As long as he and Qi "died," their souls could find a way back to the Netherworld.
But this "death" wasn't "death" in the ordinary sense.
They were true gods, with divine status, and in a way, could be considered immortal and indestructible. Even if, like Qi, his Primordial Spirit was damaged, or even completely destroyed—which was equivalent to death—his divine aura would still remain.
Bei Mingyuan's power was unfathomable. As long as their divine auras were present, there was no way to hide from him. And if they couldn't hide from him, how could they traverse the Yellow Springs Road back to the Underworld and see old King Yan? He would definitely intercept them halfway. It would be as foolish as walking right into a trap.
The only way was for him and Qi to "die" together!
