Du Gang was thinking too dramatically, Hong Chong's "backup plan" didn't cause much commotion.
Hong Chong basically contacted all the planet-level individuals he knew, roughly a dozen. This included stellar-level powerhouses from the most recent three or four kingdoms.
At first, these individuals were somewhat moved. However, upon closer investigation, they found that three planet-level powerhouses vanished.
Including Hong Chong, Zilan Norton, and Immortal Turtle Zhang Qiang all vanished. Based on their remaining Soul Lamps, they were all dead.
And the time of their deaths? Nearly simultaneous.
This fact made many planet-level individuals reconsider their involvement.
While planet-level powerhouses should have the capability to be brave and bold, they also need to understand when a situation is dangerous.
Right on the spot, four or five planet-level individuals left immediately, returning to their respective star domains and distancing themselves from the entire affair.
