The Saints retreated into Chaos.
They opened up Dao dojos within the Chaos to safeguard the Great Wilderness Universe, and unless a dire necessity arose, they would never set foot in the Great Wilderness Universe again.
This news—
though never strictly concealed from the very beginning, was not widely circulated either.
News involving beings at the absolute pinnacle—
was something those lacking in strength—
could never catch even a glimpse of.
As for status?
Within the Great Wilderness Universe, status itself was merely a byproduct of strength.
Having achieved the Sub-Sage realm—
alongside a mere handful of Quasi-Sages and Hunyuan Golden Immortals, these were the ones who received the news.
There was no need to verify the truth of the news—
within this Great Wilderness Universe, those with the strength had no interest in spreading rumors, and who without strength would be so daringly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth as to fabricate stories about the Saints?
