I've changed the Dou Sheng realm again. It is now divided into only three minor realms: First Level Dou Sheng, Second Level Dou Sheng, and Third Level Dou Sheng... The names are a bit slapdash.
This is mainly to speed up the pacing and finish the book sooner. Otherwise, with nine stars in the Dou Sheng realm, how long would it take Little Yezi to slowly level up?
So some arcs will be cut as well. Those arcs are not relevant to the bigger picture anyway. This book has already dragged on for a long time, so I plan to speed things up as much as possible and finish it earlier.
Also, in the original work, the division of the Dou Sheng realm really was far too drawn out. Among the top sects of the Central Plains, only a few Half Saints, One-Star Dou Shengs, and Two-Star Dou Shengs held things together. The three great Magical Beast Families also had no high-level Dou Shengs, only low-star Dou Shengs. The Soul Clan and Ancient Clan were so much stronger than the other Ancient Eight Clans that it was hard to understand how they could be ranked alongside one another...
So I adjusted the Dou Sheng realm. Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, Xiao Xuan, and Zhu Kun are definitely at the peak of Third Level Dou Sheng. The slightly weaker clan leaders of the Lightning Clan and Yan Clan also possess Third Level Dou Sheng strength. Then the Dou Shengs who appeared in the Central Plains—Heavenly Flame Venerable, Yougu, the Flower Sect Dou Sheng, and the Burning Flame Valley Dou Sheng—are all at First Level Dou Sheng.
That's about it...
