The Desolate Heaven Empire had rapidly split into two.
One side stood with the Bai Clan, while the other supported the Li–Zhao Alliance.
Even those who had not formally joined either faction held strong opinions about who was better suited to reign over the Desolate Heaven Empire.
Many who once shared close relationships but now stood on opposite sides gradually turned from friends into enemies.
It no longer mattered what history they had shared—only what future awaited them based on the side they chose.
After all, the Bai Clan's side accused the Li–Zhao Alliance of thievery and lacking morals, while the Li–Zhao Alliance denied all accusations.
Some even falsely claimed that it was their alliance's cultivation technique that had later been stolen by the Bai Clan and distributed as if it were their own.
This only fueled the anger of the Bai Clan's alliance toward the Li–Zhao Alliance.
As the divide deepened, words were no longer enough.
