In truth, there was little more to say here about Meng Qi.
Though the Virtuous Heavenly Venerable had always stayed tucked away in Tusita Palace, he probably saw the state of the world more clearly than anyone.

They would return from absolute nothingness to the world of existence. The Three Pure Ones as One would absorb the Epoch Cycle Power and transcend.
Returning to nothingness was a process, not the final result. One had to be able to return to existence as well.
