However, the Tomb Spirit did not wish for Lin Yuan to crush it himself.
The former was clearly the Xuan Emperor's intention, while the latter was the Tomb Spirit's own thought.
The Tomb Spirit also understood what crushing the Xuanhuang Bead meant.
But why did the Xuan Emperor leave this command?
Is it because he knew of the threat Lin Yuan faced from two unparalleled Great Saints?
Not to mention how the Xuan Emperor knew about events taking place over 30 million Cosmic Eras later.
Even if he did know, there was no need to act this way.
For a successor from who knows how many generations later, to completely give up his hope of breaking into the Thirteenth Layer, and have all traces of his existence erased?
It makes no sense at all.
Back when the Profound Xuanhuang line was destroyed, countless members and disciples of the Profound Xuanhuang line were hunted down, yet there was no sign of Xuanhuang breaking the time loop, so why do it 30 million Cosmic Eras later?
