Why can't more perfect True Immortals be born...? It was possible just a few years ago!
[Some ancient beings discovered many strange things. They recalled that many years ago, before the Dao Lord was fully born, perfect True Immortals could be born continuously.]
[For example, when there were only eight Dao Lords, one only needed to cultivate 24,000 systems, which involved eight types of authority, and have an average Dao Seal quality of nine points, to become a Perfect True Immortal upon breaking through to the seventh realm.]
Upon closer reflection, they realized something was amiss.
"A long time ago, at most, the Sixth Realm could only condense one Dao Seal, and then it was only required to involve the authority of the Nine Great Dao Sovereigns?"
"Yes, it seems like at some point, the level cap for the Six Realms was raised to the Heavenly Realm... But I remember that the Tenth Dao Lord hadn't been born yet!"
[Some people who had already become perfect True Immortals were fine, as their perfect Dao Fruits were not destroyed. But those who had already cultivated to the 30,000th Heaven when the Tenth Dao Lord disappeared, and who met the requirements to advance to the Seventh Realm...]
[Our level has dropped! We've lost dozens, even thousands, of levels out of nowhere!]
[There are also some people whose past experiences have been altered, causing the quality of many of their Dao Seals to drop from 10 points to 6 points, as if something is missing.]
[Even more unfortunate individuals, who were already assembling their Dao Fruits, discovered that the fruit was incomplete after being more than halfway through, and that many of the subsequent Dao Seals were also missing. Ultimately, they failed and perished.]
Yun Shou: "..."
He sensed something was wrong.
If the existence of the ancient Dao Lord was truly erased from time, or if the other party actively separated themselves from time, then... then it shouldn't be as shown in the simulator.
After the Tenth Dao Lord disappeared, those people shouldn't have felt anything unusual, because they were already in a changed time and space!
They shouldn't have started to have doubts only after the Tenth Dao Lord disappeared; they should have felt strange when the Tenth Dao Lord was first born, instead of suddenly waking up much later!
To put it in an easy-to-understand analogy, it would be like if someone in the 21st century traveled through time, killed Cao Cao, made Liu Bei emperor, unified the country, and thus changed all subsequent events.
So, in this shifting timeline, everyone in the Eastern Han Dynasty would have felt bewildered at the time, thinking, "Oh no, how did Cao Cao suddenly die?" Then, as time flows into the 21st century, Cao Cao's assassination remains an unsolved mystery.
Historians seek the truth, but no one is surprised by Cao Cao's death because in their minds, "Liu Bei becoming emperor" is the correct history.
Furthermore, due to Cao Cao's death, a host of eras changed. There might not have been the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, nor Li Bai and Du Fu. In the brand new 21st century, the entire human race on Earth has been transformed, textbooks are different, and even the international situation may have changed.
But--
The scenario depicted in the simulator is more like someone who travels through time and kills Cao Cao, and when he returns to his own time, he finds that almost nothing has changed!
He discovered that his neighbors next to his house were still the same neighbors, that his teacher was still the same teacher, and that the world after Cao Cao's death still existed, including the original stars, the original dynasty, and even himself.
Then, when he traveled back in time, everyone suddenly slapped their foreheads and exclaimed, "Oh dear! There's something fishy about Cao Cao's death! How come we, and all the ancient people of the past thousand years, didn't notice this?"
Some people noticed something was wrong through small details: when writing their name on paper, they subconsciously wrote Zhang Xiaoming, but their ID card clearly stated Wang Xiaoming!
He then wondered, "I think my original surname was Zhang, and my given name was Zhang Xiaoming. How did I suddenly become surnamed Wang?"
Wang Xiaoming pulled out his family's very detailed genealogy and finally found the truth: "Let me check... Oh, the genealogy shows that this is normal, because after Liu Bei became emperor, it caused various butterfly effects."
“500 years ago, only one female ancestor of my Zhang family survived and married into the Wang family, so I took the surname Wang. If Cao Cao hadn’t died back then, maybe my Zhang family wouldn’t have had any problems, and I would still have the surname Zhang.”
"Oh, I see!" Wang Xiaoming exclaimed in sudden realization. "No wonder I have the surname Wang now; it's because time and space have been altered!"
Yes, it's that absurd.
After the Tenth Dao Lord disappeared and its traces were erased, many people realized that the past had been changed. They could all feel that there was a lost era in civilization, a severed past!
As members of the group being changed, they shouldn't have been able to perceive this!
Yun Shou didn't know why the former Dao Lord would leave such a huge loophole. It was one thing to leave behind some remnants of the old universe, but the past he changed seemed to be more like erasing his own traces rather than resetting all the time and space he had experienced.
"Is it because the Dao Lord is suppressing things in the later timelines, and he can't completely change them?"
"Anyone related to the Dao Lord, or even just someone the Dao Lord knows, will be subject to an unshakeable rule?"
"Or perhaps there are other reasons..."
[Having finally found a Daoist master with astonishing seniority, you continue your investigation and learn of an ancient secret that could never be passed down in the world.]
[Void, world, destiny, matter, energy, all things, proportion, past, information, present.]
This is the order in which the ten Dao Lords were born.
