Although the Lord of the Universe allowed Chi Xue and the others to take many people with them when they left the God Realm, this choice came with a restriction. Any cultivator randomly chosen to follow Chi Xue and the others as they broke free of the Lord of the Universe's control would have a restriction placed on them. It would take effect after a million years, and once it did, the cultivator would explode and die.

After all, they had already guessed that what the Lord of the Universe wanted them to do would be extremely difficult and dangerous. If they failed, they would explode and die after a million years.
