```
It was as if the Heavenly Dao was guiding you and giving you a cheat!
Those who followed later, without this blessing, walked the path you took and lacked the blessings when their rank solidified, were destined to be inferior to you, eventually leading to the notion that it was nearly impossible for later generations to surpass their predecessors.
It wasn't that the predecessors occupied your position, but rather that, even with the optimal solutions and preferential treatment, that was as far as one could go.
Therefore, the path you treaded and the rank you solidified, if they were based on someone else's, was destined to be inferior!
That's why Shen Hong held such reverence for understanding new Tao and reason on his own.
Only by doing so could you possibly solidify enough rank when you became an Immortal.
Of course, there's the old saying, 'Fifty of the Great Dao, Heavenly Evolution Forty-Nine, with one escape left,' so nothing is absolute.
