It was precisely because he knew how perilous the situation before him was that Grand Supreme Elder Lord could only invoke Dao Ancestor Hongjun to shield the four of them from disaster and seek a sliver of life!
Tongtian naturally understood why Taishang had said that.
Because he understood, he was even less willing to let the remaining four Saints off easily.
Tongtian had never intended to wipe them all out. Even if he could, he could not do so!
Discovering the invasion of foreign races in Guixu had filled Tongtian with deep concern for the safety of the entire Primordial Universe.
His killing of Yuanshi was certainly driven by hatred, but it was also because Yuanshi was too selfish and had no bottom line.
If Yuanshi learned of the existence of an invasion from beyond the realm, the first thing he considered might not be the safety of the Primordial Universe, but how to profit from it.
He might even sell out the entire Primordial Universe for his own benefit!
Lord of the Beginning was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
But the other four Saints were different. Grand Supreme Elder Lord definitely could not do it, and neither could Niangniang Nuwa. Zhunti and Jieyin certainly had grand ambitions of their own, but they would not go that far either.
Therefore, teaching the four Saints a lesson was enough. No matter what, they were still Saints of the Primordial Universe. When truly faced with an attack from another domain, they would still be powerful existences capable of standing on their own!
