A while ago.
The vast Crystal Plains were occupied by three major forces.
The Nether Source Beetles hidden in subspace revealed a corner of their form from the constantly blooming cracks in the Domain of Void, while the purple-black Thousand-Legged Centipedes crowded together, layer upon layer surging from the earth like a tide.
The two mighty armies were enough to engulf everything on the New Continent, these were indeed the main forces of Phantom Sun and the Abyssal Beast Nation that occupied two-thirds of the New Continent's land.
Compared to this army, the Nightmare Breaking Iron Army led by Yulan, though elite, was at an absolute disadvantage in numbers.
That's why they allied with Yan Sea, who found it difficult to mount a land campaign. The reason their path wasn't a straight line was that they were essentially advancing along a deep underground river, preparing for reinforcements from Yan Sea.
