The Insect Race suddenly vanished from the entire Western Realm, immediately causing an uproar throughout the realm.
Although Gelaxie disliked the Insect Race, having such a powerful force around had indeed spared the Western Realm a great deal of unnecessary trouble.
But their inexplicable disappearance from the Western Realm forced Gelaxie to suspect that it had something to do with Muya suddenly going missing.
Gelaxie, who should have been the least inclined to look for them, instead mobilized the entire council to search for the Insect Race.
News of the Insect Race's disappearance from the Western Realm soon reached the Northern Realm, where everyone began discussing it as well.
All kinds of bizarre rumors flooded the universe, as though the universe would be destroyed unless the Insect Race was found.
Both the Western Realm and the Northern Realm began searching for the Insect Race, while the Dragon Race grew even more frantic.
They had already found the key to breaking the Judgment Dragon's seal. All that remained was to defeat the Western Realm Great Emperor, yet the Insect Race had vanished at this critical moment.
Had the Western Realm Great Emperor secretly wiped them out? Or had they chosen to flee rather than help the Dragon Race?
The Dragon Race's fleet, a hundred trillion strong, also began searching for the Insect Race along the northwestern border and even farther afield.
Meanwhile, the Splendid Council in the south was celebrating wildly. With the Insect Race gone, they finally no longer had to pay tribute. Still, to confirm that the Insect Race had truly disappeared, they sent a small team to the Western Realm.
Seated on the Eastern Realm council's throne, Madoc listened to his adjutant's report and asked in surprise, "The Insect Race disappeared at the border of my Eastern Realm?"
