Hearing Peony's rebuke, Bai Gu's smile visibly froze.
He gave Peony a wry smile and sighed. "Most of the time, I am merely an observer. I cannot do anything, nor can I say anything. Otherwise, it might trigger the collapse of the entire chain of time, causing an even greater disaster. I can only say... I saw this possibility in advance, but the odds of it occurring were minuscule, so I did not pay it much attention."
Peony nodded without saying much.
Bai Gu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone was immediately full of question marks.
Bai Gu, a Grand Beginning Golden Immortal of the Great Dao of Time—why was he so wary of, even somewhat afraid of, a spirit entity with late-stage Heavenly Immortal Realm strength?
Even if Peony was the leader of Mechanical Civilization, Bai Gu should not—at the very least, should not have acted like this.
Yet Bai Gu had done exactly that and had no intention of offering any immortals even the slightest explanation.
Peony walked to Wang Jixuan's body, accepted the handkerchief Amina handed her, carefully wiped the sweat from Wang Jixuan's forehead, and continued considering how to save Daoist Wang.
The others were already thinking about how to have Wang Jixuan resolve this enormous tribulation;
only Peony, Amina, and the other Earth Team members were most concerned about Wang Jixuan's own safety.
That was understandable enough.
The human experts of the Immortal Realm had always possessed a mindset of taking it upon themselves to save the world, and in this regard, their actions truly matched their words.
A vibration came from Jian Wu's sleeve.
She took out a jade talisman, glanced at it a few times, and frowned. "Slaughter God Palace is in urgent danger. We cannot stay here."
"Let's go support them."
