For this reason, the awakening ritual had to succeed, because this Evil God slumbered in a city from the Old Era!
—The city shown in the earlier Illusion was an Old Era metropolis. Perhaps this Evil God, like the three Old Era Demigods who appeared in North Carolina, had been sealed within Divine War Ruins lost to history. The only difference was that It was stronger and in better condition, able to seep Its power outward in search of an opportunity to break free.
If they hadn't used this method to lure It out of its historical seal, obtaining those eyes would have required far more time and effort. Furthermore, it would have caused certain plans to go awry.
The Star Association had clearly been waiting a long time. The moment the Evil God descended, Tang Ling appeared and dragged It into an isolated battlefield, leaving It with nowhere to run. Its only fate was to be captured alive and contained.
Hua Manzhu froze on the spot, unable to even process what had happened.
