After the Hanwu Star System fell to the Insect Race, Xuanyuan Bo used treasures to recruit factions for the war while Heavenly Court intensified its hunt for Hell. Li Xuancang kept the Clear Origin Domain peaceful and strengthened its forces, but postponed expansion because Heavenly Court's moves made conflict too risky.
