Chapter 859
The Empire had finally given up on its last territory in the new continent, but the heroic assets of the three factions didn't waste time in celebrations just yet .
The detonation of the forest had affected countless human assets on both sides, but no heroic cultivator seemed to care about their well-being as they dived toward the ground .
There was a priceless piece of knowledge hidden under the burning trunks and the vast column of gray smoke that rose from the terrain . The Second Life formation was too powerful to give up on retrieving it just because the Empire had decided to burn everything .
Even a few sets of lines would have great value in the hands of those experts . Reconstructing the entire formation just with them would be impossible, but it was the beginning of a project that could eventually lead to the possibility of cheating death!
However, the Empire had been thorough with its destruction . It didn't leave anything valuable for its enemies to plunder .
The war that had seen the experts of the world fighting to kick the Empire out of the new continent had ended . Yet, the losses on both sides had been so devastating that such outcome barely felt like a triumph .
Many heroic cultivators had died, and the various clashes had required countless resources to provide protection and fight the defensive measures in place . The losses on the human assets had been massive too, which would inevitably lead to slow growth in the following years .
Wars were expensive, and the only ones that could benefit from a victory often were the future generations of cultivators since they would have access to a broader range of resources and territories . Yet, for the current age, the only assets that had gained something were those that had a water aptitude .
The gains of the invaders were a large chunk of territories, the space-rings of the fallen, and the Divine Stele . Also, the experts that had survived the battles had acquired a lot of experience when it came to fighting in the heroic ranks and expressing themselves .
Those heroic cultivators were bound to have a more natural way toward the higher ranks from that point onward . After all, nothing could beat real life-threatening struggles when it came to improving their understanding of themselves .
All of that would take time, but the three organizations weren't in a hurry to chase after the Empire in the old continent .
The Empire had controlled the central areas of the landmass for millennia . No one knew what to expect from the home of a force that had been able to put to use two formations that belonged to myths and legends .
There was even the countless number of slaves that worked to keep its economy running!
Everyone in the invading forces believed that they would have to face stronger opposition in the old continent, but there was no point in attacking now that they were at their weakest .
They had just severed every connection of the Empire from the most valuable landmass of the world . Its growth was bound to stagnate now that they had isolated it back in its original home .
Meanwhile, the three forces could grow and recover from the losses suffered during the war and even aim to surpass their original peak . They had too many possibilities at hand now that they could divide the entirety of the new continent among the three of them .
