Sword God in a World of Magic

The war reached a state of tranquility, and Shang was no longer required on the frontlines.

The border areas between the Lightning Manor and the Judgment Palace were designated as High Mage Zones, allowing the Judgment Palace to utilize their full power in defense.

Since the Judgment Palace had already been completely expelled from the Lightning Manor's territories, there was little for Shang to accomplish there.

He spent a few days focusing on reclaiming some territories from the other two Empires, but they didn't put up much resistance.

It seemed they were not particularly determined to retain these territories for the next 500 years, preferring to let the war settle down for now.

Finally, peace settled upon the world.

Over the course of the next 500 years, many generations of mortals would be born and die, their legends recounting the ancient war that had once ravaged the world for thousands of years.

But the war was truly over, and it would never return.

Yet, this period of ceasefire was only a brief respite for the Empires.

Shang withdrew from the frontlines after ten years of collective fighting, during which he had strategically placed thousands of attack flags.

Shang was likely the sole reason why the Lightning Manor had not been pushed into the northwestern quarter of their Empire.

The rules of the war heavily favored Battle-Strength, and one individual possessing extraordinary Battle-Strength could have a tremendous impact.

Retreating from the frontlines, Shang returned to his Isolation Barrier in the north.
