After the war in the Shadow Realm, the Nine Realms were in relative calm for a time.
The Dark Court did not stir up any issues, for the battle had consumed much of its strength, and the Lord of the Underworld was preoccupied with restructuring the Hidden Land Realm after his return. He was injured in the fight with the Spear Emperor, Du You, who went crazy and pursued him to fight him, even when he had wanted to stop.
The cultivators of the Evil Emperor Realm were nowhere to be found, as no one had heard from them at all. As for the land of the Nine Realms, they began to set up large teleportation matrixes to connect all major forces to the Empty Imperial Palace.
