The people in the eight desolates and six directions were not too surprised by the announcement.
They would only be surprised if there was no such announcement.
The Dragon Palace was very strong, but it was not to the extent that they would remain silent even after a divine emperor was killed.
Moreover, this was the territory of the eight desolates and six directions.
Even if there was a dispute, the eight desolates still had the geographical advantage.
If the Dragon Palace really accepted the challenge, it would be impossible for them to send all the experts to fight against the eight desolates.
That was because it was too far away.
It would take a few months for even the divine emperor to travel from the imperial star field to the eight desolates and six harmonies.
Moreover, the Dragon Palace had two sworn enemies, the imperial court and the Wizard Association.
