It had been three years since the great defeat, but to the various realms, this matter had only just begun to ferment.
Three years was just a blink of an eye to those high and mighty figures. The ferment brought about by this matter and the storm it stirred became stronger and stronger.
The impact of this battle on the allied forces of the various races was imaginable. Everyone had suffered heavy losses. It was not just one faction that had suffered heavy losses. All the factions had suffered heavy losses.
This was also the reason why they had used mixed legions at the beginning. This way, there would not be a situation where people did not put in the effort. There were experts from various races in each legion.
Although the various factions had their own elite legions, most of the experts had been sent out. Now, they had suffered heavy losses.
The upper echelons of the various factions were hopping mad.
It was not just the lower-level experts who had suffered heavy losses. Even the upper echelons of the various factions had lost many God Kings.
Not only had many God Kings from the Heavenly Race fallen, but many God Kings from the allied forces of the various races had also fallen. More than half of them had died when they were defeated.
In the beginning, they had the upper hand because of their strength. Their losses were much less than those of the Heavenly Race. However, it was completely different later on. The Thearch Corpse Dao Artifact continued to chase after them, causing the various races to suffer heavy losses. Even the upper echelons had suffered heavy casualties.
Some King-Conferring Sects only had one or two King-Conferring formidable martial artists. They had simply been removed from the ranks of King-Conferring Sects.
Almost all the pillars of the sects had collapsed. Some had powerful enemies and did not have powerful King-Conferring formidable martial artists to hold down the fort. They either sought protection from other King-Conferring Sects or hid their tails between their legs. Some even hid in mystic realms, closing their doors and not coming out. They did not care about what was happening outside.
They had been forced to their limits. In addition, some sects that were related to the Heavenly Race had been uprooted.
In these three years, there was not enough time for all sorts of reshuffling. All the factions had been cleansing and reshuffling.
Before the battle started, everyone had already thought that they would suffer heavy losses. After all, this was a battle to exterminate the race. The Heavenly Race would definitely struggle with all their might and fight to the death.
Who knew that this fish was a shark? The net was not as strong as everyone had thought. It broke in an instant.
This time, they had suffered heavy losses, but the Tian Clan's losses had not reached the level that everyone had hoped for. They had retained their vitality, and this made everyone feel as if they could not endure it.
Ye Xiwen wasn't very clear about this because he didn't go out even once in the past three years. When he went out, he found that the Myriad Heavens Realms was still very chaotic. It was even more chaotic than he had expected.
Chaos was everywhere. Ye Xiwen didn't stop and went straight to the alliance headquarters. He found the Flame Lord and asked about the changes in the past three years.
The Lord of Flames had more things to do than before. However, most of them were handled by his Primordial Spirit incarnation. Before Ye Xiwen arrived, the Lord of Flames had just come out of seclusion. He had finally broken through to the mid-stage King-Ranked Realm.
In that battle, he had also been defeated. What's more, he had been targeted by one of the Ten Great God Kings of the Heavenly Race. He had almost not been able to escape. It was a tragic sight. However, to him, this battle was also a form of training that he had never experienced before. In just three short years, he had successfully broken through to the late-stage King-Ranked Realm. Among the same batch of people, if one didn't consider Ye Xiwen and the other demons, he was considered one of the fastest.
"Terrible. In these three years, I have been dealing with the later generations. I haven't heard much about the other clans. Our Hidden Valley has also lost a King-Ranked martial artist!" the Flame Lord said.
This time, the losses in Hidden Valley were too great. One lineage was either going to merge with another lineage or be eliminated.
Without a King-Ranked martial artist to hold down the fort, nothing could be guaranteed.
However, it was still much better than a King-Ranked sect being eliminated.
Ye Xiwen fell silent for a moment. He didn't bother with these things and left them all to the Flame Lord to handle. He was basically the hands-off boss.
However, if it were him, he wouldn't be in the mood to deal with these things. What's more, he was at a crucial point in his cultivation. Naturally, he didn't want to bother with these things.
"Junior Brother, you said that you were going into seclusion. Are you out of seclusion now?" The Flame Lord looked at Ye Xiwen in surprise. Previously, when Ye Xiwen said that he was going into seclusion, the Flame Lord thought that it would take a long time. He didn't think that Ye Xiwen would be out so soon.
The Flame Lord looked at Ye Xiwen again and realized that he couldn't tell how strong Ye Xiwen was. Initially, the Flame Lord could only vaguely tell that Ye Xiwen's strength was unfathomable. However, now, he didn't even feel that Ye Xiwen was unfathomable. Instead, he felt that Ye Xiwen was like a calm lake with no wind or waves.
However, the Flame Lord knew that Ye Xiwen wasn't that simple. What's more, Ye Xiwen's real body had appeared. He must have improved.
Originally, Ye Xiwen was already at the mid-stage King-Ranked Realm and could fight against the Ten Great God Kings. Now, didn't that mean that he was about to break through to the late-stage King-Ranked Realm? His true strength would improve by leaps and bounds.
Originally, the Flame Lord thought that he would be able to catch up to Ye Xiwen's cultivation level. As for combat strength, he didn't have any extravagant hopes. What a joke. It was impossible for him to catch up to Ye Xiwen in terms of combat strength. Ye Xiwen was a monster.
Who would have thought that he would be able to catch up to Ye Xiwen's cultivation level after coming out of seclusion? Who knew that he would fall behind Ye Xiwen again?
The Flame Lord couldn't help but sigh again. A normal person couldn't be compared to a monster. However, the stronger Ye Xiwen was, the more advantageous it would be for the Hidden Valley, which had been severely injured.
He was secretly happy in his heart. In the beginning, he still had the thought of competing with Ye Xiwen. But now, he had completely given up on such thoughts.
They weren't on the same level at all.
"Now that Di Ni has not been killed, it will be even more difficult to kill him. Could he really be a big shot favored by the heavens and earth? Even such a huge army couldn't kill him!" Ye Xiwen frowned slightly as he spoke.
"Isn't that so? The losses this time were too great!" The Flame Lord couldn't help but frown at the thought of that scene.
Ye Xiwen hadn't been involved in the aftermath and thus didn't know much about it. However, the Flame Lord understood it all too well.
Ye Xiwen nodded. The sense of crisis in his heart was even heavier. He had to make another breakthrough before Di Ni attained Dao. He had to have the ability to protect himself.
"How are the higher-ups of the alliance army doing now?" Ye Xiwen asked.
The Flame Lord raised his eyebrows and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. This matter is a little troublesome. How much do you know about that Demon Race's Ye Mo?"
"What happened to Ye Mo?" Ye Xiwen asked.
"Now, the higher-ups want to investigate the root cause of this failure. Other than catching some of the spies and spies that the Tian Clan has hidden for a long time, we also want to find the person who sent the news. If I remember correctly, that person should be Ye Mo, right?" The Master of Flames asked with a frown.
Ye Xiwen nodded. He still remembered this matter. It was said that Ye Mo had passed the information to the place where Di Ni was hiding.
At first, he thought that he had made a great contribution. However, it seemed that this wasn't the case. If this battle had gone smoothly, then he would have made a great contribution. However, not only did he fail, but he was also ambushed by the Sky Race. Now, Ye Mo was also on the list of the higher-ups of the alliance army.
Many people even began to clamor that Ye Mo was actually the biggest spy buried by the Sky Race. From the beginning, it was to trick them into falling into a trap.
This argument was very popular. Ye Mo himself didn't have any background. The only person who could be related to him was Ye Xiwen. It seemed that he was the weakest of the bunch. Moreover, the higher-ups of the various races were now extremely angry. He was the target that they needed to vent their anger on.
Therefore, many people had already attributed this failure to Ye Mo. Some people were a little more rational. However, they also felt that even if Ye Mo wasn't a spy, this matter couldn't be separated from him. If it wasn't for the information that he passed, how could the alliance army fall into such a big trap?
It was reasonable for him to stand up and take responsibility.
Recently, such cries were very loud. In particular, some extremely angry families of the victims even went to the higher-ups of the alliance army and requested for a warrant to arrest Ye Mo.
After listening to the Flame Lord's narration, Ye Xiwen couldn't help but smile coldly.
"What a joke. Does the information that Ye Mo passed mean that Ye Mo is a spy?" Ye Xiwen didn't even think about it. It wasn't because he was closer to Ye Mo.
It was because he knew about Ye Mo's background. He knew that Ye Mo couldn't do such a thing.
Ordinary people didn't know, but Ye Xiwen knew that Ye Mo was the Dao tool that the Demon King carried with him. If one were to talk about the noble status in this world, he was basically at the top. How could such a person be a spy for the Heavenly Clan? If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that the Demon King was a spy for the Heavenly Clan?
This was simply impossible. Unrivalled experts who had cultivated to such a level, which one of them wasn't a hero who had experienced countless trials and tribulations? How could they bow down at the feet of the Tian Clan?
"If I remember correctly, after Ye Mo passed the information, the alliance army sent people to verify it. After the verification, they sent the army to surround it. Why does it sound like Ye Mo deliberately led them into the encirclement? They also confirmed the location of the Rebellious Emperor, so they set up such a plan!" Ye Xiwen couldn't help but sneer and say.
"That's true, but …" The Flame Lord was worried. However, before he finished speaking, a loud rebuke came from outside.
"Where is that kid named Ye Xiwen?"
