While the Great Huan Celestial Lord Xiao Ying hurried into secluded cultivation, the Great Huan Celestial Dynasty did not settle down, furl its banners, and rest to recover its strength. Nor did peace descend upon the world simply because the descended immortal gods had yielded to the Great Huan Celestial Dynasty. On the contrary, the situation grew even more chaotic.
The great powers and factions had spent enormous amounts of time, effort, and logistical resources mobilizing their armies this time. Naturally, they would not simply withdraw. The Great Huan Celestial Dynasty, meanwhile, wanted to seize the opportunity presented by the descended immortal gods' surrender to deal its opponents a crippling blow. With Xiao Ying's goal of tempering his troops added to the mix, it had no desire to coexist peacefully either!
Previously, Xiao Ying had refused to let the allied armies enter his territory, preventing the various factions' forces from getting their hands on the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm. As a result, those alliances had seized the opportunity to launch fierce attacks along the Great Huan Celestial Dynasty's borders. Although only about half a month had passed, the sheer size of both sides' armies meant that millions of soldiers had already bloodied the battlefields. The fighting was intense and brutal!
When they heard that the Great Huan Celestial Dynasty had slaughtered large numbers of descended immortal gods and "invited" the survivors to the Nine Dragons Forbidden City, where they would no longer interfere in mortal affairs, the allied armies grew somewhat alarmed. Even so, they did not withdraw. Instead, they wanted to capture more Great Huan territory in one sustained push. Otherwise, once the Great Huan Celestial Dynasty had absorbed the logistical resources it had obtained from the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm, their chances of victory would be even slimmer,
