All the immortals fell silent, each lost in thought, unsure what to say for the moment.
Taibai Venus said, "Encountering something like this is a disaster for all living beings of the Three Realms, and also our shame. As Heavenly Gods, we are immortals revered by the people. We were supposed to protect them, yet now we cannot protect them and have instead allowed them to suffer harm. Are you willing to let such a thing happen?"
"No!" Star Lord Wenqu shouted.
Several people beside Star Lord Wenqu also cried out loudly.
But the rest continued to remain silent. This was not something they could casually take a stance on.
Taibai Venus said, "As immortals of the Heavenly Court, it is our duty to protect the Three Realms. No matter who it is, as long as they are bringing harm to the Three Realms, we should act and stop them—even if that person is His Majesty!"
The crowd remained silent.
Taibai Venus exchanged a glance with Star Lord Wenqu, feeling rather vexed. Had these people all gone stupid? Whether they agreed or not, they should at least say something.
"Earth Chief Star, what do you think?" Taibai Venus looked toward Earth Chief Star.
"Ah?" Earth Chief Star raised his head, then slowly stood up. "I... I think... think it's better to avoid trouble whenever possible. We only need to do our own jobs well. No matter how the heavens change, as long as we do not make mistakes, nothing will happen to us."
Taibai Venus's expression darkened somewhat. Was Earth Chief Star joking?
"What does everyone think of Earth Chief Star's idea?" Taibai Venus asked calmly, without showing any anger.
"I think it's a good idea."
"I agree as well."
"Agreed."
Fifty or sixty percent of the immortals agreed.
