Another year had almost passed.
In the year 99 of the Datong New Calendar, 2156 of the Federation era,
the Lifeless Sect and the followers of Daojun were at odds, with the media of the Tianhe Federation engaging mostly in verbal battles.
It was a magical year that all citizens witnessed, but also an uneasy one.
Anyone with a bit of insight realized that the Federation might be facing a serious problem.
Meanwhile, the Lifeless Sect and the followers of Daojun had developed to a certain extent.
In terms of sect development, naturally, the Lifeless Sect was faring better.
The Lifeless Sect had a complete developmental process for a sect and was, by all accounts, a bona fide religion.
Moreover, with Divine Arts having genuinely done some good, there was no shortage of believers.
Yet the followers of Daojun, coerced and cajoled, were not falling behind, and in fact, there were even more of them.
This was still the case even though the Lifeless Sect might have saved some of them.
