Few people resided in the Cloud Wilderness, while desolate and wild beasts were everywhere. This resulted in many small tribes.
Under such situations, to gather all the small tribes together for an examination needed lots of manpower and resources.
Although the kingdom had a long history, the number of warrior selections held in the vast wilderness could be counted with one hand.
It was needless to say that being born in the vast wilderness was a tragedy. Not only was there a lack of resources, even a prodigy would not be noticed by others. So it was impossible to get ahead in life.
The Tai Ah Divine Kingdom knew that, but nothing could help the situation. Besides the Cloud Wilderness, even some prodigies from the 108 states might be missed!
Over the years, an unknown number of prodigies born in the wilderness had died in vain. They either died from starvation, illness, falling to their deaths while picking herbs or being eaten by beasts.
