"We... old-timers all thought this day would come for you sooner or later, but even Little Chief King, who believed in you the most, never thought he'd see it within twenty years."
When she saw Your Excellency Xiu Yi's avatar again, even she was stunned for a moment.
"...Even Little Chief King hasn't reached this stage." Your Excellency Xiu Yi was also astonished by Lu PingAn's "progress."
That surprised Lu PingAn a little.
"He hasn't reached this stage yet? Not even as a demigod?"
"...Generally speaking, only some demigods reach this stage. It isn't mandatory. In fact, I know some Tier 10s who never took this step even when they were still mortals."
Fully comprehending the essence of one's own life and completing the ascent was the privilege of a very small number of Life-type gifted individuals.
Among top-tier Life-types, it was not an absolute prerequisite. But once a Life-type took this step, its form of life would be completely transformed. It would often become difficult to kill, its evolution would proceed far more smoothly, and its chances of reaching the highest level would greatly increase.
If they skipped this step, they could only complete that qualitative transformation when constructing a divine kingdom. Who knew how long they would have to accumulate strength before reaching the basic threshold for such a transformation?

She was only a part of Your Excellency Xiu Yi's vast existence, just as a lake on Old Liu's island
