Hongyuan's disastrous defeat at the World Fate Arena had repercussions that extended far beyond the situation at Shanhai Pass.
'Celestial Punishment has weakened.'
Deep within the Miasma Abyss, while orchestrating his move against the Human World and the Dragon Hunting Tower, Wu Dao made a sudden discovery. Through his Primordial Sect disciples active in the Hongyuan Heavenly Realms, he learned that the suppressive power of Celestial Punishment within Hongyuan had weakened to a certain degree.
'The Tribulation Qi is rising, and the fortune of the Dao is weakening.'
With a thought, Wu Dao observed the Tribulation Qi festering and swelling within the Dao Veins of Hongyuan's major Celestial Domains, immediately understanding why the Great Dao's suppression had diminished.
A civilizational Dao Tribulation.
It could be understood as an increase in entropy.
