At that moment, everyone outside the Imperial Pass was moving backward through time, returning to an earlier moment as people continued to reform and come back to life.
Among them were creatures from the Foreign Realm who had died. They, too, were being resurrected because the immortal light had shone upon them as well.
This was difficult to avoid. The two sides had been locked in battle, and an immortal technique cast on such a vast scale could not distinguish every individual.
"A miracle!" Those from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were thrilled, their grief turning to joy.
It was not merely the joy of seeing their loved ones resurrected. They were also utterly dazzled by the Sage Emperor's heaven-defying ability.
"What a stunning reversal! A fallen legend has returned, achieving glory once again and turning this crisis around!"
At that moment, the whole world was stunned. Some could not help crying out, while others felt their hearts tremble amid the uproar.
