After returning to the Primordial World, Taiyi informed only a select few, such as Nüwa and Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, before wandering the Primordial Continent alone.
When the Three Sects gathered to discuss the Investiture of the Gods, and the Three Pure Ones—once united as one, like green lotus leaves, white lotus roots, and red lotus flowers—argued until their faces flushed over the allocation of positions on the list.
Taiyi stood quietly to one side, watching the remarkable scene of the Three Pure Ones' fraternal strife with amused amazement.
Yet though Taiyi stood so close at hand, the Three Pure Ones and the others seemed utterly unaware of him.
When mortal dynasties changed, countless members of the Human Race slaughtered one another, storming cities, seizing territory, and claiming mountains as kings.
Taiyi merely walked calmly past the soldiers, heading straight into battlefields filled with flying stones and arrows, watching them roar, charge, and fall one after another at his side.
He walked among the countless sentient beings, watching flowers bloom and wither, the sun rise and the moon set.
Yet no one could see where Taiyi went.
Up to the saints of the Three Sects, down to peddlers and laborers.
Even when Taiyi stopped right before them, even when he murmured softly to himself, no one could hear him.
Only then did Taiyi understand how overwhelmingly powerful and terrifying the abilities granted by truly controlling the authority of an entire world were.
Before becoming the supreme being of the Primordial Wilderness, Taiyi might have been able to kill saints, but he could not have appeared silently before one without being noticed.
After all, without using the Chaos Pearl to conceal his aura, Taiyi was merely a saint of the Hunyuan Realm as well.
From then on, Taiyi's mindset changed completely.
