"One day..."
Hearing the Great Truth Dao Master's words, Li Xian could imagine that scene.
Dao Ancestors were a finite stock.
The reason the Dao Ancestors could still maintain that terrifying balance was that the Three Thousand Great Daos had not yet all been claimed.
Once the Three Thousand Great Daos were all claimed, and those Primordial Unity Limitlessness Great Luo Golden Immortals could no longer refine a Great Dao and become Dao Ancestors...
There would inevitably be an uprising!
Either the Dao Ancestors would begin venturing into the Forty-Nine Origins' Great Daos.
Or...
Those who had cultivated to become Primordial Unity Limitlessness Great Luo Golden Immortals but failed to become Dao Ancestors would rise in revolt, slay Dao Ancestors, and take their places. That outcome was inevitable in a struggle over a fixed stock.
In fact...
Something quickly occurred to Li Xian. "Top-Tier Golden Immortals have to use Xiantian Supreme Treasures to practice the Three Corpses Severing Method to become Great Powers? And Xiantian Supreme Treasures... are almost all in the hands of Dao Ancestors? They're using this to control the number of Great Powers?"
The Great Truth Dao Master glanced at Li Xian, not expecting him to connect these matters so quickly.
"Then, in today's world, the Dao Ancestors deliberately granting Dao Lords a higher status than ordinary Golden Immortals..."
"That's related too. It counts as preparing for rain before it falls, but it isn't urgent yet. After all, there are still quite a few vacant Dao Ancestor positions."
The Great Truth Dao Master smiled. "Besides, Dao Masters can venture into the Chaos Void and bring more resources to the world, creating growth. Who knows when they might find a better direction and break the deadlock facing all Dao Ancestors?"
Hearing this, Li Xian gradually calmed down as
