Half a year slipped by swiftly, and since the outbreak of war between the Mystical Mechanism and the Abyss, there hasn't been a period as peaceful and harmonious as this.
Both the Mystical Mechanism Continent and the Abyss Continent were unusually quiet. Although skirmishes still occurred on the front lines, they were confined to small-scale battles between players and Abyss Cultivators, with no appearance of high-level combat power.
The players also sensed the change in the atmosphere. Though they were not privy to the truth, perceptive tacticians among them sniffed out the brewing storm.
Thus, many predicted on forums that both sides were likely in a phase of gathering strength. Although the current peace seemed stable, when the real war erupted, it would probably mean the decisive moment had arrived.
Over the span of half a year, a massive number of high-level players withdrew from the front lines and began focusing on tasks issued by Boss Liang.
