Ye Lin decided to reveal the truth about the Ascension Gate and make the old man understand that he was the world’s only hope.

• Ye Lin told the old man he had come to offer the world a sliver of hope, but the old man said the Human Race could not defeat an entire Great World.

• Ye Lin decided to send the old man information about the Ascension Gate and show him that Ye Lin was their only hope.

Ye Lin asked three powerful cultivators to help open the passages from Central Continent to the other four continents so he could prepare to turn Loose Immortals into immortals.

• The old man warned that opening the passages would allow the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons’ main forces to enter the four continents.

Ye Lin urged the elders to reopen the passages between the five continents before the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons overwhelmed the Eastern Continent, but they doubted his warnings. He claimed absolute authority in the Central Continent as proof, leaving the elders to decide whether to trust him.

• Ye Lin argued that the Central Continent had fallen because of its arrogance and that the four remaining continents needed to unite against the invasion.

Ye Lin told him to share the proposal with the other races while he negotiated with the transcendent factions, leaving the Central Continent’s response unresolved.
