The Undying Divine Lord ignored Tian Zi's shouting. Clutching his head with both hands, he looked at Li Xuan and panted, saying, "You're a senior, you're a Dao Ancestor. I, Undying, am only taking back what I arranged. What have I done wrong?
"Even if I truly can't return to Taihao, that's my affair. If I fail so thoroughly, I can accept it. At worst, I'll scheme again and make another arrangement. That's all. How could I, Undying, lose heart over one setback?
"Before this, I already failed twice. I'm unwilling to accept this failure. I'm unwilling! You're a senior, you're a Dao Ancestor. Why make things difficult for a junior like me, a weakling like me!"
Though the Undying Divine Lord looked nearly broken, no matter how furious and unwilling he was inside, he still didn't dare vent his anger at Li Xuan. Instead, he spoke with a face twisted in pain.
The might of a Dao Ancestor had been etched into his very bones when the Chi Ni King was crushed into nothingness. No matter how unwilling or furious he was, he didn't dare glare angrily or lose his temper. He could only suffer and torment himself!
Li Xuan looked over. "This Dao Ancestor acts according to fate. Since I have traveled through this world and preached the Dao here, how could I simply let it be destroyed? What if you're unwilling? That is simply how the weak are."
The Undying Divine Lord clutched his head with both hands and crouched down, saying in anguish, "Is it because I, Undying, am too weak? Can the strong do whatever they want?"
There had been a time when he never imagined that he would utter such words himself.
"That's right. True power means being able to do whatever one wants!"
