"That might be true," Cursed Reality declared. "Your sole existence is an interesting flaw. You ignore the limits of the ranks more than others, and your influence can make your companions achieve similar results."
"But all of that takes time to show clear results," Emperor continued. "You can touch our realm, but you can't defeat us. Waiting until you get a bit stronger is the best path."
"I won't ignore the bet," Noah stated. "Your words make sense, but I didn't get so far by being reasonable. You might have forgotten how the cultivation journey works, but I didn't. I have to face dangers to improve."
"That's the issue, isn't it?" Queen asked. "The higher plane doesn't have dangers anymore. There is only Heaven and Earth now."
Noah wasn't unaware of that problem. The issue was the main reason behind the travel to the Labyrinth. The death of the life dragon, the state of the higher plane, and the lack of other areas to explore created a grim scene devoid of opportunities.
