After the war and changes in leadership a few months passed as the Lycoris Kingdom progressed rapidly in strength. This was mostly due to the large influx of new members but also because the southern continent had finally begun to change drastically with the introduction of large spirit stone mines and other new natural resources. Of course usually such natural resources would need a few years at least to mature but with Lucius and Delilah working in tandem to create formations to help facilitate the growth of the various natural treasures, the time taken was no longer an issue. Now that the entire continent was under the banner of Lycoris their forces had become strong enough to battle toe-to-toe with another continent however, the higher ups were still not at the level to beat a Soul Ascension cultivator, even if they had merely a tenth of the strength of a Soul Ascension cultivator from a higher ranked world.
