Adam felt deeply helpless at Lord Lao's words: "What should not come cannot be encountered; what should come cannot be avoided."
If this matter involved the entire Sea of Worlds, then there was indeed no escaping it. Rather than waiting until it became impossible to clean up, even if he would not be the first to bear the brunt, he at least needed to get to the bottom of it.
