"Just now, you... could have escaped alone to preserve yourself!"
Wyatt Barnes looked at the old man in front of him with interest.
"If I wanted to preserve myself, I wouldn't have come today!"
The old man, no longer the spirited figure from before, wore a bitter smile, resembling an elderly man nearing his twilight years.
"After all, before I came, I once thought your wife would accompany you."
"And I've already confirmed your wife's strength... Comparable to a 'Golden Immortal' of the heavenly realms!"
The old man said.
"So, you're doing this for your people?"
Wyatt asked lightly.
"Yes."
The old man didn't deny it.
"At your level, just one step away, if you endure the tenth 'Scattered Immortal Tribulation', you can ascend to the heavenly realms and achieve 'Golden Immortal'... Is it worth it, doing this?"
Wyatt questioned again.
"There's no 'worth it' or 'not worth it'... As you've said: They are my people!"
The old man replied.
"Infinite Great One!"
