Everything that happened in the Sky God's Palace remained a mystery for most people both in and outside of the palace for some time. With the gods directly leaving the world to go to the Sacred Lotus Dominion, no one who could tell the everyday people what had happened had remained behind.
That did not mean that rumors didn't spread everywhere.
Over two dozen gods just up and leaving the palace was a massive deal that no one could easily ignore. It might have been a bigger deal if not for the fact that a different rumor was beginning to spread around the same time.
The result of the duel between Alex and Ashmaker was spread as well, and the fact that an Immortal had managed to duel a god to a tie was just as huge of a deal to the regular people.
