Magic Continent was shocked—
Although the process wasn't on the scale of a god battle, the fall of a True God in this battle was a fact, and moreover, all the Death type True Gods kept silent about it.
Despite frequent competition among the Death type True Gods, the sudden death of a peer startled them, and they actively pursued the origins of Zheng Yichen, eventually confirming that he was related to Dusk.
Considering the special nature of the Dusk Territory, every True God knew about it. To think he came from Dusk made it somewhat understandable... or not.
Even emerging from Dusk shouldn't make it so, since ancient times, hadn't god battles always ground participants to their limits?
How often did a Demigod, or non-Demigod, achieve God-slaying? Moreover, once it occurred, other True Gods would seal any leaks...
Or perhaps it meant that the True God wished to die, aiding the Godslayer.
