For an ordinary Seventh-Tier Star Lord, the chance of breaking through to become an Eighth-Tier Star Lord and enter the Dao Integration Realm was less than one in three.
Even with the aid of "Creation Derivation Path," that success rate had not improved by much. At least, so far, only Xie Lingxu, Liang Ji, and Lou Qianqiu had successfully advanced to become Eighth-Tier Star Lords and entered the Dao Integration Realm.
Among ordinary Seventh-Tier Star Lords, even those who had completed the simulated Dao Integration experiment using "Creation Derivation Path" had yet to successfully advance to become Eighth-Tier Star Lords and enter the Dao Integration Realm.
That alone spoke volumes.
But among those who had completed the Celestial Star Pivot assessment early and gained early access to the Celestial Star Array Diagram, four people, including Liang Ji, had a three-in-four chance of successfully advancing to become Eighth-Tier Star Lords and entering the Dao Integration Realm.
The Star Alliance's higher-ups were naturally well aware of this enormous disparity.
If possible, they, too, would have liked all of the Star Alliance's Seventh-Tier Star Lords to complete the Celestial Star Pivot assessment early and gain early access to the Celestial Star Array Diagram, increasing their chances of breaking through to become Eighth-Tier Star Lords and entering the Dao Integration Realm.
However, completing the Celestial Star Pivot assessment early was no easy feat.
It required not only sufficient merit, but also sufficient strength.
Having taken the assessment several times, Liang Ji understood its requirements well. Merit was relatively easy to deal with: if it benefited the Star Alliance, the higher-ups could simply lower the merit requirement.
But the Star Alliance's higher-ups could not lower the strength requirement.
A Star Lord whose strength had not surpassed the Seventh-Tier level—not even one who had faintly crossed
