Hanyu sometimes couldn't understand the wasteful schemes of the Heavenly Dao. It had placed a huge bet on him, yet still expected him to charge into battle.
It wanted him to keep switching sides, but also not to die.
That was too much to ask.
As they burrowed through the earth, Zhishou kept talking. In his analysis, the Heavenly Being's latest move was likely a major probe.
