Chapter 697 opens with a discussion of how it is possible that humans are just part of a universe that is ruled by a saint. This is because the universe is the "powerhouse" of the inner universe, and there are other beings that are more powerful than the gods. These beings are called "saints" because they are known to be the ones who rule the universe. The children of heaven are the only ones who can surpass the heavens and become gods. Under normal circumstances, they would not have been able to do this, but hua-tianming has figured out that a saint can escape the curses of death and live as long as a true god does. If a saint is on the brink of death, then there is no reason why he can't resist the true gods. True gods are above the heavens, and the only way to resist them is to train the children to fight against them. They have enough time to train these children, but they are underestimating the power of the sky clan. The ancient shamans have arrived, and they have already killed one of the children of heavens. The child of heaven has already died, so they will ask the hevenlord to resurrect him.
