Clearly, rather than letting the Three Pure Ones attain Enlightenment of the Dao to repay this debt of Cause and Effect, the Primordial Heavenly Dao preferred to have them attain the Fruit Status of Heavenly Dao Sages!
The Three Pure Ones were getting the short end of the stick—and losing far more than they knew.
