Chapter 909: Expel
The war between the Human Race and the Star Spirit Clan proceeded smoothly.
Due to Divine Emperor Mo Xing's defection, the Star Spirit Clan had already been deeply fractured. Later on, when the Astral Lord Council took full control, many Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs left the Star Spirit territory altogether and began wandering the Astral World.
Those who stayed behind only pretended to submit. They followed orders on the surface but secretly disobeyed.
Given enough time, the Astral Lord Council could have dealt with these uncooperative Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs one by one. But the Council collapsed far too quickly.
In such a situation, when the Human Race launched a major offensive, most of the Heavenly Emperors chose to stand aside. They watched as the Council's Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs were cut down by Emperor Xi and the others.
Of course, a few Heavenly Emperors still chose to stand up for their race, setting aside old grudges to fight alongside the Council. But they were only a rare minority.
If there had been a chance of victory, many Heavenly Emperors might have been willing to join in for their own benefit. But with the Star Spirit Clan already heavily weakened, there was no hope of stopping the Human Race's advance.
As a result, the Star Spirit Clan suffered defeat after defeat.
By the middle stages of the war, some of their Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs had already chosen to surrender. They brought along their clans and sects, pledging loyalty to the Human Race.
Just like the Golden Emperor Clan and other similar factions, they became vassals under the Human Race.
Considering that Li Pin was about to transcend, the more aggressive factions within the Human Race slightly adjusted their strategy and accepted these defections.
With that, the remaining Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs saw no hope of victory and lost all desire to fight to the end.
