That was right. Even if the Eastern Emperor Bell took Hua Min'er and the others into its Small World, Ling Tian wouldn't be fighting alone. Chi Xue and the others would go all out while he fought the Lord of the Universe. Working together from within and without, they'd have a good chance of breaking open the Lord of the Universe's cosmos and helping Ling Tian escape. They might even have a good chance of defeating him outright.
After realizing this, Poqiong and the others fell silent and stopped trying to dissuade him. They knew all too well that once Ling Tian had made up his mind, it would be nearly impossible to change it.
Since his decision was made, Ling Tian said no more and began setting up the grand formation with all his strength. With it, he could hold out longer against the Lord of the Universe, and every extra moment would give Chi Xue and the others more time to trouble their foe, increasing their chances of helping him break free from the Lord of the Universe's restraints.
Besides, the sooner Ling Tian finished setting up the formation, the sooner he could cultivate in the Eastern Emperor Bell's main-body space. Nearly a thousand years of cultivation there could substantially improve his strength. In particular, he could advance his mastery of merging an Externalized Small World with the formation patterns, or at the very least expand his Small World further. He wasn't worried that the Lord of the Universe would suddenly attack during that time; as soon as he sensed anything amiss, he could emerge from the Eastern Emperor Bell's main-body space.
If the Lord of the Universe really broke their agreement and attacked early, Ling Tian would have nothing left to hold back. Even if he couldn't
