The result of that battle was a devastating blow to the Holy Ancestor.
He had never imagined that the once revered dominator of the Nine Domains, whom he had worshipped for countless years,
would prove so vulnerable and frail before the Heavenly Dao.
A failure of epic proportions.
This left a shadow in the heart of the Holy Ancestor.
Later, he gradually transformed from a steadfast Heaven Challenger to a mere lapdog of the Heavenly Dao.
He feared the Heavenly Dao, believing it was undefeatable.
Thus, he embraced the mentality of "if you can't beat them, join them."
At that time, he submitted to the Heavenly Dao, chosen as a spokesperson, traversing the world and gaining unimaginable power.
After the era of the Primordial God-King, the Holy Ancestor began to cultivate assiduously, developing silently.
He hoped to become more useful.
He feared being worthless himself and feared being abandoned by the Heavenly Dao.
And so, it persisted until the era of the Demon's Advent.
