To gauge a god's potential, don't just observe their daily performance – what's more crucial is how they respond in critical moments.
Now, it's that critical moment.
Under the gaze of the Heavenly Emperor of Filial, the adaptability and latent potential of countless immortals immediately come into view.
None of the immortals openly step up—they aren't that foolish.
But, a few immortals subtly take a step back.
This step back embodies a gap that many immortals can't bridge their entire life.
Ji Changsheng appreciatively glances at those immortals who have retreated.
Though it doesn't necessarily mean they're off the hook in the end, judging from their current demeanour, it's alright to spare their execution for a later round.
"I see you've spoken up for Hyperion," he says.
Ji Changsheng's smile is scarily amusing, "very righteous of you. I admire those who understand the importance of loyalty."
But remember, he only appreciates people who are loyal.
