Zhao Gongming's sentiment made a lot of sense. All beings under heaven, even Immortals, are merely pawns under the laws of the Great Dao.

If Immortals could truly live forever, how could those from billions of years ago have fallen and vanished?

Even in those super Immortal Cultivation worlds in the Outer Realms, the Immortals still alive today are not exempt.

They are on the brink of death, sealing their bodily functions and life span through long slumbers to barely cling to life.
