After setting up camp to wait for their food supplies to be restocked, the Molak Family finally began their journey once more.
But the more cities they passed, the more troubled their expressions became.
It seemed the impending war was already having a devastating effect on the Mortal Realm.
Food prices had skyrocketed, and worse still, food availability was becoming almost nonexistent.
Some members of the Molak Family wanted to offer help and distribute food to the starving citizens, but the Ancestor and the elders stopped them.
The same was true for the other families, kingdoms, and organizations allied with them.
As they traveled, they saw thin children with hollow eyes and starving adults.

Sometimes, all it took was a piece of moldy bread or half-cooked rice.
They felt pity for the people.
