In everyone's hearts, they all want to support the Celestial Court, but they are also afraid of facing a fate of annihilation.

At this moment, inside a secret chamber.

Bodhi Zi and a few trusted disciples gather to discuss the important matter of choosing their allegiance.

Each of those disciples is furrowing their brows, all troubled about whether to choose the Celestial Court.

Bodhi Zi also changes from his usual frivolous demeanor to one filled with worry.

At this moment, Shao Wei's voice rang out in the room.

"Master! We must decide now! If we exceed the time without choosing, we will be punished!"

Bodhi Zi took a deep breath: "What do you think we should choose?"

"This..."

Shao Wei hesitated.

Then, with a bitter smile, he said, "I personally support the Celestial Court, but I am worried that if we fail, the more than ten thousand lives in the Three-Star Cave will be sacrificed in vain! So, I dare not speak casually."

As soon as he finished speaking, another young man wearing a Daoist Robe took over the conversation.

"Master, from a rational perspective, if we support the Celestial Court, there is a 99% probability of failure, and if we're lucky, we might surrender and attach ourselves to another race; if we're unlucky, the Three-Star Cave will disappear directly!"

"But if we choose the Six Paths Mausoleum or the Time Clan, our chances of victory will be very high!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"To preserve our Hua Country's legacy, choosing either of those two races is the best choice!"

With these words, Shao Wei immediately retorted!

"Third Senior Brother, if we choose the Time Clan or the Six Paths Mausoleum, can you be sure we will win? Which one will actually win, the Time Clan or the Six Paths Mausoleum?"

"This..."

That Third Senior Brother was momentarily unable to answer.

But then he sighed and said, "Statistically speaking, whether choosing the Time Clan or the Six Paths Mausoleum, there is a 50% chance of winning."

"But choosing the Celestial Court is almost certain death. Do we knowingly choose a dead-end path?"

Shao Wei was annoyed: "If we don't choose the Celestial Court, do you want to fight against the Celestial Court in the upcoming struggle?"

Third Senior Brother was taken aback: "This... I just drew this conclusion from big data analysis, and it's not wrong!"

"Everyone, quiet down!"

Bodhi Zi impatiently interrupted the two's argument.

Concerning over ten thousand lives, he dared not make a hasty decision.

At this moment, Bodhi Zi frowned, looking up out the window, showing a contemplative expression.

After a long while, he sighed: "Enough! We cannot stand by and do nothing! Even if we lose, we Chinese must die standing, I choose to support the Celestial Court!"

As his words fell, Bodhi Zi let out a long breath, as if releasing the pent-up breath on his mind.

Shao Wei also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Even that bookish Third Senior Brother slightly nodded in agreement with this decision.

Although Third Senior Brother has always had a fondness for mathematics and knows the probability of choosing the Celestial Court is extremely low, emotionally, he is still inclined toward the Celestial Court.

"Master, is that decision final?"

Shao Wei confirmed again.

Bodhi Zi nodded: "You go to the chat channel and announce it to everyone!"

"Alright~!"

Shao Wei quickly opened the chat channel, ready to announce the decision.

"Hmm? Wait, how could I forget this!"

But at that moment, Bodhi Zi seemed to recall something, suddenly tapping his forehead.

The disciples all looked to Bodhi Zi in surprise.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Bodhi Zi raised his head, his eyes shining: "Ah~! I forgot, I have the Zhou Yi! Known as the book that calculates all affairs of the world, with it, we can judge the auspiciousness of a matter!"

Shao Wei's eyes lit up: "Master, you should've mentioned this treasure earlier, hurry and calculate, if we support the Celestial Court, will it be auspicious or ominous?"

All the disciples urged eagerly.

At this moment, everyone's curiosity was piqued!

Bodhi Zi's eyes shifted as he muttered, "Let's agree on this, regardless of whether the result we calculate later is auspicious or ominous, our decision to support the Celestial Court remains unchanged!"

"Even if it's a sign of great disaster, we must support the Celestial Court! Who agrees? Who opposes?"

Upon hearing this, the disciples looked at each other.

Moments later, they nodded slightly, indicating agreement.

Seeing this, Bodhi Zi waved his hand and summoned an ancient book, the original text of the Zhou Yi!

The moment the Zhou Yi appeared, it exuded an aura of ageless antiquity!

"Buzz~!"

Bodhi Zi smoothed his palm over the Zhou Yi, which resonated with a hum as it slowly unfolded, releasing an endless golden torrent that rose into the sky, transforming into a divine page.

Then, Bodhi Zi rapidly performed Seal Techniques, manipulating the divine page!

The divine page emitted constant bursts of golden light, with ancient script appearing on it, containing boundless Dao Rhyme.

Shao Wei and the others all widened their eyes, watching intently.

They could not recognize the ancient script, but at a glance, they could grasp the meaning behind it.

Thus, Bodhi Zi began using the Zhou Yi to speculate on the auspiciousness or ominousness of their choice.

Whether he truly forgot about using the Zhou Yi to decide which force to join was no longer important...

...

At the same time, mysterious forces in other districts were also making their own decisions.

At this moment, in the Great Hall of the Bai Li Clan, District Three.

A middle-aged man sits at the center of the hall.

He is the Clan Leader of the Bai Li Clan—Baili Xuanze.

Below him, nine great figures are seated.

Those nine are the leaders of mysterious forces.

"Clan Leader Baili, may we ask which faction you plan to choose?"

"Yes! We hope you make a decision soon, so we nine forces can proceed together with you!"

Baili Xuanze watches the attitude of the nine leaders, a slight smile curling at his lips, a feeling of great satisfaction filling his heart.

He relishes this feeling of being respected and revered!
