With the beginning of the Profane Prince's reign, the world soon fell into a deathly silence.
And how could it not? With the disastrous defeat they suffered, the Barbarian Khans and chieftains all lost a tremendous amount of power, forcing them to restructure their domains and reassign resources to the training of new forces.
Meanwhile, within the Celestial Church, Anatol gathered all the church's merit reserves to prepare the grand summoning ritual that would allow him to bring higher realm devas onto the mortal world.
At the same time, to make up for their merit loss, under Gulistan's lead, the Serkar ruled Infernal Cult kidnapped five-hundred million of the most devout barbarian citizens and offered them in sacrifice to the Eastern King of Hell, the Lord of Blood: Ashara.
Then, they captured another five-hundred million, and this time offered them to the Western King of Hell, the Lord of Souls: Urzul.
