Before reviving the [Otsutsuki Progenitor God], did he intend to destroy [Dragon Palace City] and thereby remove the shackles locked around the 'Progenitor Blood Vessel'?
It was highly possible!
"How could this place...?"
"Did that Otsutsuki Progenitor God revive?"
"Probably not yet!"
Natsume shook his head with certainty.
Judging by the state of this place, it should have fallen only recently.
If that
