The only good news was that the Cosmic Race really did give people opportunities. They would not kill off a black-slave True Immortal just as he was about to reach the limit; otherwise, over such unimaginably long years, they could never keep it hidden from everyone else.
Moreover, although it looked on the surface as though the various Cosmic Races treated the True Immortals beneath them as black slaves and cannon fodder, those who fought and labored for them would not suffer permanent damage because of it. They merely needed to accumulate contributions over a long period of time.
In the membrane-wall wars connecting different universes, True Immortals who died in battle could be given a chance to revive, and the price of revival was quite low. Some revivals were even free...
The Cosmic Races often escorted their old generals and old ministers into the True Tier, congratulating them on their triumphant return.
In short, working under the Cosmic Race would definitely be far, far easier in the end than becoming a Cosmic Lord in the Boundless Sea of Void, annexing universes, and gathering 26.999 billion Dao Principles on your own.
Otherwise, those True Immortals were not idiots. They became black slaves only to reach the ultimate faster. If they were truly getting the short end of the stick, they could simply leave this region through the Void Gate and find somewhere in the Boundless Sea of Void to become their own boss...
"Come to think of it, becoming a complete Cosmic Lord is nowhere near as easy as I initially thought."
After asking around for information, you thought to yourself.
You had originally believed that once you entered the Land of Origin, you could comprehend those universal Dao Principles and gradually grow into a complete Cosmic Lord.
