Martial God never believed that his success represented anything. In some sense, the Martial God was just the Eastern version of the Divine Dragon.
In this world, not everyone was like Chu Feng, who did not take the responsibility of the world on his shoulders; there indeed were Lei Fengs in this world.
The Divine Dragon was, Martial God was too, only their times, locations, and perspectives were all completely different.
Fortunately, Martial God's timely warning had prevented massive casualties among the Eastern samurai. Otherwise, these arrogant samurai from the Eastern might have all become Chu Feng's sharpening stones and stepping stones.
And the power of the Eastern might have dropped more than one level. Even if Martial God won, what significance would it have for the Eastern?
Breaking one generation equated to destroying the Eastern. It took half a century for the Eastern to just catch a breath. Martial God would not allow Chu Feng to destroy half a century of effort.
