As the Nine Empyrean Suns Universe faced its greatest catastrophe since the Great War billions of years ago, the Crimson World experienced a rare period of peace.
After the events on Origin Island, the Freedom Path suffered defeat after defeat across the nine realms of the Tower. The Ancient One had been crippled during his battle with the Scarlet King and was forced to retreat into his stronghold within the Ninth Layer. With their supreme leader in hiding, the Freedom Path no longer had anyone capable of opposing the Demon King directly.
And the Demon King did not hesitate.
He marched relentlessly from battlefield to battlefield, crushing every line of defense and shattering any resistance the Freedom Path tried to organize. Under his command, the forces of the Life Path expanded at an unprecedented speed.
Realm after realm fell.
