The Clan Elder's idea was to preemptively defend; he tried to keep the initiative within the hands of the Jiang family, something that Jiang Li could understand.
Moreover, this also indicated that the value of the Supreme remained substantial; even as the situation changed, in the hearts of the people the Supreme were still the arbiters of the world's order, with every action capable of determining the tides of power.
Compared to the power of the Supreme, the side effects of the Emperor Dao Fruit seemed not so unacceptable.
Such were the thoughts of the Clan Elder.
As long as Jiang Li could assimilate the Emperor Dao Fruit, he could surge ahead and become one of the most eminent figures of the age.
Regrettably, this was not what Jiang Li desired.
