"That I cannot say. Other space-related six seeds might correspond to far more powerful races, or they might no longer exist. In this world of all things, who can truly say how creation, destruction, and change unfold?"
Kongtong gave a slight sigh. Much like his own Sky-Shadow Clan, which had been perfectly fine just days ago, they now faced a life-or-death crisis in the blink of an eye.
Yet Kongtong's thoughts quickly turned. Although the Sky-Shadow Clan had encountered immense peril this time, they had found a clue to the Void Sky Sub-Cauldrons—or rather, directly located a sub-cauldron itself, and this treasure rested upon Lu Xiaotian.
For the Sky-Shadow Clan, this could be seen as fulfilling the destiny handed down by their ancestors. The sub-cauldron had chosen Lu Xiaotian, and in Kongtong's eyes, Lu Xiaotian's importance instantly surpassed that of the previous patriarch.
The seven space seeds corresponded to seven sub-cauldrons. As the owner of one such sub-cauldron, Lu Xiaotian innately possessed the most supreme status second only to the mother cauldron, representing the orthodox bloodline of space.
By comparison, Kong Tianji could only be considered a fellow who had lost his original sanity while possessing formidable strength.
Without this turn of events, Kongtong believed that once Kong Tianji emerged victorious from his struggle against Lu Xiaotian, he would very likely return to the Sky-Shadow Clan and reassert control over the entire race.
To the victor go the spoils. Even if he had previously committed acts that wronged his clansmen, as long as he possessed absolute strength, that person could turn the clan upside down at will and suppress all dissenting voices.
Yet even if Kong Tianji's strength advanced further, he could at best only keep the Sky-Shadow Clan as it was, making it difficult to achieve any breakthrough progress.
