The fallen leaves returned to their roots and were buried in peace.
This was a traditional thought that was deeply rooted in the blood of all Great Xia people.
The current location of the statue was still some distance away from the real border. It was obvious that it had retired.
There were two situations in which an icon would retire.
Either there was a new holy statue in the place they were originally guarding, or Great Xia's territory had expanded outward.
However, generally speaking, it was the former.
The reason why they did not bury it and placed it in the wilderness was mainly to let these Martial Saints see that the home they had done everything to protect was still as magnificent as ever.
Even if the Martial Saints could no longer see it.
