More than half a century later, things had evolved beyond recognition.
The Realm of Abezan was no longer what it used to be. Lands had shifted and rivers had changed their course entirely.
It couldn't be blamed, however, since all the 8 Realms surrounding the Land Above All had altered to the point of no return.
The war which everyone thought would die down in a decade or two had continued!
No one was expecting it to last so long, but only did it not diminish, but somehow, both sides had enough resources to fuel it even further.
All the Realms had become a war zone so massive that nowhere was safe.
Even the distant smaller Realms and the Broken Worlds had begun to feel the effects of this cosmic scale battle.
The Heavenly Emperor, who had worn silence for so long, had moved once only.
He had given the Supreme Palace's troops to his son, Kami.
This action of his had allowed Kami to continue the assault against the Lord of Shadows for far longer without getting desperate.
