The waters of the River of Time surged vast and mighty.
They had witnessed the rise and fall of one era after another.
Until the end of Near Antiquity, when an air of decline and annihilation began to spread. Heaven's Secrets grew obscured, and all things withered.
The end of the epoch was already close at hand.
At this time, Li Wei was almost the Heavenly Dao, almost beyond transcendence.
Moreover, the arrival of the end was precisely what she had been waiting for.
Thus, she felt no anxiety. Instead, she was delighted.
But those supreme eternal beings could no longer sit still!
Right under Li Wei's nose, they gathered together and decided to do something momentous!
They would sever the River of Time, unify the myriad realms, bind time into one, and seek "transcendence"!
At the meeting, Little Gu voiced his vehement opposition to the plan.
If the myriad realms were "unified," who would remain? Who would be destroyed?
What would become of the countless trillions of living beings?
He believed that rather than relying on "unification" to chase the nebulous goal of "transcendence,"
everyone should join forces and find a way to resist the final calamity and rebuild Heaven and Earth!
Unfortunately, the strength of one man could not withstand the tide of the times. The plan was still adopted by all the eternals.
Moreover, not long after the meeting, Little Gu perished in a "surrounding slaughter."
Alas, in the end, they had still come to this.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace, Li Wei remained composed and did not intervene.
Because the one who died was merely an "Other Self" carrying all of Little Gu's inheritance and karma.
His true self had already used this opportunity to slip behind the scenes, never to appear again.
