The woman was instantly shocked, "How is that possible?"
There are a total of forty-nine seats for the Celestial Venerable.
But in the current new universe, only thirty-three seats are filled. They collectively built the order of the new universe, but other Celestial Venerables are still missing.
Over the long years, due to various incidents, they have disappeared. That great battle back then, or other changes, took away the most important rules of the universe, hijacked the Celestial Dao, and vanished to an unknown place...
Thus, the new universe was not constructed completely, with missing parts, and cannot fully swallow the Ancient Cosmos, forming the current hourglass shape, dividing into the upper realm and lower realm like two bubbles.
Though vast, the new universe is not the only one, just the main territory.
There are other Celestial Venerables hiding among the stars of the lower realm or in other cosmic exteriors, creating their own small worlds, called islands...
