Everyone swiftly cleared the battlefield and established new defensive lines.
At the same time, the news was sent back to the rear, causing an unprecedented uproar.
"The fortress held. The Abyss has been driven back."
Since the war began, the Divine Dynasty's people had been gripped by fear, worried that the fortress would be breached at any moment.
When word came that the Abyss had been repelled, the great stone weighing on the anxious people's hearts finally fell to the ground.
One after another, they celebrated in wild jubilation, until the land became a sea of cheers.
"Court Master Li turned the tide and possessed invincible valor."
"With Court Master Li, the Divine Dynasty is blessed."
"With Court Master Li guarding the fortress, we can sleep easy."
"..."
Countless people sang Li Xuancang's praises, as though he were a savior.
People had completely forgotten how they had once condemned Li Xuancang with their pens and tongues, as though those who had cursed him before had not been them.
The Human Race's ingrained vice was to love creating gods, yet deep in their hearts, they also yearned to drag those gods down from their altars.
"As expected of Marquis Wu'an. Wherever he goes, he is someone people can only look up to."
"I hope Marquis Wu'an remains safe and sound. His great path holds limitless promise."
"It is a pity that my strength is limited. I am not qualified to follow Marquis Wu'an."
"..."
The Human Race citizens from the Wild Continent had already put down roots throughout the Divine Dynasty and integrated into it.
Upon hearing news of Li Xuancang, they felt honored as though it had happened to them, and silently prayed for his safety, smooth fortunes, and flourishing martial destiny.
Inside the fortress's main hall, everyone gathered together.
