To the west of Bai Chi Country, a turmoil was coalescing.
The King arrested a group of rebellious officials and demanded, "Why do you betray me?"
"Your Majesty, it's a fortunate event for our Human Clan that anyone in Wanling Country can cast Spells."
One official replied, "We should welcome this."
"The Heavenly Emperor governs the Three Realms, why bother resisting, Your Majesty?"
Another official spoke as well, "This is the prevailing tide, futile to resist like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
All those who were in the know understood that it was impossible for mortals to resist the allure of power.
Once the inherently weak mortals gained such power, who would care about your mundane royal authority? With a single call from the Heavenly Emperor, responders would echo through the heavens.
It was only a matter of time before the Heavenly Emperor would take control of the Northern Continent.
