Recently, quite a few esteemed readers have said that there are problems with the power-scaling setup. Fei Wen looked into it carefully, and there really are some problems.
The core issue is that this book of mine has simply gone on for too long. I truly never imagined back then that I would be able to write it this long. I underestimated how lengthy it would become and overestimated my ability to control the later stages of such a long story. Still, Fei Wen will definitely keep trying.
Also, after I took more than a year off due to illness and resumed updating, my CPU was seriously overloaded for quite some time, and I wrote quite a few incorrect details into the setting. After being whipped by all of you esteemed readers, I swiftly revised them. Here, I want to thank all of you for your valuable opinions. If you did not genuinely like this book, you would have simply deleted it and abandoned it after spotting problems with the setting. You would not have offered Fei Wen your opinions, or even angrily cursed me a few times.
As for the power scaling, let me explain it to all of you esteemed readers. The Supreme One is the strongest. This was established long ago. He is not even from the ancient era—he comes from an era even, even, even earlier than that. (No further spoilers.)
If Su Xiao advances in a conventional manner, he definitely cannot defeat the Supreme One. All of you esteemed readers are right about that.
So Fei Wen established that Su Xiao would reach the same tier as the Supreme One did. If the final boss can reach it, Su Xiao can as well. That is roughly the idea behind the setting.
