Zhi Yan, even with Suo Lun's support, ascended to the throne, but as a queen, it was difficult for other nations to acknowledge her. Zhi Li established an exiled government in the Flame Empire, resolutely denying the legitimacy of Zhi Yan's claim to the throne.
Dragon Temple always obstinately adhered to tradition, so Zhi Yan, being a woman on the throne, would certainly not gain the support of the Dragon Temple.
Without the protection of the Dragon Temple, the Flame Empire and the Xiliang Kingdom would undoubtedly seize the opportunity of Rage Wave Kingdom's weakness to plunder it, and Zhi Li just happened to encourage both countries to send troops to Rage Wave Kingdom.
After a series of civil wars, Rage Wave Kingdom was surely no match for the Xiliang Kingdom and the Flame Empire and was destined to face annihilation.
