After analyzing the situation and observing Xiao Yaozi and the others, Ling Tian and his companions reached a conclusion: it was incredibly difficult for cultivators to become Saints. In fact, unless the World-Ending Thunder Dragon could recover its peak strength, they had no chance at all. That meant the only way they could become Saints was to defeat the Lord of the Universe and reclaim the portion of the World-Ending Thunder Dragon's Origin Power he had tricked away.
After reaching that conclusion, Destroyer thought of something else: how had the Saints of the past become Saints? Had they all relied on the aid of Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures like the Creation Divine Tree and the World-Ending Thunder Dragon? Clearly, that couldn't have been the case.
It made sense. If the Creation Divine Tree, the World-Ending Thunder Dragon, and the other Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures had really aided other Saints, they would naturally remember them, or at least have some impression of them. They should have known how cultivators could become Saints and what level they had to reach to do so. But the Creation Divine Tree and the others knew nothing about it. Clearly, they had never aided any cultivators on their path to Sainthood.
The fact that cultivators had become Saints without help from the Creation Divine Tree or the World-Ending Thunder Dragon was enough to leave Ling Tian and the others baffled and shocked. If that was really the case, then those cultivators must have possessed extraordinarily powerful Bloodline Power and talent—far surpassing Ling Tian's, perhaps, and certainly far exceeding Xiao Yaozi and the others'.
No one would doubt that some people might have stronger Bloodline Power than Xiao Yaozi and the others. But if someone claimed that a cultivator's Bloodline Power was stronger than Ling Tian's—much stronger, at that—probably
