The several Immortals present and the several others who were not here yet, all of them, had gathered together because of a common goal.
Daozi wanted to follow the Sage and suppress the entire universe, then rise to the top to become the new Wielder of the Heaven's Will. He wished to bring the scholarly faction to the pinnacle of the universe once more. However, before that, he had to make sure that the current Wielder of the Will could not recover.
Scarlet Heaven's goal was to train a Wielder of the Heaven's Will. Unlike other Immortals, he had no interest in the position of Wielder of the Will. In fact, even Scarlet Heaven himself wondered why he couldn't feel any interest when he heard of becoming a Wielder of the Will.
