In the Primordial era, those Ancient Gods and Demons wouldn't care if you had a smile on your face or not,
as long as you were weaker than them, they could kill you.
As for the reason, it's very simple, it's because you are too weak.
Who else would they kill if not you?
The weak are meant to be oppressed, there's nothing else to say about it.
So, the Progenitor Qilin also became powerful through killing.
After the Eastern King and Suiren left, someone came.
It was actually the Primordial Phoenix and the Ancestral Dragon,
or perhaps they were hiding there the entire time, but neither the Eastern King nor Suiren noticed them.
The Progenitor Qilin wasn't surprised at all, his expression calmed, and he asked, "What do you think?"
The Primordial Phoenix spoke, "Very strong, not weaker than us, and might even be a bit stronger."
The Progenitor Qilin nodded, he held the same opinion.
