All this time, they had treated the Unknown as an enemy, especially the hidden Unknown. No one knew what the Unknown was planning.

From the perspective of the people of the Heavenly Origin Universe, the Unknown was an enemy. By aiding Eternal Life, it was a great enemy of the people of the Heavenly Origin Universe. But looking at the situation of Human Civilization as a whole, it hadn't acted even when Qi Xu died. Why?
Had it simply let Qi Xu die?
Also, the Unknown must have known that Qi Xu had died. Why hadn't it told the Unknown sooner? Instead, it let Azure Lotus Supreme deceive the Unknown, allowing Human Civilization to develop in peace for so many years—and even gain another Shocking Gate Supreme Lord.
