The death of the Great Heavenly Venerate raised the threat level of Jiang Li to its peak, and the subsequent sealing of Emperor Xi was enough to shake hearts. Underestimating Jiang Li's threat is akin to joking with one's own life.
Moreover, the talk of changing the past ultimately remains theoretical and might not even be foolproof in theory. If Emperor Xi speaks, the Queen Mother of the West might hold some belief, but the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan might not.
As for Shakyamuni Tathagata, judging from his previous collaboration with the Great Venerable, this one might still want the Yellow Emperor's plan to succeed.
But according to Emperor Yan, even if it succeeds, it's merely creating a separate stream that has no impact on the present and is of no benefit to Shakyamuni Tathagata. Who knows what he truly intends by getting involved?
