The realm had been reunified. The one to seize the Divine Artifact was the Datong Marquisate, though the "Marquisate" had now been dropped, and it was simply called Datong Country.
The Datong Court and the Chu Kingdom Court learned from their ancestors. They first signed a treaty. For the first twenty years, the Chu Country seized the Liangjiang Region, the True Yang Mountain Region, and Jianglin Road, while the Datong Marquisate preemptively occupied Beiyuan Road, the Shangjing Region, and Qingpu Road. Then, from a commanding position, they fought a decisive battle against the Chu Country's grand army at the Nong River.
On the seventeenth day of the sixth month in the 74th year of the Daoist Palace Calendar, the Datong Marquisate diverted the waters of the Nong River, drowning three hundred thousand of the Chu Country's elite troops. Afterward, they pushed all the way to True Yang Mountain and buried two hundred thousand surrendered Chu soldiers alive.
