She had five activated godheads, but only four Supreme Metacs left the wreckage of her body after she initiated suicide. Only the Truth Supreme Metac, Illusion Supreme Metac, Perception Supreme Metac, and Deceit Supreme Metac left her true body. The Seer Supreme Metac was sacrificed to allow her to make her getaway.
Scattering their godheads was something every Dao Lord could do in times of danger. It was the main reason Dao Lords were hard to kill permanently. It was also what Heavenly Eye meant when she mentioned having nine lives.
Unless a barrier or force field prevented their Supreme Metacs from escaping, every Dao Lord would choose to scatter their Supreme Metacs for a chance at life.
