The aged Ji Xiong, sensing the end of his life approaching, silently left the Evil City. From then on, he and the Dragon Ring, which symbolized imperial authority, both disappeared without a trace.
The Evil City fell into chaos due to the loss of its supreme ruler, a chaos that lasted for over two hundred years. Over time, various factions gradually realized that if they wanted to survive in a place like the Loma Ancient Road, they had to unite, or else their conflicts would never see a victor.
In the end, all parties laid down arms, shook hands, and elected the first Grand Priest of the Evil City, allowing the Grand Priest to temporarily take over the City Lord's responsibilities to manage the Evil City. Although the position of Grand Priest in the Evil City has changed hands several times, and each Grand Priest has held supreme power, deciding life and death, everyone knew that only the City Lord was the sole and eternal deity of the Evil City.
