Xuan Shuzi fell silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. "From my personal perspective, I naturally don't want the Guiyi Realm to change hands. After all, it was the fruit of my Master's painstaking efforts."
"But I also know that Master has been gone from this world for far too long. I don't even know whether he will return."
"Without Senior's assistance, we would probably still be locked in endless internal conflict, ultimately perishing alongside the world."
"Now, not only has the world been restored, it also has a more complete system of laws and the potential to continue advancing. All of this is thanks to Senior Styx."
"However, with the world restored, new troubles are about to descend as well. If the Guiyi Realm were still divided as it was before, it might not attract overly powerful covetous eyes. But the Guiyi Realm as it is now is not something a group of Primordial Chaos Grand Luo Golden Immortals like us can protect."
"So, no matter how we look at it, we must find the world a powerful master, a guardian with formidable strength."
"I believe that if Master knew the truth, he wouldn't blame us. Therefore, I agree to Senior Styx becoming the new master of the Guiyi Realm."
Another old man from the Guiyi Faction sighed. "But... if that's the case, won't we become someone else's vassals?"
"Not so." Old Man Myriad Phenomena shook his head. "Senior Styx has not asked us to submit to him personally. He merely hopes that we will acknowledge him as the World Master of this realm. This means he will be the guardian deity of this world, not its enslaver."
"Besides," he paused, "haven't you all sensed it? Senior Styx's Great Dao has already merged with the Guiyi Realm.
