The situation at hand was akin to two chess players in a match, where there was already a certain disparity in strength between the two.
But not only did one possess more powerful chess skills and privileges in hand, but they could also nullify a losing game if defeated, then restart the match until achieving final victory.
On the other hand, the weaker side, upon losing once, would be thoroughly defeated, plummeting into an inexorable abyss.
In this extremely unequal match, the role Lin Xun played was that of the chess player at an absolute disadvantage.
Ever since he had stepped into the prelude woven by the Mandate of Destiny, both the Omniscient Authority he relied upon and his Soul Power Chaos Authority were subjected to binding and suppression. The once vaguely visible images of the future had already dissipated into nothingness.
