Battle of Ruism

The Battle of Ruism was a series of skirmishes fought by Ruism against the forces of Nine Serenities and Ancient Heavenly Court in November 2019.

Due to the Changing Heaven, Ruism planned to shun the world and migrated into the Golden Lotus World. As part of the migration plan, Ruism tried to transfer Ancient Heavenly Court fragments into the Golden Lotus World but unable to do so since the Golden Lotus World rejected the fragments. Ruism invited Tyrant Song over to help them solving the problem.

Heavenly Emperor has started to gather Ancient Heavenly Court fragments from All Heavens and Myriad Realms. As Ruism has obtained the largest quantity of the fragments, Heavenly Emperor seeks to recover them before the fragments completely transferred into the Golden Lotus World.

Eighth Nine Serenities Ruler has assembled another task force to attack Ruism.

## Fourth Skirmish: Ruism vs Nine Serenities

— **You’re Busy T233 to Tyrant Song**

An attack force led by Fat Ball’s doppelgänger was heading for Ruism before it was intercepted by Tyrant Song. Each member of the attack force was powerful enough to destroy a world.

“*Now, come and bite me.*„
— **Ruler Fat Ball to Tyrant Song**

While White Two’s main body was prevented by Fat Ball’s main body from assisting Tyrant Song, Fat Ball’s doppelgänger easily captured Tyrant Song and beheaded him.
