Daochen had witnessed the entire battle from beginning to end, all his attention devoted to seeking insight.
Yet even so, he still could not quite understand what he had missed in this battle.
As the god of strength, whose Dao ranked first among the three thousand Great Daos, Pangu's fundamental Dao had to be the great Dao of strength.
