Uchiha Shin looked at Lord Lao before him. Now that Lord Lao held authority over the Three Realms, it would be greatly beneficial for him if he wished to prove the Dao through strength.
Uchiha Shin said, "Lord Lao, was Eastern Emperor Taiyi's fall back then connected to you?"
It was indeed somewhat inappropriate for him to ask this, but he could not help himself.
Lord Lao smiled. "Naturally, it was connected to me, but it was also their own karma."
"If Eastern Emperor Taiyi had not been so fond of war, how could he have fought the Witch Clan like that? If Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Demon Star Dragon had not both been so prideful, how could the two have fallen out?"
"So, none of this happened without cause."
Uchiha Shin said, "So Lord Lao merely went along with the tide?"
"It was not going along with the tide, but acting according to the circumstances. Cultivators must not only defy the heavens, but also follow the heavens. Only by combining the two can one reach a higher realm." Lord Lao shook his head.
Uchiha Shin said nothing more and quietly pondered.
Lord Lao said, "You should go as well. It is getting late."
Uchiha Shin rose, bade Lord Lao farewell, and headed for the East Blue.
Now that Lord Lao already knew about Demon Star Dragon, he no longer needed to hide. He entered the East Blue directly and arrived at Star Demon Cave.
Demon Star Dragon was also very pleased to see Uchiha Shin arrive.
Uchiha Shin told Demon Star Dragon about what had happened in Cloud Dream Marsh, and Demon Star Dragon was overjoyed.
"I never imagined that His Highness Eastern Emperor Taiyi was still alive. What joyous news! We truly have you to thank this time."
