Time continued on and gradually the Machine Empire pushed further south just as Mei had figured. Three years had passed and the fight was becoming harder. The machine empire was not an easy foe. The guerilla tactics she had come up with were not working anymore and many young lives were lost. Mei wished she could pull everyone under the nascent soul realm back but with the sheer number of the machine race, there was no way to do so. Mei herself with a few immortals kept going east to west doing everything they could to block the machine races advancement if only by a little. Grandpa Mu and Tang Guanting also tried their best.
