The Realm of Immortality was in chaos, with wars raging everywhere.
Yan Zhou issued final ultimatums to the north, the Western Wilderness, and the Southern Border, but no one would easily abandon their homeland. They all wanted to resist first. Thus, it seemed like every region was involved in war, and the people suffered terribly.
In a normal society, the civilians would have long rebelled. But this was a world built upon cultivation systems, and Yan Zhou was the greatest guarantor of Qiyuan. Moreover, he didn't care about the lives of the common people; his path was not that of a benevolent emperor governing the land with virtue. What he desired was unrivaled authority over a unified world.
Or one might say, it was the destiny of the entire Realm of Immortality!
