The Abyss, being the Heavenly Dao, has enslaved all Abyss Cultivators for countless years, never considering that someone would plot against it, and naturally could not discover the tricks Gongsun Bai'an was playing inside its body.
After three epochs, while Gongsun Bai'an continuously explored how to extract the World Origin Power, he also, intentionally or otherwise, transferred his Original Law bit by bit into the Abyss's body. What is engaging with Fang Zhi, Zhou Yuzhi, and others outside now is merely an avatar he crafted by expending nearly half of his origin power, along with an Innate Divine Object!
When he saw Liang Yi, Chen Hua, and Su Youyi enter the Land of Rules, and the Abyss turned pale and followed in, he realized the opportunity he had waited for over three epochs might soon arrive.
That's why he blocked Qiu Feng and Xia Kun, to buy time for Liang Yi and the others.
