"A living star?"
"Almost dead."
"Not necessarily."
"Ninety-nine percent dead, leaving just a breath of life. It's fortunate, really. It fell from a star and didn't completely perish, but what's left is hardly a big deal to us."
"Will you make the first move?"
"Why don't you start."

The two exchanged glances and began to retreat with tacit understanding.
Facing a Celestial Immortal, even one nearly dead, was not a foolish risk they were willing to take.
A near-dead Celestial Immortal is still a Celestial Immortal; who knows what terrifying tricks they might have hidden up their sleeve.
In this situation, they were willing to let others take the risk, but not themselves.
Sure enough.
As the two continued to retreat, something within the planet began to awaken slowly. Just as they were about to completely leave the Star Domain, they heard a crisp male voice in their ears.
"No need to leave, I'm no longer a threat to you."
