"regarding update
Been a while since I've posted - everything is good! I've been hard at work doing massive changes:
1) Gameplay has been simplified, by a lot. Less bloat, less things that dissociate from the story.

2) Every after-expo fight has been rewritten. A massive amount of stat checks/crit checks/Dao options have been added. High enough Constitution now allows you to shrug off most the damage (and yes, it's reflected narratively and changes the course of the fight), Agility to dodge the impossible and Strength to end fights with just a single blow. There's a big incentive now to 'specialize', since high stats are rewarded.

Moreover, spells now have crits too!

Excluding Arena fights (which I've yet to do), the additions alone increased the word count by about 12k words - that's basically one massive fight by itself.

3) Regarding the timing of the update, I can't say for sure. I still have Arena Fights to redo and 3v3 to rewrite/finish, so it will take a while.

But I promise it will be worth it;)"
Tbh i didnt see anything reflected onto the story. Maybe cuz i only played like two fights. Niki talks about "less things to dissociate from the story".. Interesting, i just talked about that yesterday.

Lol there is question on her becoming shangtian and you are talking about her keeping pace with mc and ruo or surpass them?

Becoming shangtian (expect for mc,ruo and chao) isn't joke. youngest shangtian is he Bojing and he reached There at 300.the time she reaches xiantian mc and ruo will be at peak x level( my calculations may wrong in this one). And in 300 years mc will be way beyond Nancent soul.( i don't think 300 years enough for her). She is still in late houtian. Storywise it would't make sense at all.
My Mc claims he'll reach godhood in 1000 years

I am sorry for this question, but can anyone explain to me what each of the 3 paths gives? I didn't find an answer to this anywhere, but thanks in advance!
Mostly flavor texts in how you deal with your opponents. Body dao bulldoze enemies by enhancing your body and smash them with giant palm constructs, elemental dao uses the right element for the job like shooting wind blade to decapitate enemies or powerful inferno for AOE and turn enemies to ashes, while space dao allows you to teleport around and crush their organs bypassing their defense.

Eventually, they will be combined into one when you unlocked tri dao path. So just pick whatever you want👍🏻

what? both mc and ruo are guaranteed shangtian,didnt say she would surpass them,thats you making assumptions + just cus mc and ruo can enter shangtian,that doesnt automatically make it exclusive for them alone,characters like tigress,su de and long chen will likely reach shangtian also,mc and ruo arent limited by the stage itself hence why i was saying even weaker versions of mc and ruo coulf beat ai in shangtian. and i dont really care if she maxes out at shangtian or px for all i care,my expectations of her reaching shangtian is for her to be somewhat relevant to the story and when i say relevant,not everyone has to be able to fight mc or ruo,just that for example,if the war begins,you would at least expect her to be able to protect herself (even if its for 10 seconds:ROFLMAO:)

I didn't said that shangtian or core formation are exclusive. I said mc and ruo can reach there way faster than anyone in comparison.
I have doubts if she will even reach shangtian.Even if she reaches there that would take lots of time.(considering she will survive that long with her atitude).
Even genius like Yichen propobaly took 3 hundred years of time. Since 300 years is record time for reaching shangtian.
If Ai had to reach there then story would need hundreds years of time skip. I don't think we will have that much time skips.

And no one is attacking Ai if war starts. She is not important enough for that unless she invites trouble herself.

Speaking of clones, I've always wonder whether LC and little DQ had our physique as well? Or only us since we're 100% TW compared to those two who have only a small part of TW's soul? If that's the case, then them somehow getting meridians and a dantain would mean they would be on par to MC and subsequently Ruo. Not to mention them having TW's inheritance and us having jackshit

We're the only ones who have the physique if they got meridians theyd advance faster and become stronger than they are now but i doubt ldq and lc would be on par, lcs only win against us is his insanely fast regen which can stop when his qi/ie is exhausted

They could possibly keep up tho. Physique and Qi are everything we have. We might have the advantage in terms of people helping us by correlating MC to TW but they have their inheritance which will only get stronger the more they advance. Now that i think of it, MC took 20 years to form their dao seed, all the while having their physique from birth. LB says we should have formed it way sooner but didnt. So yeah MC has an advantage in terms of their dao seed.

The only ones who are gonna keep up with us are ruo and caihong, and tang weis inheritance while strong isn't enough to keep up with our dao the difference in power is too much and tbh we shouldn't have even formed the dao seed at all we got lucky our grandpa ****ed up tang weis interference which allowed us to see his memories and gain his enlightenment

They have nothing besides their transcend (I think) arts. Even if they could get meridians and dantians, without our physique their cultivation (ability to absorb qi) and dao comprehension talent would be far lower. Especially it's true for LDQ whose art is about stealing blood purity which is useless for cultivator. And LC honestly not far better, his body talent is pretty mid, even Xiwen and Ruo were able to keep up with him stats wise him. I think with same resources and time for cultivation, MC would dance on them at the same time.

About LB comment. This is either bait to stimulate MC or typical Nicky "MC is loser" nonsense. TW form dao seed sooner than MC only because he was a cultivator in celestial realm, with real teacher who had dao seed himself. And it still took him years for him. MC had literally nothing of this (they even had no idea about qi or dao).

I meant if they had both the physique and Qi. Surely they can keep up with these two. LC reached X by 30 just by spamming TWs inheritance which is op af. Imagine him with our physique and Qi. And he got the inheritance later in his life too. He even became a martial artist way later since he was not from a noble background. I agree that LC is carried by his inheritance, but with the physique and Qi, that would mean he would form dao who knows when. Keep up doesn't necessarily mean he would match MC. TWs memories has to be the reason MC formed dao seed. All it took was 3 dreams, a danger zone which had qi and small comas.

Say, couldn't MC essentially get stronger quickly similar to qi worlds if we get inside danger zones? I have a feeling Niki has plans for something like this.
