Moreover, the quality of the people's lives was becoming increasingly worse.
Following this trend, the West Continent Alliance was bound to crumble.
Perhaps, the Tiaoman Empire wouldn't be doomed by this turmoil, but without the West Continent Alliance, the Tiaoman Empire would also lose its qualifications for supremacy.
By its own strength, the Tiaoman Empire could at best be considered a second-rate power.
After the fall of the West Continent Alliance, the grand endeavor of unifying the West Continent and Western civilization would certainly come to an abrupt halt, and then the many second- and third-rate countries on the West Continent would become tools in the hands of the superpowers, and the Tiaoman Empire, as the leading power on the West Continent, wouldn't likely remain unscathed.
This was not fear-mongering!
