If that was true, what awaited them might be utter annihilation.
Opening the passage would only draw in something far more terrifying.
"I understand," the Underworld Devil Lord said, his eyes flickering as realization dawned.
"He means to kill with a borrowed blade and divert the calamity onto us."
"The instant we open the passage, we'll throw out the power of the third-party universe that we sealed away."
"If the Final Logic and the power of the Root of the Indescribable try to enter the Infinite Universe Fragments through the passage,"
"they'll unleash an overwhelmingly powerful attack the moment it opens."
"They may even try to wipe out all of us who opened it in one stroke."
"But if we throw that being from the third-party universe out first, he'll become our shield and cannon fodder."
"Facing destruction, he'll surely unleash all his power in an instant."
"But his power amounts to a world-scale volume of only 700 billion li, even if his essence is no weaker than the Final Logic or the Root of the Indescribable."
"No one knows how powerful the forces outside are."
"If I'm right, Li Qing intends to wipe us out along with him."
"If we linger, the attack from outside may strike us too after the third-party power is destroyed."
"Once we're dead, the clone projection that came with us will probably close the cosmic passage."
"For instance, it could use the power of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation in his hands to resonate with the universe's incomplete Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, closing the passage we opened."
"That would eliminate our surplus forces, stop the third-party being from causing trouble, and keep the Final Logic and the Root of the Indescribable outside—all while borrowing their blade."
"One stone, four birds. The depth of this scheme is astonishing."
