Success would mean ascending to the heavens in one leap, while failure would see the accumulations of thousands of years go down the river.
So, should they attempt it or not? For these first-rate forces, it was actually a difficult question to decide.
After careful consideration, most of the first-rate forces with the qualifications to take the gamble chose to follow suit, for if they missed this opportunity, the future would be even more difficult, and it was uncertain if they would encounter such a rare opportunity again.
Of course, for those first-rate forces that gave up, their choice was not necessarily wrong, because they still had the opportunity to follow after the ascension of heaven and earth, albeit a step slower. As long as they persisted, there was still a slim possibility of catching up.
