Chapter 907: Arrangement
No one stopped it. The Heaven Ordainment Sect boasted countless Heavenly Emperors and Sacred Monarchs. Many among them understood all too well what it meant to hand over the very foundation of their sect's survival. Yet, not a single one dared to intervene.
They insisted everything had to follow the rules. Li Pin did just that. And on top of it, he exposed the flaws in their own system and struck a fatal blow. Should they dare deny it or resort to methods beyond the rules, they knew Li Pin would not hesitate to show them the might of someone who had slain nine Divine Emperors and stood unmatched across the Astral World.
In fact, even if this matter were to reach the Supremes or Highlords backing the Heaven Ordainment Sect after the Eternal Oblivion Disaster ended, Li Pin would still have the moral high ground.
In the end, Emperor Wu Dang personally led Gu You, Ji Shun, Wang Fuyun, and a few others responsible for receiving the data and access keys to the core of the Heaven Ordainment Sect.
While sorting through the materials that needed to be handed over, Wu Dang found a brief moment to pass on the situation to the other two Heavenly Emperors—Yuan Ling and Mordo.
The two emperors stayed silent for a long time. In the end, neither of them had the courage to go down with the ship. They understood it was futile. Even mutual destruction was nothing more than a pipe dream. In the end, they would be the ones to face ruin, while Li Pin would walk away unscathed.
Eventually, Yuan Ling—a Heavenly Emperor standing at the very peak of the Supreme Ladder, half a step away from becoming a Divine Emperor—spoke with a voice filled with quiet resignation. "Give it to him. For a long time from now, the Astral World will belong to the Era of Origin.
"All we can do is try to preserve the independence of the Heaven Ordainment Sect until the Eternal Oblivion Disaster ends and the Supremes step in again."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Perhaps... once the Supremes are allowed to intervene again, perhaps neither of them, not even the Primordial Abyss Highlord, will choose to pursue this matter. You've seen the reports from Abyssal Rift No.3. That power... it's already on par with a Supreme."
Wu Dang stayed silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh. "Supremes..."
Right now, Origin is effectively a Supreme, and not just any Supreme, but one who could unleash his power freely within the Astral World. Who could possibly stop him? Even if a Supreme came in person, they might not be able to change his mind.
Wu Dang, Yuan Ling, and Mordo even shared a terrifying thought that none of them dared to speak aloud.
