"Thank you for your guidance, Great Venerable!"
"We understand now!"
The oppressive atmosphere in the great hall vanished in an instant.
In its place was the joy of having survived a great disaster.
They began to discuss in low, excited voices how to deal with the Celestial Punishment, how to hoard resources, and how to form alliances.
Only Han Feng remained seated, as calm as ever.
A cruel truth had quietly blossomed in his mind.
'So that's how it is.'
'The Weaver's plan has a prerequisite: someone must attempt to break through to Tier Five and bind with the world's source.'
'If everyone stops at Tier Four Peak and refuses to offer themselves up as a sacrifice, wouldn't the Weaver's ultimate scheme fail?'
'No, that's not right.'
Han Feng quickly dismissed this naive idea.
'This line of thinking misses one thing: the Tide of Annihilation.'
'Even if these people don't advance to Tier Five, the Weaver's power accumulated within them is not to be underestimated.'
