Shang had returned to his Isolation Barrier.
Luckily, he didn't need to fight in the war.
One would think that after 6,000 years without Shang, the other Empires would have already pushed the Lightning Manor back into their palace.
However, they didn't need to do that anymore.
Why did the Empires fight against the Lightning Manor that desperately in the first place?
It was because the Lightning Emperor had been so confident in someone that he had staked the Mana of the late Life Emperor in a tournament for Mage Kings while King Sanctified Death still existed.
If the Lightning Manor managed to snatch the Life Emperor's Mana from King Sanctified Death, the Lightning Manor would gain a second Mage Emperor. Together with the already-powerful Lightning Emperor, they would become the rulers of the entire world.
