Upon further investigation into the matter, it was found that a certain clan under the protection of the Asuran battle kingdom from the lower realm was responsible.
It was also found that the increase in the number of geniuses from the lower realm joining the asuran kingdom is due to the same clan.
The fact that such a clan could influence the going's of the upper realms was very unsettling causing a lot of tension in the upper realms.
Some thought it was the beginnings of a coup De tat while others an invasion from the demons, either way the fact that it happened under their noses pissed them off as ascenders were viewed as backwater Bumpkin's whose only value was to carryout the work of slaves and cleaners.
This view point was further upturned when it was found that the levels of progression in alchemy, array,blacksmith and even cultivation it's self had not only caught up to them but had started surpassing it.
This didn't mean that the lower realm was stronger than the upper realms, rather the lower realm had perfected every facet of life in the lower realm from peasants to the highest levels of cultivation at void shattering realm and showed signs of even perfecting the earth immortal realm.
To put it more clearly the peasants of a simple kingdom were eating better than some of the generals of an empire.
These were the rumors being tossed around in taverns in the upper realms and yet however fanciful the jokes became, some lo ranking members of the clans and sects started descending even at risk of heavenly punishment by heavenly dao.
This was further exasterbated by the fact that the lower realm had figured out a way to increase the amount of spiritual qi in the lower realm which meant that it could finally start supporting the earth immortal realm.due to this achievement the heavenly dao finally made a public announcement in over two million years without one.
Written in golden font and ecsuding a dormi the myriad species.
"The achievement of the Faust clan is truly worthy of praise as s new way to regenerate the energy has been found allowing for more resources. These shall be recorded in the grand daos book of history never to be erased"
Hearing these words sent many waves both in the lower and upper realm as the Major power s were seeking to steal the research of the Faust clan .Even some of the elders of the Asuran battle kingdom suddenly started acting more and more aggressive towards the clan especially when news about Alex Faust possessing a special body that could allow him to divine heavenly secrets.this was the straw that broke the camels back.
No one could be trusted and tensions rose to the extent that many void shattering realm and half step earth immortals were afraid to ascend as news of kidnappings started to reach them.
This became even clearer when their expansion halted at fifty six percent as they finally found out about the backing provided by other kingdoms from the upper realms.

In aplace warded off heavily from divination a clan meeting was being held.
