Hua Min'er and the others naturally wanted to fight alongside Ling Tian against the Lord of the Universe. But after learning how great the gap was between their strength and Ling Tian's—and especially that the Lord of the Universe was more than ten major realms above them—they fell silent. They knew all too well that with such an enormous gap, they wouldn't be able to help. In fact, they might not even be able to withstand the aura radiating from the Lord of the Universe, let alone fight him. That would still be true even with the grand formation Ling Tian had set up to protect them. They would not only be unable to help; they would become a burden, and that was the last thing they wanted.
But they also didn't want Ling Tian to face the Lord of the Universe alone. For a time, they remained silent.
Ling Tian saw straight through their worry. Laughing heartily, he told them he wasn't fighting alone. Then he explained how he and Chi Xue's group would attack the Lord of the Universe from within and without. Of course, he also told them about Chi Xue and the others' cultivation and strength, emphasizing in particular that, thanks to their cultivation of the Sacred Heart Art and secret techniques such as the Great Thousand Worlds, their strength was virtually unmatched among those of the same rank. Clearly, he wanted to put Hua Min'er and the others at ease.
Ling Tian was currently inside his Small World, and he had great confidence in it. He was sure that even the Lord of the Universe couldn't hear what he was saying. Naturally, the Lord of the Universe wouldn't learn their exact strategy, or, in particular, what methods Chi Xue and the others had mastered.
