Afterward, Di Tian explained that the alliance was a means to isolate Amon while conserving Star Dou Forest’s strength, and the soul beasts prepared for a united campaign.

Meanwhile, Amon sensed the Beast Tide’s powerful fates and prepared to flee, as the White Tiger Army invaded Shangyun City and began slaughtering its defenders.
