"Based on the current information, it is clear that the 'Source' did not achieve victory in this war, but neither did they lose." The interstellar world Shen Yu shared the intelligence gathered during this time once more, "After destroying many of the All Heavens Forces and heavily injuring the Five Major All Heavens Forces, both the Five Major Forces and the 'Source' disappeared almost simultaneously. We speculate that the Five Major Forces faced a massive crisis, unable to endure such intense levels of war, leading to their decision to flee, with the 'Source' pursuing them. As for why it wasn't the other way around... we can find causal traces related to the Source, but the causal traces of the Five Major Forces have been forcibly erased."
Clearly, the group that needed to flee was also the one that truly needed to erase their causal traces to avoid pursuit.
But this provided the Association with a great advantage.
