Li Aozi followed Merid down the mountain, smiling, with an air of everything being under control.
[As expected, as expected indeed!]
The situation with Zhi Xiang was actually quite easy to explain. It did not truly disdain or loathe human life. On the contrary, it cared very much for the life of these mundane beings, perhaps more so than Li Aozi or any human leader.
However, for some reason, Zhi Xiang seemed unable to resist the Void, or in other words, it could not take care of every life under the invasion of the Void. Its dispersal of Substance Rain inadvertently took more lives.
In the end, it found that the people of the Dragon Satellite, even without its help, were actively saving themselves and often fighting against the Substance Rain it painstakingly brought down.
This kind of well-intentioned but poorly executed action resulting in disaster was quite common in history. The more one tried to protect everyone, the more one ended up having to end some people's lives.
