Just like the great war that took place three thousand years ago.
Too many people from the sect died then, from the old generation, the middle-aged generation, to the young generation—three generations suffered heavy losses, and as a result, the sect had not been able to recover its vitality for three thousand years.

Having experienced that painful lesson previously, he naturally became vigilant and dared not be careless again.
Therefore, he decided, regardless of whether there was a future or not, to first get past this current difficult situation.
