Because to join the Supreme Spirit Sect, what is required is a "contract" and the related "transformation."
Without an artificial soul, without a shared consensus on revenge and protection, and without having experienced painful death and disaster, such ordinary souls could not become a Deceased Monarch, that is, a part of what is known as "Spirit Gods."
Even so, the number of people wanting to join the Supreme Spirit Sect was countless—almost instantaneously, the Supreme Spirit Sect became the veritable "Fifth Orthodox Church."
But as a price, and as a matter of course for the exalted status of the "Orthodox Church," the Supreme Spirit Sect also disseminated the Spirit Gods' related technology to various major powers.
Just as Ian had guessed, once the technology of the Deceased Monarchs was exposed, it had to be "shared" with other powers.
Reluctant?
