Dijun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi fell heavily to the ground, vomiting blood. Dijun struggled to lift his head and surveyed the ruined, ghastly battlefield before him. He gave a bitter laugh and said, "I never imagined it would end in mutual destruction." His voice was heavy with helplessness and bitterness, as if this were the final sigh of the war. At this moment, Dijun looked like a king who had lost everything, his eyes filled with desolation and despair.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly, "Those Wu Clan bastards didn't come out unscathed either. When we meet again, I’ll make sure they pay!" His voice was filled with rage and resentment, as if issuing a final challenge to the Wu Clan. He looked like a wounded beast—though fallen for the moment, his fighting spirit remained unquenched.
On the side of the Wu Clan, Dijiang and the others were also severely wounded, lying on the ground, unable to move. Dijiang gazed at the sky and muttered to himself, "This battle has truly crippled our vitality..." His voice was thick with exhaustion and helplessness, reflecting his deep concern for the future of the Wu Clan. He appeared like a battle-weary general, his heart heavy with grief at the sight of his soldiers' heavy casualties.
