Guanyin Bodhisattva stood there with a joyful smile on her face. Although the two of them had extinguished the fire quickly, they had faced mortal danger every moment. One small mistake, and both of them could have died.
Guanyin Bodhisattva felt that her own death would be bearable at most—the Buddhist Sect would lose one Bodhisattva, and the Three Realms would lose one deity. But Uchiha Shin's death would be different. Uchiha Shin's importance to the Three Realms was of the utmost significance.
Uchiha Shin was now the key figure for keeping Taishang Laojun and Tathagata in check, as well as one of the core figures behind the success of the new fate.
If Uchiha Shin died, who knew what would happen to the Three Realms? They might once again descend into war and chaos, and then the Three Realms would be destroyed. Taishang Laojun, Tathagata, and the others would hide far away, then reshape a world from the ruins, create all living beings anew, continue enslaving everyone, continue plundering their fate, and increase their own power...
Those powerful people like Taishang Laojun hoped for Uchiha Shin's death, but most of the people below did not.
Like the great aristocratic clans hidden throughout the Three Realms, they supported Taishang Laojun on one hand, but they also supported Uchiha Shin.
They supported Taishang Laojun and the others because they could safeguard these clans' status and interests. They supported Uchiha Shin because the new fate he represented had a chance to seize control of the Three Realms. More importantly, they hoped Uchiha Shin could keep Taishang Laojun in check.
If no one restrained Taishang Laojun and the others, they would act without scruple. Those great aristocratic clans would also be suppressed and could very well become sacrifices.
