Hope Beyond One's Tier

The Star Spirit was the key that set Star Lord cultivators apart from other cultivators. Thus, the Star Spirit Primordial Embryo nurtured by a perfected Fourth-Tier Star Lord marked the beginning of transcendence.

However, even after reaching perfection at the fourth tier, and even after advancing to become a Fifth-Tier Star Lord, the Star Spirit nurtured by a Star Lord's Natal Star remained in its Primordial Embryo state. It was insubstantial and weak, and the combat power it could display and the role it could play were limited.

For the most part, it remained within the Natal Star, operating some of the Natal Star's Origin, treasures, and other assets to support the Star Lord in battle.

Just as back on the Void Sea battlefield, Liang Ji had seen Senior Sister Bian Yujiao, Senior Chen Zhao, and the other Fifth-Tier Star Lords summon the Deification List nurtured within their Natal Stars to fight and kill.

There was no doubt that they could do this because the Star Spirit Primordial Embryos nurtured within their Natal Stars assisted them in battle.

That was why Fourth-Tier Star Lords of Kunlun Star Palace could only wield projections of the Deification List in battle, while Fifth-Tier Star Lords could wield the Deification List itself.
