With over a hundred people infinitely close to the Saint level, their numbers had far exceeded Ling Tian and the others' expectations. Most importantly, Ling Tian was now incredibly powerful, even far stronger than an ordinary Saint. With his strength and various other means, he not only had a chance to make the Lord of the Universe yield and let him see his friends and family, but also a good chance of withstanding the Lord of the Universe's cosmic suppression. This had filled Chi Xue and the others with confidence that they could defeat the Lord of the Universe.
That was not all. Ling Tian and the others had made various other arrangements. For example, they had the Dark Pavilion and Mist Hidden Sect set up a great many super-large Teleportation Formations across the star fields, so they could rush to the Lord of the Universe and fight him as soon as they detected his whereabouts. This had further bolstered their confidence in defeating him.
Besides, there was still some time before the million-year deadline the Lord of the Universe had set for them. Ling Tian and the others would continue to grow stronger during that time. More people would reach the Thirty-fifth Heaven of Near-Saint and stabilize their realms, bringing them infinitely close to the Saint level. This would further increase their overall strength and give them an even better chance of defeating the Lord of the Universe.
In short, Chi Xue and the others were now brimming with confidence that they could defeat the Lord of the Universe and rescue their friends and family. If they hadn't wanted to use the time they had left to grow stronger, they would probably have been unable to resist attacking the Lord of the Universe early.
