After the starship Lieque pierced into the void and vanished, Wang Qi still stood there with a stiff smile.
Of course, this was a newly made avatar. As for his true body, it remained within the Beast Mechanism cluster at the former lunar orbit.
"Hmm... I somehow ended up offending my superior." Wang Qi sighed. "What rotten luck."
Heaven and earth bore witness—when he blew up the moon and closed the Immortal Gate, that had been the only suitable tactic at the time.
If he had not used ascension to get Alu'er off the surface of this planet, the battle between the two of them would definitely have spread deeper. The lower layers might have collapsed, burying the last remnants of the Laude civilization completely.
And once Alu'er became an immortal and began ascending, the Immortal Gate had to be closed. Otherwise, she could leave at any time.
By comparison, an Outer Dao practitioner like Wang Qi, who merely possessed some immortal traits, might not be able to move freely in the depths of the Immortal Path.
