The main concern was that Old Ancestor Hongjun, that sly old bastard, would come back!
He was a transcendent Great Sage who had taken a shortcut to the Limitless Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal Realm.
Old Ancestor Hongjun was second to none in caution and cunning.
It would have been one thing if he had merely broken through to the realm of a limitless primordial Daluo golden immortal.
But he had even shamelessly bound himself to the Heavenly Dao!
As mentioned before, the Heavenly Dao clearly held more than forty percent of the World Will's weighting!
That was far more than the twenty-odd percent held by the Earthly Dao and the Human Path respectively!
So, since Houtu was the sole Sage of the entire Earthly Dao, as well as the founder of the Underworld, which was equivalent to a small Great Thousand World,
