"There is this reason, but do not forget, in our era, such astonishing individuals are rare, but there seem to be quite a few on Source Star, and they all have carved out their own paths. As long as they do not perish prematurely, their achievements will not be lower than ours... So, should I take on a disciple, just to find myself an inheritor? As long as these people are taught earnestly, surpassing you and me is only a matter of time."
Initially, when these Saint Emperors took on disciples, it was to forge relationships; now, however, they genuinely wish to take on a disciple.
Especially those Saint Emperors who still lack successors.
Of course, these Saint Emperors only dare to discuss this in private; none dare to voice it, fearing discontent.
Of course, there are exceptions.
For example, the Yin Yue Saint Emperor.
She has her own faction, yet there is not even a single legitimate inheritor.
