The Demon Emperor frowned. Could the other worlds have failed to think of what he had thought of? Their region was probably the Wisdom Race's rear base, as well as the source of its resources.
There were definitely major wars raging on its front lines.
Thus, seizing more territory would slow the Wisdom Race's invasion.
After the Demon Emperor discussed his thoughts with the Overlords, the Nine-Star Eternals all agreed.
So the Demon Emperor and the others began their return journey. Rather than continuing to track the Wisdom Race, they chose to develop their forces.
Even if they found its territory, what would that accomplish? Given the Wisdom Race's development model, its territory must already have been frighteningly vast.
Moreover, it might not have been expanding only westward. It was very likely fighting to the east, south, and north as well.
That was precisely why it used these smaller armies to conquer individual worlds.
It succeeded almost every time.
Especially since it could track newly ascended worlds, it could wipe them out before they even had time to react.
Of course, if it was unlucky enough to encounter a situation like the Demon Emperor's, with many worlds ascending simultaneously, it would suffer some losses.
