The voice of the Great Dao rang out beside Laozi's ears once more.
Laozi could sense that the Great Dao seemed to have changed ever so slightly and had actually made a promise.
If the Great Dao could fulfill these promises, he would at least not have to charge directly into Hong Huang.
In that case, there might truly be a sliver of hope for survival.
Perhaps they would not need to act themselves. With the help of outsiders, they might be able to fulfill the Great Dao's decree.
They might even buy time and find an opportunity to transcend.

"Big Brother!"
"This opportunity is rare. If you fail to seize it, This Venerable will have no choice but to destroy you completely!"
Yuanshi's voice came swiftly.

Once they landed, no matter how powerful Laozi was, he would have no chance
