"For what else have we fought if not for their freedom, against the countless damned courts? Those pauper emperors who cannot even match a candle to the Jade Emperor of the True Heavenly Court! We will save them… we can save them… but, it will cost our lives. Do you all believe?" The lord who sat at the throne rose to his feet, "If you do not wish to, I will not force you."
Those Twelve Elder's agreed unanimously and began to ritual the next day.
Hundreds of thousands of people of the Divine Shou Clan gathered by the gate, awaiting for it to open as their elder's had said it would, and try their best to escape, as many of them as they could.
