Huang and Lan could have greated hundreds of ancient dragons and phoenixes to help the war effort, but instead they spent a million years fighting each other uselessly. Meanwhile the Ink created whole armies of ink clan members, with a hundred royal lords, plus a few ink spiritual gods that even ninth rank human ancestors are powerless against. It very much seems like Huang and Lan want the 3000 worlds to be destroyed. But then again, after observing what kind of scumbags the cave heavens and paradises are, I'd also give up.
