Honestly I wouldn't be mad if it wasn't for the way everyone else is evolving, shouldn't becoming a xiantian take an average ma, like 50-100 years?
Then why do we have air reaching peak houtian at the same time with us?
Honestly I'd say tw coma bs was just a ruse to keep us weak so niki wouldn't have to introduce new ros
And the worst thing is that ruo is late houtian, but at the end of book 1 would be xiantian level like us
Ruo explicitly said he'll be shangtian in 70-100 years and now ?
Ruo can be shangtian in 50 years the way in seeing things
