Ying Huaixu had been troubled lately.
That recruitment quest had stalled completely.
He had looked into what it took to complete the quest himself.
It left him speechless.
For the one hundred thousand Ascenders the system quest wanted him to recruit, temperament came first, but their aptitude also had to be absolutely outstanding.
And they could not be the sort who ascended with cheats. They had to be Ascenders who had fought their own damn way up.
Seriously, what was this supposed to accomplish?

As for why they had to be trash...
Because if the spirit veins were even slightly higher in grade, the Ascension Worlds would become small immortal realms.
And the system directly classified the self-contained laws of small immortal realms as unacceptable.

They said ascension was a scam, and
