No Other Choice-We'll Use Ourselves as Collateral!

Several people nodded, all sharing the same thought.

Ever since the dust had settled on the Journey to the West Tribulation, over these past ten thousand years, the presence of the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial Wilderness had indeed been fading at a slow but clearly perceptible pace.

That omnipresent, omnipotent pressure hanging over the heads of sentient beings seemed to be gradually receding.

Though it remained powerful enough to crush everything, its weakening was undeniably real.

They could not see the exact reasons behind it, but this was undoubtedly a good thing.

The weaker the Heavenly Dao became, the greater their chances of breaking free from its shackles.

Besides, everyone knew perfectly well that a battle between the Wu Clan and the Heavenly Dao was inevitable.

Zhou Ming's rise and Pangu Hall's growing strength were themselves the greatest challenge to the supreme authority of the Heavenly Dao.

That battle might well be their best chance to escape the Heavenly Dao's control and sever their Saint Positions.

As their thoughts turned, Taiqing Saint slowly rose from his meditation cushion.

"Since there is nothing else, we shall take our leave."

Primordial Lord Tianzun and Nuwa rose in turn as well.

Before leaving, Taiqing's gaze fell upon Jieyin and Zhunti once more. His calm voice carried a solemnity that could not be ignored.

"You two Fellow Daoists should take care of yourselves and settle the matter of Merit as soon as possible."

"Opportunity will not wait for anyone."

Primordial Lord Tianzun said nothing. He merely cast the two of them a glance, and the meaning in that glance needed no words.

Nuwa nodded slightly as well, offering her final farewell.

Once the words fell, the three figures transformed into streaks of light and vanished from Spirit Mountain without the slightest hesitation.
