After adapting to initial discomfort, some powerful beings find themselves more in their element. Chaos is a ladder to progress, and they are fully capable of seizing opportunities—like Hao Tian and Tathagata.
Those who are most affected are the experienced strong ones.
They are indeed prone to being overtaken by new versions.
Like Luohou.
A new version brings a new deity; each version diminishes the Devil Ancestor.
Luohou also had his share of bitterness.
The Three Emperors, having not genuinely participated in such fierce competition for countless years, are still in the adaptation phase.
Being long out of battle is inevitable.
However, Empress Nuwa has faith in the Three Emperors.
