Three years—neither long nor short.

In the original story, after Xiao Yan broke through to Seven-Star Dou Sheng, he received Tou She Ancient God's inheritance and refined that portion of Origin Emperor Qi, leaping from Seven-Star Dou Sheng straight to Dou Emperor.
In other words, he now possessed the qualifications to refine Origin Emperor Qi.
It was simply that he had only just unsealed his bloodline, and his cultivation had risen too quickly. He still needed time to stabilize it.
Otherwise, even if he forcibly broke through to Dou Emperor, he would be ruthlessly suppressed like Soul Heaven Emperor in the original story.
He had no desire to be called the weakest Dou Emperor in history while Cang Yuan bore the title of the strongest.
That would be far too humiliating.

At the same time, it would become a paradise for the Soul Clan and the
