This battle was the Human Race's first great war since its founding, and another of Hong Jun's probes into the mortal world.
Pan Xuan personally oversaw matters from outside the battlefield, but did not intervene.

"This is Hong Jun's handiwork. Can he truly not bear to see the Human Race at peace?"
Shennong used medicinal herbs to heal the army's wounded.

He forced this pawn of Hong Jun's to fight on his own ferocious might, without further reinforcements.
Xuanyuan fought Chi You for nine days and nine nights, until heaven and earth darkened and the sun and moon lost their light.
Chi You's ferocious might surged to the heavens. Xuanyuan fought as he retreated, finally drawing on the hundred schools of military strategy to lay an Ambush from Ten Sides.
