After paying a heavy price, the Feathered Clan, despite their best efforts, managed to keep the battlefield outside their borders and prevent the flames of war from spreading into their territory.
On the main battlefield, facing the constant attacks of the allied forces of a hundred races led by the orcs and demons, large numbers of winged warriors and winged powerhouses died every moment on the meat grinder-like battlefield.
The casualties inflicted on the enemy by these winged warriors at the cost of their lives were only effective against a few scattered warriors in the Hundred Races Alliance, and occasionally the strongmen of the demon race and beastman race were killed by the winged warriors.
The winged race suffered the most casualties from a few groups whose birth rate was almost as fast as their killing rate. This was because their population was so large that they couldn't even afford to eat. In addition, the orc race had been in a bad situation in recent years, with a large number of their people starving to death every year.
Aside from these few orc races that were used as cannon fodder by the raging winds, which not only caused some losses to the Feathered Race but also significantly reduced their population and food consumption, the rest of the orc races were also affected.
The Feathered Clan also inflicted heavy casualties on the countless ferocious beasts driven from the Origin Mountains by the Demon Clan.
However, the massive casualties inflicted on these orc cannon fodder and ferocious beasts by the Feathered Race using their own flesh and blood were completely meaningless.
Furthermore, among these ferocious beasts that the demon race used as cannon fodder to continuously attack the winged race and constantly weaken them, none were particularly powerful.
Those extremely powerful ferocious beasts, or those with certain potential, were all kept by the demon race, who accumulated them to use as a foundation for future use.
After the demonic beasts used as cannon fodder were killed by the Feathered Clan, Nufeng sent people to bring back all the corpses of these ferocious beasts, ensuring their own safety.
Even if none of these ferocious beasts are particularly powerful, they are still full of treasures. After this war, the already impoverished orc race has no desire to give up such readily available resources.
Putting aside everything else, the meat of ferocious beasts alone is a hard currency that can be used as money or food in any race across the entire Tianyuan Continent.
The other races in the Hundred Races Alliance received a small share of the beast carcasses from the orcs, based on the proportion of troops and strong individuals they sent.
Looking at the battlefield, with the orc army constantly advancing towards the Feathered Clan, and considering that none of these ferocious beasts were particularly powerful, they agreed to let the orcs take full responsibility for collecting the corpses of these beasts.
Amidst the ever-changing situation in the western part of the Tianyuan Continent, time began to slip away unnoticed once again.

Chapter Ninety-Two Restrictions
Over the past few decades, while the Feathered Clan and other beings or forces that can enter the Time-Space City have developed rapidly, the Time-Space City itself has fallen into a bottleneck.
Since there were no level restrictions when the invitation to Time City was first issued, and City Lord Xiao Yan was incredibly lucky.
With the help of several powerful individuals whose strength far exceeded expectations, Time City experienced a leapfrog development in its early years.
In the beginning, with the help of two super-rich families, Gai Jiuyou and Ziyin, as well as the entire Feather Clan, they joined.
In a very short period of time, Xiao Yan gathered the 10 billion value points needed to upgrade the Time-Space City to level three.
After Time-Space City was upgraded to level three, Xiao Yan, as the city lord, also had his cultivation level raised to the level of Dou Zong one star, which is the initial stage of the third level of the extraordinary realm.
Upgrading the Time-Space City to level three unlocked another building and correspondingly improved some of Xiao Yan's permissions, along with some new features.
In addition, after upgrading to level three, Time City discovered a new currency unit on top of the existing value points: Spirit Points.
The conversion rate between Spirit Points and Value Points is 1:10000. If Xiao Yan wants to upgrade Time City to level four, he will need to spend 100 million Spirit Points, which is equivalent to the original 1 trillion Value Points.
Furthermore, Spirit Points can be exchanged for Value Points, but Value Points cannot be exchanged for Spirit Points. Only items that have reached Tier 3 in the Time-Space City's evaluation will be purchased by the Time-Space City using Spirit Points.
Furthermore, after the appearance of Spirit Points, some higher-level items or special functions in Time City can only be traded using Spirit Points.
After the initial benefit of issuing invitations, subsequent issuance of invitations in Time City will be limited by the Time City's level.
This restriction does not mean that the Time-Space City can issue invitations to beings whose cultivation level has reached a certain level, based solely on its level.
Rather, it means that in the world where the Time-Space City can issue invitations, there will be no beings whose cultivation level exceeds that of the Time-Space City.
In other words, the invitation issued after reaching level three in the Time-Space City may lead to a world where extraordinary third-tier life forms may exist.
In any case, the invitations issued by Time-Space City will only appear in worlds where the level of the strong is lower than or equal to that of Time-Space City, and it is impossible for them to surpass the level of Time-Space City.
Even now, the Time-Space City has sent invitations to worlds where there are extraordinary third-tier beings.
It remains unknown which being in that world received the invitation, or whether they were a powerful being at the third level of the extraordinary realm.
After Xiao Yan issued the first invitation in Time City, it was as if he had used up all his luck at once.
Of the thousands of invitations to the Time-Space City that were subsequently issued, only a handful were sent to worlds with extraordinary third-tier powerhouses.
As for invitations that are directly sent to extraordinary level three experts, those are extremely rare.
Among the first batch of powerful individuals invited by Time-Space City, there were a few who could bring Time-Space City a large amount of value points.
Aside from trading a large amount of value points when they first entered Time City, their strength is now far too great for the other beings in Time City.
Since there weren't many suitable items available for them within the Time-Space City, they didn't trade much there.
The small amount of spirit points that those beings who can continuously trade within the Time-Space City can bring to Xiao Yan is far from enough to upgrade the Time-Space City to level four.
Due to a combination of factors, Xiao Yan was unable to upgrade Time City to Level 4 over the decades following the initial period of rapid development.
The fact that the Time-Space City was always at level three caused Xiao Yan a great problem: his strength could only remain at the peak of the Half-Saint level, which was the peak of the third level of the Extraordinary Realm in the Time-Space City's ranking system.
Before the spacetime layer is upgraded to level four, Xiao Yan can only maintain his current cultivation level and cannot break through to the Dou Sheng level, reaching the extraordinary level four in the spacetime city's ranking system.
In the now extremely prosperous backyard of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan was holding a little girl of a few years old in his arms, communicating with time and space in his mind.
"Time and Space, when will I finally be able to upgrade Time and Space City to level four?!"
No response from time and space came into Xiao Yan's mind.
Xiao Yan was not surprised by all of this, and he continued to speak.
"I say, Time and Space, you're really useless. If it weren't for that Feather Clan thing, I probably would have already upgraded Time and Space City to level four."
