At the Source of Time, things had reached a stalemate.
Well, more precisely, half of it was at a stalemate. The other half was growing worse by the moment.
On Pangu's side, the other Limitless One of the Buddhist Sect had made some headway, effectively obstructing his return.
After all, no one with Limitless power stood in that Limitless One's path. Even with a group of Chaos Ones fighting desperately to stop him, they could not cover every opening. The Limitless One of the Buddhist Sect still found chances to strike.
Pangu's figure grew ever more illusory and unstable. He seemed to be drifting farther and farther from the space-time of the Mortal World.
When the Land of Ten Thousand Gods' sole Limitless power, the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix, had prepared the way to receive Pangu, they had paid too heavy a price. Their sole Limitless power had temporarily vanished.
Now, faced with the Limitless One of the Buddhist Sect's attacks, they were helpless.
But there had been no other choice. If the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix had not paid that price, they could not even have achieved this much. Pangu's return would have been a castle in the air, a groundless fantasy.
It was clear that if this continued, Pangu's return would become Dreamlike Bubbles and Shadows under the Limitless One of the Buddhist Sect's interference. It could not succeed.
The Limitless One of the Buddhist Sect was naturally pleased.
If he could not stop Meng Chuan, stopping Pangu's return would do.
Of the two Limitless Ones, preventing one from succeeding would count as a gain. The trip would not have been in vain.
The Buddhist Sect did not covet Meng Chuan's Dao Fruit as the Demon of the Dao's Opposition did, nor did it have grievances
