Dusk Continent, the northern Dark Jade Rampart.
Several days ago, south of the Ashenfang Traverse, terrifying energy fluctuations had erupted, alarming the Grand Sage and Grand General of the Silvermoon Empire.
Such intense energy fluctuations—it was obvious that a battle, perhaps even a heaven-shattering war, had occurred in the south.
"The energy fluctuations have subsided; the battle should be over. I wonder which side was victorious."
On the walls of the Dark Jade Rampart, Grand General Dorian and Grand Sage Merrick sat opposite each other, a circular Go-like game board placed between them.
Their ability to sense such distant energy fluctuations indicated that both Grand General Dorian and Grand Sage Merrick were Archlord-level powerhouses.
"Grand Sage, has there been any news from our esteemed patron regarding this sudden situation?"
