Actually, the core idea of this academic hypothesis is that energy cannot be generated from nothing, not even by the Divine Spirits.
They can directly create a life form, but the energy consumed to create this life form is not created by the Divine Spirits themselves but drawn from the world.
This hypothesis was heavily criticized by many cultivators at the time, who believed the proposer to be a heretic, having abandoned faith in the Divine Spirits, a blasphemy against them.
After all, most cultivators.
more or less, have faith in one of the Seven Gods.
Until the modern era, a thousand years after entering the Era of Radiance, this theory is still not recognized by the majority.
However, Baiyu feels that there should be some truth in it.
That is why the Divine Spirits strictly control the number of those given a name; they can only be few, not many, because being named by the Divine Spirits is equivalent to receiving a portion of their power.
Once too many are named.
