Spring passed and autumn came.
Time always flew by during cultivation. In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.
The Zhongzhou World had been peaceful these past years. Daoist Palace outposts were established one after another, and the worship of the various True Monarchs and Lords was restored. The conflicts between sects were quickly suppressed by the Daoist Palace—at least on the surface.
Across the vast land, barren fields were revitalized. Countless settlements grew and prospered, becoming new villages, towns, and even cities.
Thirty years was also the deadline the Daoist Palace had given the Dukes of Zhongzhou. It was a deadline for them to hand over their power, as only the forces of the Mortal World would be allowed to compete for the Divine Artifact in the future.
「The twentieth day of the fifth month, in the thirtieth year of the Daoist Palace Calendar.」
