As for Sequence 8, it depends on personal opportunities and efforts. Sequence 9 is God's favor, which is rare to find among millions of people. It requires talent, will, struggle, opportunity, etc. to break through oneself and reach the perfect state.

The Church is the largest organization in the Western Continent besides the country. It has countless extraordinary people under its command, including three Sequence 9s in public. In secret, according to many people's speculation, there should be 1-2 more Sequence 9s with the same combat power.

The reason they joined the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua was because of the situation. Several surrounding countries had joined, and if they did not join, they would be isolated. In addition, 70% of the church members came from the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, and the will of most members also influenced the subsequent decision-making. Finally, the Xuehua Union was established.
