The grand court assembly dispersed, and Lu Qian and Lu Tai headed straight back to Baima District.
On the way, Lu Qian asked Lu Tai, “The supreme chancellor and their great military expedition—are they definitely going to be defeated?”
Lu Tai nodded and answered, “Yes, their defeat is certain.”
Lu Qian nodded silently, saying nothing.
This was the ‘Great Strife War,’ launched and unveiled by the Great Vajra Temple, a combined effort of the three Buddhist sects, three temples, and three meditation forests.
They were fighting over the fate of Dayin.
They fought for the spirit and mechanism of Heaven and Earth.
They fought for the Great Way of immortality.
They fought for the chance at eternal life.
In the ancient times, the spirit of Heaven and Earth in this realm was shattered, the path to immortality severed, and no one could achieve eternal life anymore.
But now, the power that broke apart the spirit realm of this world had vanished, and Heaven and Earth had sensed it—slowly, the spirit mechanism of Heaven and Earth was recovering.
You could imagine the world as a giant beast that had nearly been sliced in two.
Now, life was stirring, and the wounds were gradually healing on their own.
