Hearing the Empress' words, countless seniors, parents, comrades, and allies of the participants heaved a collective sigh of relief. They had watched as these cultivators spasmed or squirmed as if they were seizing and thought the worse, yet their tears, cries, shouts, and everything else out of desperation were left unanswered by the World of Eden. Moreover, during this period, they couldn't speak to anyone else within the World of Eden or the outside world as all voices were isolated.
They simply weren't allowed to act or interfere. Some Ascended beings who watched their blood descendants wreathed in pain tried to act, but they were instantly driven to a state of complete suppression by a raging flood of silver light from Baby Defiant. Fortunately, it only lasted five minutes, so the hearts and minds of those seeking to assist their loved ones were quickly relieved.
