How many wanted to see Pangu return and add another Limitless One to the world?
And how many did not want him back, content to keep the number of Limitless Ones at nine?
Those questions might never be answered. Only the Great Powers themselves knew what they truly thought.

Everyone quietly watched the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix summon Pangu, with no sign of trying to sabotage them.
It was as if they had no objection to Daoist Friend Pangu's return. On the contrary, they welcomed it.
