Both Wang Jian and Sasha now symbolizes and represent many things for the people fighting in this war. And even for people watching this war

Of centralization and feudalism.

Of civil officials and military men. Of central power and autonomy of the vassal lords

And these factions are killing each other all over Pandemonium and as the conflict in the capital become tenser, the more death, the more brutality, each one holding righteousness in their hands.

Righteousness tainted by interest

Death fills the land.

But there is no yet massacre of cities.

Everyone knows their limits.

Not because they are all so virtuous that they did not massacre cities.

It is because everyone knows Death Monarch is still alive.

As long as he is alive, as long as he is out there, who would dare to kill?

Who would dare to massacre cities?

They did not know what Death Monarch would do after he returns.

Would he punish those who massacre cities or would he just sigh, lamenting the impermanence of life?

No one knows.

And no one dares to bet that they would not be killed by Death Monarch to uphold some righteousness.

After all, Death Monarch righteousness for tyranny is simply things that he could masquerade.

If Death Monarch after returning wanted to guise the cloak of righteousness, then someone has to be a demon for him to exorcise.

So, no one wanted to be a demon for fear that they would be exorcised the moment Death Monarch returns

If they become a Demon, Death Monarch would surely become the exorcist.

And the way Death Monarch become exorcist is simple.

Cut off the head of the demons, extinguishes the souls of evildoers and all demons would be vanquished.

So, even though there is war going , there is no massacre of cities.

There is no plundering, no razing of cities and kingdom

However, this is a bitter war.

This is a war that has no many things intertwined with it. This is a war that has entangled people.

And such war means that they must be killing. In history, there are many example of war that has no killing but still considered a war.

But this one is not one of those events.

They are killing each other. The cities are not razed, are not plundered the populations are not massacre but there is killing.

This one thing does not stop. After all, could one even say it is a war if no one dies. Would a war be that frightening if there is no death?

It is because there is death, war is always the last measure and it is because there is death war is a weapon that one must carefully used.

Those who loved war would be destroyed. Those who do not prepare for war would be destroyed.

People are not saints but they are not entirely evil either. Those who are individualistic are always a product of something else.

Selfishness become a virtue; compassion become a burden. When a society is like this, this is a warning sign of a society in decline.

For a person to live like an island, then a society should not be formed. But many beings in the universe are social creatures.

Those who want to understand others are always misunderstood and those who hated others are always venerated as a symbol of strength

When in truth, there is no greatest virtue than understanding someone or something else.

Understanding something or someone is an act of seeking knowledge. At times, it would challenge your own thoughts and ideas.

At times, it would strengthen your own thoughts and ideas.

At other times it would even inspire you to find other ways and forces you to think even more deeply at certain things

Evil is not the normal state of any beings. Just an understanding of it differs.

Even some who dislike communal things would rather be left alone then do evil. And there is nothing eviller than war.

But rulers and leaders always find a way to justify war.

And people also sometimes wanted war.

In the case of Pandemonium, the war begins peacefully. In the beginning the world simply said it is a political conflict.

Even when Wang Jian brough soldiers to the capital, some people believe it is still manageable. Because there was no one that has been killed.

This political conflict while intense, did not yet reach a turning point

The turning point is when the first killing happen.

And once a killing begins.... This does not stop.

Instead, it is getting worse.

Kingdoms and countries in Pandemonium continent that is in Sasha side is waging war on behalf of the Central Government

Those kingdoms and countries that sided with Wang Jian wage war with the force so the Central Government.

By now, who is right and who is wrong is no longer important.

Right now, whoever wins....they would be right. When they win, they have the power to present their version of the story to Death Monarch

So, wanting to win, they kill.

But not one person notices something wrong with one matter

The energy of the world. Pandemonium hoisted many great warriors of the world. Powerful men and women who had reached Disk Formation would sail the seas and goes to Pandemonium. Pandemonium has many laws but it is also orderly.

Here, people could trust that the law would be upheld. Because the government have the power to upheld the laws

And those who holds power dares not abuse it wily nily because the one watching over them is a godlike being.

And these people also participated in tis war. After all, for these powerful people, they too seek power and they too seek powerful rival and they want to use their strength

Some become mercenaries, some become soldiers and commanders in armies. Some joins the armies of the Three Great Generals and some sell their service to the central court.

And when they fight, they killed each other.

When they die, their energies return back to heaven and earth.

And so, one should notice that as many and many more people killed, the energy concentration should become even thicker in places filled with such battle between powerful people.

But this time, as more and more people killed, the energy did not disperse. But who could notice this?

Who could notice this subtle energy that is hovering between heaven and earth?

Even Divine Comprehension beings would find it hard to notice this

What is happening to these energies?

After the Fall, when someone dies, completely dies, their energies would not suddenly disperse. Instead, it would return back to the world.

The energies that are in their bodies returns back to the world, Integrated back in the heaven and earth.

This is the law and rule of this new world.

Why was after Death Monarch break through to Essence Formation, there is a lack of breakthrough among the people of the world?

The numbers itself is negligible.

But some people had notice.

No one knows this better than Azief himself.

When he broke through, he took the energy of heaven and earth in massive amounts.

Why was his cause and effect tied tightly with Earth?

Because he had used the fortune and luck of heaven and earth to break through

This is inevitable.

His breakthrough cut off the path of breakthrough for other people.

They have to wait.

In order.

It is the same reason why Sovereigns only come every one hundred years. Sometimes more.

In other planet and in other star system, if they had used the same method as the Sovereign in Earth had done, each Sovereign would take probably million of years or even trillion of years and eons to produce another Sovereign.

The only reason why it only took one hundred years is because the All Source is on Earth providing the energy and replenishing the energy of heaven and earth but also because the calamity that was about to befell Earth

As ground zero of the Battle of the End, fortune and luck favours Earth because of the calamity it is about to endure.

There is a term called backlash of luck.

Since there is a backlash of luck, there is also a backlash of misfortune.

Since the misfortune that Earth is about to endure is truly catastrophic, every fortune and luck would come to Earth.

And in those seven hundred years give or take, there is Seven Sovereigns taking the luck and fortune of the world

And they all have to pay.

The battle for the Heaven Will during the time of the Seven Sovereign is also because they try to break through some barrier.

When one takes a fortune, they are entangled in cause and effect and fortune and luck

Hence, Azief could not just run away to other side of the Omniverse and not care about Earth. Running away would not solve the problem.

When a person dies, their energies is released back. But not one person notices that as so many people had died in Pandemonium, their energies did not integrate into heaven and earth.

Instead, it is accumulating. Not only energies but also emotions.

Resentment, a feeling that could not affect the natural world is now slowly accumulating. Naturally that is.

But there’s nothing natural about this world anymore. Or to be more exact, the very meaning of natural had changed.

Certain things that are natural before are no longer natural in this world.

A new nature and a new norms

Resentment building up, emotions and wishes coagulated, creating the tribulation.
