The shocking news quickly spread throughout Darsia and the entire nation was in uproar with fervent hearts. 140 million citizens took to the streets, cheering and celebrating.
“Alone, favonovel.com vanquished the top Onmyoji of Sakurasom! And favonovel.com even made the President of Sakurasom kneel to see them off!”
“Decades ago, our land was once engulfed in flames of war. Today, a Darsian has vanquished Sakurasom, this is the grace of Darsia. My grandfather can finally rest in peace!”
“We’re going to the border too, we want to welcome the great hero back home!”
“Remus, the name comes into my mind suddenly. People are truly diverse. He held himself in high regard, relying on his martial prowess, even opposing the Cabinet, making favonovel.com a traitor. And this great hero, we still don’t know his name, but favonovel.com has dominated Sakurasom all by himself. The contrast between the two is like night and day!”
“No, that wretched Remus is simply undeserving to be compared to our great hero of Darsia!”
“Let’s go welcome the great hero!”

On the other side, Sakurasom resounded with walls and cries.
“Our city has been devastated, our best Onmyoji killed. Our President was brought to his knees… Ahh…”
“As a citizen of Sakurasom, my dignity was trampled over and over again by that Darsian. I shall kill myself!”
“What should we do? What about our nation? Let’s surrender, let’s join Darsia!”
In the midst of the citizens’ wails, a voice reverberated in the air.
“Sakurasom must not be disgraced, our land must not be trampled upon! All intruders shall be annihilated! Anyone who dares to trespass on our land will be eradicated! The President is deposed, long live the imperial reign!”
“Today, I, Emperor Darius, stand prepared to sacrifice my own flesh and blood to vanquish the intruder! Whether at the Darsia border or in pursuit to the ends of the earth, that Darsian must be eliminated!”
The one who stood up is none other than the 19th generation Emperor of Sakurasom, Emperor Darius.
In Sakurasom, the Emperor held a ceremonial title, devoid of any substantial authority. He merely served as a symbolic figure.
Emperor Darius felt it was the time to emerge and reclaim the rightful imperial authority, restoring the monarchy!
In the darkest hour of despair, a shout from the Emperor had ignited the people’s determination. The people of Sakurasom cheered in unison. Tens of thousands of people flooded the streets to support Emperor Darius.
Emperor Darius commanded, “In the name of the Emperor, I order the people of Sakurasom! All upper-level ninjas, heavyweight sumo wrestlers, high-ranking warriors, practitioners of illusion, and cultivators at the Training Stage or higher, immediately head to the nearest airport and pursue by air! Even to the ends of the earth, we will not stop until the end!”
With that command, all the cultivators equivalent to Top Grandmasters in Sakurasom rushed toward the airport.

Then, the war aircraft departed. One by one, fifty aircraft departed from the runway.
The entire nation’s military force was in full pursuit of Remus Cosby.
