Within just a few hours, two faction strongholds were destroyed—one belonging to Sunrise Gate, and oddly enough, the other was a spontaneous decision made by a group of Lady Pastors under the leadership of a newly promoted Priest.
This was a signal, as well as an alarm bell, signifying that the absolute peace within Main God Space had been broken. Although private fights were prohibited by the system, conflicts that conformed to the rules could be carried out openly and aboveboard.
Mid-sized and small sects felt a growing sense of crisis and had no choice but to allocate a portion of their treasury funds to exchange for some defense facilities and fortifications.
Even major sects, when constructing their faction strongholds, no longer sought only beauty and grandeur but also had to consider defense capabilities and so on.
Of course, these are all matters for later.
