Journeying together to Spirit Mountain to rescue the surviving Great Sages?
Hearing this request, Meng Qi first felt that it was absurd and laughable. If any Great Sages had truly survived, wouldn't rescuing them be tantamount to suicide?
In this age, the human race seemed to be flourishing, its flowers embroidered in splendor and its flames burning ever higher. Yet, once they encountered a Legendary foe, the gap remained impossible to bridge. Only a handful of factions could barely hold their ground. All their prosperity, all their future, would surely be snuffed out.
Even a Great Power who had just entered the Legendary realm could do that, let alone the Great Sages who had once roamed the world in ancient times.
Why had he risked himself to gather information and done everything in his power to create the Other Self Mark? To prove himself Legendary before the Legendary Great Powers returned, and to protect the people and things he cared about. Wouldn't letting the Great Sages escape ahead of time turn everything upside down, making his means contradict his goal?
