Near the sea in the Southisle Region, a deafening sound could be heard in midair, accompanied by an immense gale force wind. Everything shook.0

Shockingly, two figures were visible within the tempestuous wind, screaming along at high speed. They left behind two streaks in the canopy of heaven as they pierced through the air. Nothing seemed capable of slowing them down.0

There were powerful organizations in Southisle, as well as godly entities, hidden gods, and living beings in all parts of the land, who, as long as they had the power to see, made sure they did nothing to block Xu Qing’s path. They just watched him pass by.0

The waves made by Xu Qing’s disappearance had spread very far, and as a result, his name was known just about everywhere. He was the Grand Darkheaven of the Firemoons. He was also the imperial tutor of humankind. In the east of Revered Ancient, he was about as important as it was possible to get!5

Because of him, all of the east of Revered Ancient had been thrown into a big commotion. The empress of humankind and the three gods of the Firemoons had offered an incredible opportunity. This went to show what both species really wanted, and also revealed who was in charge of the east!0

And thus, although the Southisle Region was sparsely inhabited... it was located in the east, and therefore, even people there had heard of the dharmic decrees issued by humankind and the Firemoon Darkheaven people. All sorts of organizations were paying very close attention as Xu Qing and Erniu left the desert and headed... toward the Forbidden Sea.9

As they made progress, word began to spread that Xu Qing was free. However, even as the news began to spread through the various regions, Xu Qing himself issued a dharmic decree in the Holytide and Nightspirit Regions!0

“Holytide and Nightspirit hereby declare war on the Vivifiends!”3

It was a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering...0
