Borrowing Its Power Instead
So these three Heavenly Kings had pledged themselves to the Dragon of the Shoreless.
No—most likely, apart from Huanglou, Wu Jie, and Mofa who were present, even Wanchen Heavenly King, Chenling Heavenly King, and Zhenyu Heavenly King had all pledged themselves to the Dragon of the Shoreless, one of the Six Dragons of Path-Opening.
The reasoning was simple. Even if the nine Heavenly King titans descended into this era, their safety would hardly be assured. Sooner or later, the Lord of the Divine Court would find an opportunity to eliminate these titans of the Future Divine Court.
On the other hand, even if the Lord of the Divine Court did not act, they would still be destroyed by He Ping. Whether the Lord of the Divine Court struck first or He Ping chose to make a move, those who had forged such blood-deep hatred with him would not escape death.

Thus, the Heavenly Kings needed someone powerful to cling to—someone who could stand against either the Lord of the Divine Court or He Ping.
