Inside Taiyi Hall, the many Dao Venerables all wore solemn expressions.
Even though they had anticipated it, Northern Dark's resolute and forceful stance still weighed heavily on Dao Hong, Xuanyang, and the others.
Upon the Yellow Mystery Platform, it would be a fight to the death.
In the words of the Nine Provinces Cauldron, there was no such thing as an absolutely correct principle in this world. Using life and death to distinguish right from wrong was the simplest method.
Whoever survived was the winner. Whoever won had the right to reason, the right to speak.
The losing side had to accept its fate.
This method of letting victory and defeat determine what was right was crude and simple, yet exceptionally effective.
Dao Venerable Dao Hong gave Northern Dark Dao Venerable a deep look. At this point, saying anything was useless. He merely felt heartache. Northern Dark thought only of himself, paying no heed at all to the state of the Nine Provinces.
The Nine Provinces were now hanging by a thread, and what they needed was for everyone to join hands and weather this crisis together.
At a time like this, internal strife was nothing but meaningless attrition. It could solve no problems. It was not that Northern Dark did not understand this principle; he simply had too many desires and had been seized by the throat by outsiders.
Northern Dark Dao Venerable understood Dao Hong's disappointment, but he did not care. Dao Hong's compassion for all living things was his own affair. If he truly had the ability to wipe out all the foreign races under heaven, that would be more reliable than making the human race unite as one!
Though those behind them had not dared speak earlier, most now wore complicated expressions.
