There was a legitimate reason as to why Bao the 'Panda' did not desire to be visibly around and present when Li Yang entered the Sanctum of Death—and it was the goddess' fault. Sure, Bao could also incur the wrath of this deity far more quickly than Yang… but it wasn't because it was afraid of her or anything at all.
It was just troublesome, really.
Encounters with them were tricky.
Most of the time, life and death were in their hands.
Unfair that may have been, but that was how things worked.
Bao needed to prioritize its own safety and well-being over Li Yang's and it was best done by avoiding the goddess and others among their level. There had been the Telriah Goddess, but it was also a lucky encounter.
Aurora was thankfully at a far flung realm to have been up to the news, and she had also been kind of shabby after the millennium's sleep. So it wasn't even a surprise to this creature that Li Yang got away by a hairbreadth's distance.
