Those two had finally earned recognition as Overlords. They had at last broken through to that level, and during this time, their worlds had also begun preparing to evolve into seven-star worlds.
This was an absolute milestone.
Once they reached seven-star status, they would begin taking part in the higher-level battles of this world.
Of course, most importantly, the improvement to their origins would enormously increase the potential of every living being in their worlds.
The Demon Emperor was genuinely happy for them.
Once they had evolved into seven-star worlds, could eight-star worlds still be far away?
Qingpingzi also brought the Demon Emperor even better news.
He had cultivated a successor. The Clearwater Way now had another Super Overlord.
The newly ascended Super Overlord had fused with the world's Great Dao, gaining an undying nature as well as the protection of world power.
With that, they no longer had to fear invasions by those copies.
"As expected of an eight-star world. Cultivating a Super Overlord is actually so easy. Then why didn't you cultivate one sooner?"
The Demon Emperor voiced the question on his mind.
Qingpingzi laughed heartily, then said with a hint of embarrassment, "Who doesn't have a little selfishness? Why cultivate someone powerful enough to compete with you for power and profit?"
His words brought sudden understanding to the Demon Emperor. It was not that these eight-star worlds could not cultivate Super Overlords. Quite the opposite: precisely because no one could compete with them, they did not want anyone to compete with them.
That was why they deliberately suppressed these Overlords.
If someone could seize the momentum and break through, that was naturally a good thing.
They would not stop that from happening.
But if no one could break through, they would not deliberately help them advance, either.
