Uchiha Shin and Shen Gongbao sat facing each other. For a while, neither of them spoke, and both seemed to be in low spirits.
It was only natural for Shen Gongbao to be in a bad mood. After all, he had failed even in trying to die. As for Uchiha Shin, the things he had just said to Shen Gongbao had unexpectedly stirred something in his own heart.
It was not so easy to change the situation in the Three Realms.
Although cultivators were immensely powerful, they were still nothing before the Deva Path—not even those in the Saint Realm.

"Shen Gongbao, failing once or twice is nothing. That is not what is frightening. What is frightening is being unable to recover after failure. You killed yourself before, yet you have now come back to life. That is fate. The heavens did not want you to die like that. They hoped that after being reborn, you could stand up again and begin a new life."
