In the Multiverse, there is always a saying: below the level of Great Luo, as long as you have enough talent, you can cultivate step by step.
But after reaching Great Luo, every advancement means you will pay a hundredfold effort and... opportunity.
In fact, sometimes opportunity is even more important than effort.
Therefore, while the Great Luo Powerful Ones are numerous in the Multiverse, Immortal King powerful ones are relatively scarce.
And this is only the Immortal King.
Most Immortal Kings in the Multiverse have no hope of advancing further for their entire lives, not for lack of effort, but lack of opportunity.
That is why the Abyssal Master was willing to become a pawn for certain existences, just to advance even half a step to the fake Half-step Immortal Emperor.
In the end, people even came up with a theory that there is a constant number of Immortal Emperors in the Multiverse.
