After a long while.
The Thousand-Eyed Star Lord let out a heavy muffled grunt. It was good that they had not seen through him.
"Star Lord." At his side, a Dao Spirit emerged, a creation born from his Great Dao.
"The world..." The Thousand-Eyed Star Lord hesitated, his eyes so grave that a chilling terror surfaced within them.
"Star Lord, your suspicions were correct."
The Dao Spirit lowered its head and said calmly, "Something is correcting time, the veins of Tiandi. It has slaughtered its way here from the Old Era. Star Lord, we have no way out. Even our Great Dao is on the verge of collapse."
Sure enough!
The Thousand-Eyed Star Lord's heart sank. His thousand eyes had collapsed, and Nan Hua had emerged—there had to be some powerful existence stirring the winds and clouds behind it all. Yet he had never imagined that it could even disrupt his divine ability Great Dao until it vanished. That had been his life-preserving means since ancient times.
Just now.
The Unifying Yuan Immortal Ancestor had wanted him to join the battle. How was he supposed to fight...?!
He had merely forced himself to put on an act just now. He was now nothing but a paper tiger, stripped of all immortal power and even his innate life-saving methods.
"I will head to the Outer Domain to retrieve someone." The Thousand-Eyed Star Lord spoke blandly. "You will lead the Dao Spirits and continue guarding Star Abyss."
"Yes, Star Lord."
One day later.
The Thousand-Eyed Star Lord ran away, vanishing without a trace. In any case, he never returned to his old nest, Star Abyss, after that.
Primordial Immortal River, midstream.
Tiandi roiled.
Every rustle of wind and cry of crane spoke of danger.
Countless powerful figures of the Star Wilderness
