The landscape changed with time and Yuan Xuelan grew tired of watching the madness in his other self stew.
And instead of overseeing the passage of time like he probably should have, Yuan Xuelan found peace and tranquility elsewhere, not far but out of sight of whatever madness that unraveled due to his alternate self's mental instability.
They were holed up in Wangyung Peak concocting whatever plan that Xuelan had no interest in. He was sick of seeing his other self fall into inevitable despair, with the only reprieve being a yearning desire for something that he didn't and couldn't have.
Whatever. He thought with a scowl.
Yuan Xuelan decided he would only intervene when fate called upon him, when the Celestial Sun Scroll's power forced him into action. He did not wish to be so emotionally invested in what would essentially amount to nothing. For he things he did as his alternate self never had any real consequences on the timeline. Noting he did would change their fates.
