Lin Su fell silent for a moment before asking, "What about the other eighty-one people who carried the Heavenly Dao Green Lamps? Why did they all perish?"

Lin Su nodded. "So, you're saying that Wu is the last Heavenly Dao Avatar?"
Master Yiyao nodded. "That's right. Wu is the last Heavenly Dao Avatar. He is the last hope of the Heavenly Dao."
Lin Su was silent for a moment before asking, "What about you? Are you still a Heavenly Dao Avatar?"
Master Yiyao smiled. "I am not a Heavenly Dao Avatar. I am the Heavenly Dao itself."
Lin Su was taken aback. "You are the Heavenly Dao? But... but you said that the Heavenly Dao is emotionless. How can you be the Heavenly Dao?"
Master Yiyao smiled. "The Heavenly Dao is indeed emotionless. However, the Heavenly Dao can also have emotions. It is just that it does not show them."
Lin Su nodded. "So, you're saying that you are the Heavenly Dao, but you are not showing your emotions?"
Master Yiyao nodded. "That's right. I am the Heavenly Dao, but I am not showing my emotions. I am doing this for the sake of the Heavenly Dao. I am doing this for the sake of the world."
Lin Su was silent for a moment before asking, "What do you mean by 'for the sake of the world'?"
Master Yiyao smiled. "The Heavenly Dao is the fundamental operating law of this world. It is the most basic principle of this world. If the Heavenly Dao collapses, this world will also collapse. I am doing this to prevent the collapse of the Heavenly Dao, to prevent the collapse of this world."

Master Yiyao nodded. "That's right. I am the Heavenly Dao, and I am doing this to prevent the collapse of the Heavenly Dao."
Lin Su was silent for a moment before asking, "What about Wu? What is he doing?"
Master Yiyao sighed. "Wu is also the Heavenly Dao. He is doing this to maintain the balance of the world until you arrive."
Lin Su nodded. "So, you're saying that Wu is also the Heavenly Dao, and he is doing this to maintain the balance of the world until I arrive?"
