"It's not just you, no one here, including myself, has the right to claim they carry a grand fate."
"This Fate-killing Trap has little to do with us; by withdrawing voluntarily, we can preserve our lives."

"Such a short time has already eliminated more than two hundred people. It is very likely that the Fate-killing Trap will activate further, and the causal slaughter is imminent; we don't have much time left."
"This is a matter of great importance; it's time to join all sects to discuss strategies!"
Atop the mountain summit, the disciples of various sects responded in unison:
"We shall heed the Elder's decree!"
