Any system, after undergoing the test of time, would inevitably form a rigid framework and numerous branches that upheld it.
Within this framework, unless an individual's strength was heaven-defying, they had to adhere to its rules, making it nearly impossible to shake those supporting branches.
After all, the branches that composed this framework were themselves figures of considerable power.
Moreover, these branches often represented the accumulation of dozens, hundreds, or even more generations of consolidation, forming factions that had become an integral part of the system's rules.
In the Fifth Star Ring, the eleven Heaven's Beyonds were the largest branches of this framework.
Within these Heaven's Beyonds existed countless forces, which acted simultaneously as the protectors, beneficiaries, and integral parts of the framework.
