Had Nian Junxin been controlling the number of powerful figures in the Nine Profound Domain all along?
With Nian Junxin's strength, she shouldn't have needed to worry about anyone else breaking through to the World King God Realm.
But she only allowed her own people to reach that realm. Everyone else, even those who had chosen to submit to her, was kept from advancing. Why?
