After witnessing the moment the Heavenly Demon was born, Azure Heaven took Li Qi away from that place.
However...
Li Qi had already entered the game.
How should it be put? Li Qi had already appeared at the very instant of the Heavenly Demon's birth. In other words, when others traced back to this place, they would also encounter Li Qi.
If any dispute arose here, they would encounter Li Qi here as well.
Could Li Qi remain aloof at that point?
Obviously, that was impossible.
Thus, Li Qi had already become involved in this stretch of history, already become a part of it. His true body was even right beside the Heavenly Demon's birth.
Whatever major events occurred here in the future, Li Qi would certainly be unable to extricate himself from them. He would definitely be forced to choose a side.
This was the consequence of being "drawn into history."
To uncover secrets, one could not simply read books or listen to others recount them. To mighty beings, that would inevitably be unreal, and one could never grasp the whole picture that way.
Only by personally arriving at the scene could one truly learn what had happened.
Yet... once you appeared at the scene, you became part of history as well, part of the secret. You naturally joined the development of that history and became one of its background figures.
Then, if something happened here in the future, you would certainly be dragged into it.
The more you knew, the more dangerous it became. The more you participated, the more crises you had to face.
That was why many second-ranks were unwilling to interfere too deeply or learn things too clearly. They had matters of their own to attend to and no desire to waste too much time
