Everyone was taken aback after hearing what that Heavenly God said.
Quite a few Heavenly Gods agreed with him.
They had not participated in this conflict at all. Now that things had come to this, it was the result of Taishang Laojun and the others fighting amongst themselves. Yet now that they could not clean up the mess, they wanted to drag everyone else in. Naturally, no one was willing.
Taishang Laojun said, "You cannot put it that way. We are all part of the Three Realms, and its survival concerns every one of us. If the Three Realms are truly destroyed this time, do you think any of you will survive?"
"We know the Three Realms are in grave danger this time, but gathering us here will not solve anything. Even if all of us joined forces against the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, we still would not be able to do anything to him. If this is to be resolved, you will have to handle it yourselves," said a Heavenly God.
Yuanshi Tianzun said, "If we could handle him ourselves, why would we have summoned you? This is the time for us to pull together, not argue here."
"Of course you can handle him. Though Goku has severely weakened all of you, you still possess tremendous fortune. And among you are the forefathers of both Buddhism and Daoism. So long as you are willing, you can suppress him."
The quarrel between the two sides continued.
Taishang Laojun and Tathagata Buddha exchanged glances. Neither had expected things to develop to this point.
They had thought that once they gathered the gods, everyone would work together wholeheartedly to deal with Goku.
But they truly had not expected everyone to think this way—to refuse to cooperate with them and even argue
