Could Meng Chuan, having entered Dao Union, strike again?
The answer, of course, was no.
The individual known as Meng Chuan had truly vanished forever. He had dissolved into the Dao and become part of it.
That strike had been his limit, his one and only chance.
He had completed his final task in the instant he fully entered Dao Union, while a sliver of clarity still remained.
After that, he could never manifest again.
The Great Dao Matrix itself did not casually strike at Living Beings or erase anyone at will.
After entering Dao Union, Meng Chuan had lost himself. Even if he had somehow retained his sense of self, he would still have had to obey the Laws of the Great Dao.
Unless someone violated the Great Dao Iron Laws and brought down the Great Dao's suppression. Then, in a sense, the Great Dao's strike could be seen as Meng Chuan's...

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say they knew Meng Chuan most likely could not strike again. The odds were infinitely close to a hundred percent.
