Fuxi, a Primordial God who could cast a divination from any hexagram, shook his head repeatedly and replied to his younger sister Nuwa:
"Grand Pure One Laozi, Li Er, has neither some plan nor some scheme. Rather, as a peerless powerhouse who already possessed the foundation of this Dao lineage and a fixed fruit position in other histories, he has lost that keen drive to strive upward. He has also lost the desire and resolve to change his fate and defy heaven. That is why he suddenly began beating the drums of retreat at this very moment, unwilling to venture into the Myriad Heavens and Worlds and open a Dao path for the Human Race. This is probably fear of the unknown."
After hearing Fuxi explain it this way,
Nuwa nodded in agreement.
Like Fuxi, Nuwa had been born in the Chaos Era before the Primordial World Creation.
During the Chaos Era, she had witnessed countless Chaos Demon Gods and weathered its rises and falls.
Once those Chaos Demon Gods lost the keen drive to fight for that single thread of hope,
they would regress rather than advance as they stagnated, then be defeated or devoured by other Chaos Demon Gods.
The weariness and desire to retreat that had suddenly arisen in Grand Pure One Laozi, Li Er, clearly stemmed not only from fear of the future, but also from establishing a Human Teaching Dao Lineage in another plane that differed entirely from the predetermined history of his own Human Teaching Dao Lineage in Primordial World History.
Such a development could not kindle his drive to forge ahead.
That was why Li Er had suddenly begun beating the drums of retreat.
This was something Nuwa could understand.
Lin Tian, however, said nothing more.
He was a man beyond worldly affairs
