Within the Void World-Domain, Court Executive Dai stood atop the Grand Platform, watching vast quantities of supplies being sent through the Two-Realm Passage to the Origin Xia side. He understood that these were not only preparations for the next battle, but might also be used in the final decisive war.
Although they were still within the period of the agreement with Origin Xia, everyone in the Profound Court believed that, so long as conditions were suitable, they might not need to heed Origin Xia's so-called considerations of gain and loss after another year.
From his perspective, Origin Xia had to be eradicated, but Celestial Xia could not retreat back to its homeland either. The forward position had to be maintained.
There were practical considerations behind this as well.
Over the years, driven by its confrontation with Origin Xia, Celestial Xia's progress had been unprecedented. Aside from maintaining the necessities of civilian life, nearly all of its strength had been invested in the war effort.
If they retreated now, not only would they be unable to further restrain Origin Xia, but Celestial Xia's own pace of advancement might slow after such a sudden relaxation. Thus, they could not stop; they had to keep advancing.
And to ensure that nothing went wrong in the battles at the front, the rear had to be stabilized during the period of the agreement, its strength gathered in, so that they could strike outward more effectively afterward.
