Although Lorrain and the others have now become divine-level experts, they are still old, and human lifespan is limited. What they practice is merely ordinary fighting spirit and magic techniques, which don't contribute much to extending their lifespan. Although their strength has increased their lifespan somewhat, it pales in comparison to the taoism practices specifically aimed at nurturing health and extending life.
Galen and the others are Zhao Hai's family. Back when Zhao Hai was on Earth, he didn't have much family, and he never felt the warmth of home. However, upon arriving at the Ark Continent, Galen and the others made him feel the warmth of a family and gave him a sense of home.
Zhao Hai cherishes this feeling deeply, so whenever there is something good, the first thing he thinks of is his family; whenever there is a benefit, he first thinks of his clan.
In the past, Zhao Hai would eat well while ensuring the rest of the family didn't go hungry, but now things are different. He is the clan leader, and his space holds several people from different continents, so he has to be responsible for them. Therefore, Zhao Hai is now more utilitarian in his actions; to achieve his goals, he can resort to any means necessary.
Zhao Hai sat in the living room, calmly watching the screen that displayed the dusty Lion Mountain. He knew that the people of the Lion Continent would soon find out what was happening at Lion Mountain. Such a big commotion could not be hidden from them.
Now, Zhao Hai just wanted to see the reaction from the Lion Continent. He was very clear that the reaction from the Lion Continent would probably not be too intense, at least not as strong as that from the Central Continent.
The chaos on the Central Continent was primarily due to Zhao Hai having slaughtered the royal family there. The Central Continent could be said to be leaderless, with no one capable of suppressing the chaos. Under such circumstances, it was no surprise that they descended into disorder.
Indeed, as Zhao Hai had anticipated, the Lion Continent was now completely in chaos. The emotions of ordinary people there had been off for several days; they felt that as members of the divine race, being defeated by people from the Ark Continent was a great loss of face.
Additionally, for many years, the Heavenly Palace had been touted as the spiritual pillar of the divine race, and many divine race members regarded it as a sacred land. Now that the sacred land was destroyed, how could they withstand it?
Moreover, the sacred land of the Lion Clan, Lion Mountain, was also destroyed, and soon it spread that all the remains of their ancestors there had been turned into undead beings. In an instant, the entire Lion Continent erupted.
Although the chaos on the Lion Continent was somewhat smaller than that on the Central Continent, the degree of turmoil exceeded Zhao Hai's expectations.
Not only did it surpass Zhao Hai's imagination, but it also exceeded the expectations of the people on the Lion Continent. Various fights began to occur frequently among the commoners. Assaults and arson appeared from time to time, and soon chaos broke out within the military as well. This chaos rapidly escalated and grew larger until it reached a point of being uncontrollable.
However, the chaos on the Lion Continent was somewhat different from that on the Central Continent. The chaos on the Central Continent was a complete loss of rationality among the people, but the chaos on the Lion Continent was an eruption of long-suppressed emotions.
The divine race was too proud; their arrogance exceeded Zhao Hai's imagination. In their view, being attacked by Zhao Hai and having the Heavenly Palace breached, followed by the attack on Lion Mountain, was a complete reflection of the incompetence of the ruling class and the greatest insult to the divine race. Now that they couldn’t find Zhao Hai, they could only vent their frustrations in this way.
What was most terrifying was that this emotion was not limited to the commoners; many soldiers in the military felt the same. This is why the chaos on the Lion Continent spiraled out of control.
