Everyone was somewhat surprised by what Taishang Laojun had said. They all understood these matters, but it was unexpected for him to lay them bare and say them aloud.
Uchiha Shin naturally understood this principle as he listened to Taishang Laojun.
"You have all reached your current heights by treading upon heaven and earth, upon all living things. Since you have benefited from heaven and earth, you should give back to them. How can you act so recklessly?" Uchiha Shin retorted.
Taishang Laojun smiled again. "Mystic Spirit King, you are still too young. Do you think everyone wants to do this? No one wants to. I do not wish to do it either, but this is the rule by which the Deva Path operates. If you do not adapt to these rules, then in the end, you will be eliminated, you will die, and you will vanish from this world forever.
Do you know what it means to be unable to control your own fate in the Three Realms? There are many things that cannot be avoided just because you do not wish to do them, and there are also things you cannot do simply because you want to..."
As he spoke, Taishang Laojun moved closer to Uchiha Shin and said in a low voice, "For instance, this time, you did not step in to help Goku. You actually wanted to help Goku, didn't you? Yet you did not. You wanted Goku to be captured by the Heavenly Court and then locked in my Eight Trigrams Furnace to be refined, correct?"
Uchiha Shin was startled by Taishang Laojun's words, and a flicker of astonishment flashed through his eyes.
Taishang Laojun actually knew what he intended to do?
Since he knew, why was he still going through with it?
