After Master Tongtian explained the Conferment of Gods Tribulation in detail to his disciples one by one, he instructed Zhao Gongming, "Pass the word down. Once the Conferment of Gods Tribulation begins, all disciples are to enter seclusion and cultivate. No one is allowed to go out casually."
Zhao Gongming quickly bowed and agreed. As the eldest senior brother of the outer sect, managing the outer sect disciples was his duty. If fewer people were to end up on the list, it would be a good thing for him as well.
Although the matter of the Conferment of Gods was initially known only to a few Heavenly Dao Saints and their direct disciples, it later spread among various Quasi-Sage mighty figures. While various major factions were heatedly discussing the Conferment of Gods Tribulation, decades quietly passed.
