Their eyes held a trace of excitement and relief. Ever since becoming Immortals, they had abandoned everything to suppress the Great World Origin and keep heaven and earth at their most flourishing state. In truth, it had also been a torment and ordeal for their Dao Hearts.
Though an avatar was powerful, it was not the true body in the end. It did not even possess half the true body's strength.
Ji Ruonan had been slain, forcing the Five-Elements Dao Ancestor to perform Dao Sacrifice. It was also an explanation to the many Immortals—such a thing would never happen again.
This matter appeared to be merely the Immortal Fall of one Immortal, but if mishandled, it could stir up towering waves and shake the entire Three Thousand Great Worlds. Those Peak Immortals all understood just how vicious the Five-Elements Dao Ancestor's intentions were.
In their eyes, people who spoke of righteousness were nothing more than a joke.
Back then, the Five-Elements Dao Ancestor had set out to plunge heaven and earth into chaos and reshape the Great World Rules. How could someone like that care about the lives of living beings across countless Domains? He only cared whether his own thoughts ran free and unimpeded.
The act had been performed to perfection; some Immortals had even been deceived.
Yet everyone tacitly understood such matters, and no one voiced them. At the very least, they had to grant him some dignity in his Dao Sacrifice. After all, he had truly done it.
Within the void.
The aged voice slowly rang out again. "But the territory of this Taiyi Great World is incomplete and still needs to be found. The juniors of the Strongest Myriad Races have already set out. We need only hold the overall situation steady."
"Mm." An Immortal nodded.
