There was a reason experience from both sides of a problem mattered.
Tai Yu had never been an expert in cultivating the "inner universe." But by looking at Great Monarch Wyatt and Great Monarch Zhi Ping, along with the template provided by Format Theory, he had formed an understanding of his own.
Through the Remote Meeting, he shared that understanding with the other participants.
The results of their exchanges then reached Great Monarch Zhi Ping, Great Monarch Wyatt, and others through projections and other means.
As a result, the flow of information between them kept increasing. That included the two sets of main cards centered on Tai Yu and the Extra Self. Updates were arriving faster, too.
In one sense, this was a good trend.
It proved the two sets of main cards could form more connections. Both sides could gain a deeper, livelier, and more complete understanding of events, their own cultivation, and the laws governing the present spacetime. Together, they could achieve more than either could alone.
But this was the Boundary Curtain region. No matter how they combined their strength, they remained fragile before the God System and the Myriad Gods Hall.
The trend had already begun to erode Tai Yu's independence as an outsider. In practical terms, that was dangerous.
Once he lost that independence, the relationship between Tai Yu and the Extra Self would be even less distinct than the one between Wyatt and Zhi Ping.
Those two, whatever version of an "Inner Universe Grand Monarch" they became, would have an increasingly clear boundary between them.
Between Tai Yu and the Extra Self, however, any connection that took root would only grow closer, fuller, and more complex.
Reason told Tai Yu to cut it off now. Even if that left him blind for a while,
