Yawgmoth recounted his plan to the Ninth Martial God like this.
"The Seventh Martial God nearly drained the entire Jianghu of resources, but still failed. Do you know how great a blow this was to the Path of Chivalry? At that time, the whole Jianghu began to darken, and countless Heroes chose to give up. It rose with such momentum, and collapsed with such turbulence—however, the Seventh Martial God ultimately fell short. He had been victorious, right up until the point where the troop organization could no longer sustain him."
