Primordial Heaven and Earth, who determines the rise and fall?
Since Pangu opened the sky and divided the land, the Primordial World came into being by fate, from the initial tribulations of Dragon and Han, the great battle between Witch Demons, the Sealing God Tribulation, all the way to the lesser calamity of Journey to the West. If the start of these tribulations were said to be ordained by the heavens, it would be more fitting to say they were the gambling of Saints.
Below the Saints, all are ants; this is not merely an expression but an undisputable fact. Saints are terrifyingly formidable and unfathomable. The level of life of a Saint is something Immortals cannot even speculate, just as mortals cannot stand shoulder to shoulder with Immortals. It is all the same principle.
Ye Xuan knew how terrifying Saints could be, not to mention the fearsome Hong Jun Daozu, who had merged with the Dao.
