All across the Nine Realms, daybreak was happening. Although the conscious of the Stairway did not like having the same time frame across the Nine Mortal Realms, Demon Realm, and the Heavenly Realm.
She decided that during the War it would happen. Some days shorten to help it equal, while others had longer nights. Once the time had equalled out across the Realms she spoke to everyone.
"Prepare yourselves Mortals, Demons, Heavenly Cultivators for the time to begin War is at hand. I am the true conscious of the Stairway.
The First and Second Mortal Realm will be safe because I am draining all Qi from those Realms. If Cultivators wish to cultivate and gain strength, I will grant them the Qi to grow stronger and the ability to just advance into the next Realm without issues.
People will die, I will cry. People will survive for a day and I will celebrate. I will say this because it is true. The Third and Fourth Mortal Realms are well protected. Once we hit the Fifth Mortal Realm is where the trouble starts with us.
The Demon Realm is preparing themselves nicely. I would bet if they were not just one Realm, each of them would truly prove themselves within the War.
I have to thank Lilith a Soul Mate to our MC Rex in the Mortal Realms. She has not only gotten the Demon Realm prepared but she will be leading the charge into the War on their front.
Now I need to thank Rex our MC, who has not only gotten powerful women by his side. He has also gotten the Third and Fourth Realms well protected.
As for everyone else, Remember my words earlier. I will cry when you die. I will celebrate when you survive for a day. Let the enemy know that they have truly offended not only me but everyone single one of you for daring to bare their fangs at us."
People throughout all of the Realms, cheered and celebrated for the Stairway. A few people truly knew who Rex was but most of them did not and cheered anyways for him.
As for him, he was being forced to drink a celebration drink even before the War started with Frulen, Granter, and Iris.
As the sun appeared on the horizon. A crack appeared and the beginning of the War had started then and there.
While the Stairway was talking
"My people, The Shadows of whom have died and resurrected. Today, we mark the beginning of a new Conquest. I am sorry to say this but it seems that a powerful entity has slowed down time in the place we want to conquer.
I want to apologize for the deaths that will happen. I did not think it would happen like this.
However, where there is death we gain new armies. By the time we have lost our first battle. We win the second and third and tenth battles."
Cheers erupted from the armies.
"Today is the day that the cracks open where we want to go next. Conquest does not happen like most people think.
However, today we do not believe in lost because of the first day in which we will lose thousands upon thousands.
We believe in the tomorrow in which our armies will be rebuilt and better suited for the War in which we are conquering."
The armies began to march in place.
"TODAY WE WILL WIN THE FINAL BATTLE BY LOSING THE FIRST! NOW LET ME HEAR THE ROAR OF OUR PEOPLE!"
The crowd cheered for the army leaving and the army prepared themselves accordingly.
"Now is the time to ensure that you have nothing else left to do. We have five minutes before marching and flying our way into enemy territory."
The two children from the other day made their presence known once again. The current Shadow King smiled as they hugged their father.
He too wished that he could have had a loving family like the soldier. He took a mental note of him to ensure that if he survives. He becomes someone in a high enough position not to worry about trival things and can spend time with his children.
Once the children left only thirty seconds remained. The current Shadow Kikg ripped open the tear into which they were trying to invade.
Once the Shadow People inside the Realms felt the tear happen. They too opened their portals to let the War start.
The tears appeared in all of the Realms at the same time. However no one advanced in the army until the Shadow People within the Realms told the current Shadow King that each Realm was indeed open.
"Armies, Forward into Battle!"
The armies charged forward. The footsoldiers running into battle, anyone flying flew into the cracks, the most powerful of Shadow People followed in the backlines.
The Stairway conscious tried her best to ensure that the War was evenly matched. She knew it was not truly possible but was able to ensure that no one could interfere with the most powerful in the Heavenly Realms.
People charged ready for battle. Luna flew already able to not kill but force the Shadow People into captivity. The Spider Queen Death already had caught most of her army within her web to ensure that those do not rejoin the war.
As for Seraphina, she smiled as the Shadow People realized that it was either true death or just reincarnate into another true death or death situation.
Five out of the Nine Mortal Realms were already secured without lifting a finger against another battle.
