Day by day, Zhao Guang occasionally came to the territory to get to know the situation.

The southern battles continued to drag on, remaining at a stalemate.

Because Zhao Guang released a large amount of various medicines, not only could they support the Borick Continent there, but they also maintained the war here. The various plague methods used by the Evil Gods and Undead Professionals were essentially rendered useless.

As long as they couldn't affect the populace and army on a large scale, many of their methods lost effectiveness.

The Temple's foundation gradually began to reveal itself; although the Evil God Temple had developed over many years and was not weak, it was still far from being comparable to the openly developed Temple.

In fact, many who were originally disapproving of the higher-ups hid away without coming out.

These people are not lacking in strength and ability; on the contrary, their power is not weak.

Now, opposing the Evil God Temple, these people gradually emerged. With their strength, the people on the Evil God Temple's side were defeated. After the war had dragged on for so long, with the Temple's manic attacks, the opposition finally collapsed.

The Evil God Temple used a large number of manpower, even trying to win over the Undead Professionals, but to no avail.

When the losses became too great, the Undead Professionals severed their alliance with the Evil God Temple.

Through some divine-level communication, the Undead System once again reached an agreement with the Order Temple Alliance. They gave up on advancing and retreating together with the Evil God Temple, but demanded a piece of land for themselves.

Thus, the area originally known as the City of Death was left for them.

With these people here, the three powerful Empires were naturally watchful and not allowing them to expand.

And their presence here was also a threat to the three Empires. The more difficult it was, the easier it was for the faith in the Divine to spread, all considered by themselves.

The people of the three Empires, although enraged, were helpless.

They could only focus their armies on dealing with the Undead Professionals, abandoning their efforts against the Evil God Temple.

Although there were many protests from the Temple's side, everyone knew what was going on. Trying to calculate us while expecting us to wholeheartedly help was a joke.

Thus, the military alliance split, and the Temple had to independently resist the Evil God Temple.

But they were originally the main force; without the help of the Undead Professionals, their pressure was actually lighter.

Zhao Guang, on the other hand, faced dissatisfaction from the giant dragons recently, as in such circumstances, they couldn't continue large-scale offensives against the Undead Professionals. Those guys were not weak and couldn't be easily dealt with.

As long as the Undead Professionals didn't actively cause trouble for the Xuanwu Kingdom, Zhao Guang couldn't act on his own.

Acting on his own could easily eliminate them, but would offend the divine beings of the Death faction.

Most crucially, eliminating them on his own would indirectly help the Temple eliminate a problem. After comprehensive consideration, in the end, Sephidya had to suppress the dragons to prevent them from causing trouble.

Some time later, when Zhao Guang was extremely busy, he finally noticed changes in the war on the Temple's side.

The heavily damaged Evil God Temple suddenly crumbled from within, and somehow the Temple managed to incite part of them to rebel.

With the information provided by these guides, the Temple Alliance army broke through the Evil God Empire's defenses and entered their territory. At this moment, the Evil God Empire's defenses finally started to collapse.

The Evil God Temple was inherently unpopular and acted too extremely.

With the short occupation period, many vested interests were still present, and they naturally wanted to resist the Evil God Temple.

After infiltrating, the Evil God Temple began to crumble as a whole and at an increasingly rapid pace.

Subsequently, the followers of the Evil Gods unleashed themselves. Original means that weren't easily used were all let loose. Internally, people were sacrificed and transformed in waves.

In summary, within the Evil God Empire, chaos reigned.

"Although I knew they'd do something like this early on, I didn't expect them to prepare so much in advance. It's really..."

Zhao Guang didn't even know how to describe their actions. Previous disguises were finally shattered. This time, the Order Temple didn't fully aid the populace but focused on striking the Evil God followers.

To the Temple's people, those transformed into monsters were considered fallen and should simply be eradicated.

"After this war, it seems the population on the Evil God Empire's side won't be much left."

Zhao Guang nodded: "Indeed, it's too wasteful."

Previously, Zhao Guang was troubled by population shortages, while the south was nearly undergoing a massacre. If this event ends, how many people would be left there?

"New news from the Temple indicates their management model over there is a bit too extreme."

Zhao Guang looked at the information and found the Temple's new management model for the new populace wasn't as gentle as before. This could be considered military rule, no, it's stricter than normal military rule.

Even the slightest issue, or suspicion of someone having ties with the Evil God's followers, could lead to arrest and interrogation.

If anyone behaved slightly out of line, they might end up on the burning stake.

In summary, it couldn't be described as a living hell anymore.

The populace was also bewildered; the Temple people were once very gentle with them, so how did things change in such a short time? The only issue was they were once ruled by the Evil God Temple.

So, everyone blamed the Evil God Temple, almost everyone's thought.

They seemed to have forgotten that many among them secretly worked for the Evil God Temple back then. As for no problems being discovered, that was almost impossible; such a large-scale organization couldn't not leak any information.

It was precisely due to their collective involvement that allowed the Evil God Temple to occupy this place.

Now, they are like snowflakes in an avalanche, each believing themselves innocent.

But Zhao Guang had no intention of dealing with things over there.

"Let's wait until the Temple has resolved things over there. We'll just follow the flow with others. If there are benefits, we'll take some; if not, then so be it. After all, we lack nothing ourselves."

They lack nothing, but the populace lacks opportunities, this being a welfare for the people under their command.

Xi Fei nodded, indicating understanding. As the war reached its conclusion, their work was also about to get busy.
