NPCs, players, Zhou Tian, and the Human Emperor supported by a deity.
After most of the neutral forces were annexed by Zhou Tian and his group, the relationship between Zhou Tian and those forces naturally underwent some changes at that stage.
Originally, the NPCs were united with the Human Emperor to combat Zhou Tian. However, with the assistance of the deities, the Human Emperor annexed more territories than Zhou Tian, and eventually, his strength almost equaled that of Zhou Tian. At that time, the relationship between the Human Emperor and the NPCs inevitably suffered some impact.
