Ragan realized he would make little progress if things continued this way. Staying with a perpetually ranked-seven, and precarious at that, offered no future. Everything aside, all the factions targeted Spectral Legacy because each death of an apprentice from the faction would weaken it, further entrenching their seventh place.This trial made Ragan realize he had to leave Spectral Legacy or he would eventually die amidst the faction's struggles. Humanity had never recognized his bloodline, and some apprentices even secretly called him a mongrel—a term that infuriated him. Therefore, Ragan never liked humans. Despite them raising him and teaching him to train, he despised them because they were not his kin.Ragan decided to incite Heavenly Order’s wrath through a series of provocations. They issued the central lands order, indicating they would no longer tolerate Spectral Legacy’s misdeeds. All the affected factions could unite to attack them, whether or not Spectral Legacy handed ov

Tranquile concentrated only on alchemy, leaving combat responsibilities to Heavenly Order. In this arrangement, they were just workers. Whenever problems arose, they would depend on Heavenly Order. But with Heavenly Order’s authority now in decline, they were unsure of their next steps.Level nine immortals would only get involved when Heavenly Order faced a critical situation. If Immortals Alliance stayed rational, they would avoid provoking Heavenly Order. However, the intentions of the other five factions remained uncertain. Heavenly Order's mistake had led to a loss of momentum, leaving them uncertain about whether to fight. Engaging in battle would mean confronting the entire central lands as Immortals Alliance was a grassroots group. Conversely, choosing not to fight could lead to Immortals Alliance undermining their influence, even if they didn’t attack. Therefore, Heavenly Order could only stay quiet.It was then that credible information from the maritime immortal world that

Ragan’s voice spread uniquely in frequency and volume until it reached the Daemon Domain. There, a blood-red eye noticed his voice. A massive head emerged, listened, and departed gleefully to report to its superiors.In the Daemon Domain, a strict hierarchy required reporting any event. Everything was reported to the family, then a course of action would be decided on by family elders, or reported to the tribe and decided by the tribal leader. Eventually, the upper leaders realized the signal originated from a domain they had failed to conquer twice. After brief communication among level eight and above daemon ancestors, they set out toward the spatial coordinates.The technology mastered by the daemons was beyond human comprehension. Their invasions relied on their ability to perform spatial jumps using coordinate points to form a spatial array. However, the daemons encountered limitations. High-ranking daemon ancestors could not pass through easily or had to pay a considerable pric

On this day, a large city under the rule of Immortals Alliance was attacked by an unknown organization and quickly fell. All the immortals within vanished without a trace, all signs of battle were erased, and even level eight immortals could not discern what had happened.In the following days, more and more strange incidents occurred within Immortals Alliance. Although there was no concrete evidence, everyone knew it was the work of Heavenly Order.After several rounds of internal power struggles and interest bargaining, the radicals within Immortals Alliance defeated the conservatives and declared war on Heavenly Order. They accused Heavenly Order of various crimes and concluded that the upper echelons of Heavenly Order were controlled by daemons.Immortals Alliance sought to rebel, and Heavenly Order had been waiting for this moment. As the embodiment of justice, it was impossible for them to declare war on Immortals Alliance proactively.Although Immortals Alliance declared war

Thus, the conservative and pro-war factions within Immortals Alliance engaged in intense debates daily. The dilemma continued until the problem of the Daemon Domain's invasion emerged.Immortals Alliance then issued a warning. If they continued the fight, it would only benefit the Daemon Domain. If the Daemon Domain managed to establish a foothold, the situation would become even more dire. But if Heavenly Order decided to continue the war, Immortals Alliance would fiercely resist and retaliate.The decision-making body of Heavenly Order, composed of level eight immortals, was at an impasse. They could only report the situation to their elders. Ultimately, the level nine immortals would decide whether to fight or negotiate. The moment the report was made, it became clear to those involved that continuing the battle was no longer necessary.The level nine immortals were focused on the survival of their faction rather than its operational issues. With the Daemon Domain invading the hu
