At this moment, the four great experts had undoubtedly glimpsed a clue: Blood Saint and the others were likely plotting something enormous.
But even if they had seen through it, they could not possibly retreat just like that.
They merely sought stability; they were not lying down and giving up. At this critical turning point of an age in flux, anyone who wished to achieve anything had to seize every opportunity they could grasp.
Though their foundations were profound, and even if they did nothing, their power and status would continue to grow—

At the same time, the four great experts were also discussing whether to strike now.
After all, given the current situation, the saints' side had already revealed their two greatest trump cards.
As for the remaining few Eternals and several Immortalities, they were nothing to them.
