Origin Continent, Hundred Battles Chaos Prefecture.
Inside a temporary cave dwelling carved into a nameless mountain peak.
Dongguan sat cross-legged on a stone platform, reflecting on the earlier battle, especially his own shortcomings.
Through that battle, Dongguan had discovered his flaws.
Compared with Eternal True Gods, he naturally had nothing to fear.
Aside from certain Eternal True Gods with trump cards whom he could not completely annihilate, he at least counted among the strongest of them.
But against Chaos Masters, apart from his noteworthy ability to preserve his life, he fell short in every other respect.
Had his understanding of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect been sufficient, he could have charged into the Chaos Layer back then and dragged Sui Shi out.
Although he had wanted to test a Chaos Master in the first place, having a choice and having no choice were two different things.
In terms of attacks, he could not even break through Great Sage Wu's defenses.
Then there was his will.
His will was indeed at the peak of the Chaos Master level, but with him potentially breaking through to Chaos Master at any moment, this could at most be considered decent, not an advantage.
He would have to attain God King-level will at the very least to have some advantage in that respect.
Then there were his secret arts.
He seemed to possess all kinds of secret arts, but their levels were too low.
Finally, there were treasures.
At the Chaos Master level, there were no mechanical flow treasures-at least, the Origin Continent had nothing at that level.
However, secret treasures remained an important means of increasing one's strength.
Yet he had none.
"The flaws are simply too great."
Having discovered his flaws, he naturally had to find solutions.
*First is my will.
