If he didn't know what the Master of Cang Gui was up to, he might have actually believed the other party's lies.
Indeed.
After the civilization warfare ended, the Master of Cang Gui did not intend to harvest the territory space of the Mountain and Sea Realm. However, he did propose that he should go to the relics of a 2.9-level Civilization, pretending it was because of his high talent so as to help retrieve a treasure. It seemed beneficial to him, but in reality, the relics of that 2.9-level Civilization had been modified by the Star Abyss Monarch!
Once he entered, even the Three Holy Land Ancestors could not arrive through space-time to save him. He would be ambushed inside by the Primordial Emperor and the Star God, effectively ending his path to becoming a Chaos God.
Of course.
