I think this is all very stupid. Why didn’t Rui just say he has a personal life and death grudge with one of the masters on his evaluation council. He wanted to avoid her anyways. The foundation must have rules for this. After all, many of its members must have grudged and fought each other. And it doesn’t seem like an organization that would ignore such concerns. Would be a blatant abuse of power over masters who it’s meant to represent.
Pretty cool idea
Quite dislike this whole recent theme about lacking "experience". While sure he definitely should lack experience compared to other martial masters, after all he's a new martial master. I do not feel he should lack significantly compared to other seniors. Afterall the complexity of battles rise greatly as ones realm does. His years as a godly senior and now master should be like gold compared to copper. Far more valuable. I also dislike it because it just doesn't make that much sense. His entire adaptive evolution is supposed to analyze and tell him the best action. While I can see the argument his models are a little unprepared for account for martial minds which also have an element of adaptive evolution, it should not be that extreme since his martial path is literally adaptive evolution and he has a martial mind an order of magnitude greater than other masters. Would much prefer if the lack of "experience" thing was a minor reason he was not fully effective against martial masters and the bigger reason being the lack of techniques that he can pare together, something which would make much more sense given the martial mind literally unlocks ones ability to use many more active techniques as once.
Likely it weakens their own domestic defense too much. Sage still take a few moments to travel cross continent even when going all out. Just imagine how much damage an enemy sage could inflict in those moments
"The distance between the four Sage-level powerhouses is absolutely enormous," Emperor Rael remarked. "The distance between us and the other Sage-level powerhouse across the continent is even larger. In other words, it is deeply impractical for them to wage war against us over such vast expanses. That is why the Kandrian Empire has never been involved in conflicts with the Virodhabhasa Theocracy or the Solaris Kingdom in West Panama."

Yeah, weird logic kind of. While life certainly could be drastically different, the only form of life we know of is on earth. Thus it’s not weird to assume the majority of life may appear on worlds very similar to ours.
"Just so, young inheritor." The Divine Doctor nodded with a hint of appreciation. "Thus, it is highly likely that this specimen has an innate adaptability and survivability that is nigh unprecedented within our world. Perhaps the only creature that can match it as far as adaptive evolution goes is the Abyssfeeder. The only other possibility is that its native alien world is extremely similar to ours, within ten percent of a perfect match. But such a scenario is astronomically unlikely. Thus, it was unlikely."

I guess this is the end. While this novel had some flaws - namely the cultivation system was a bit messy/unclear with power levels being too variable - it was also super interesting and I enjoyed both the concept the MC pursued for power as well as how his system worked. Too bad. Genuinely hope all is well for Author and he will someday return.
Why nephi?
She opened them as her powerful gaze bore deep into Rui's eyes. "You shall bear responsibility for any and everything that is to ensue. Remember that, Prince Rui Quarrier Silas Kandria."

Battle of four princes now. The saintly one. Rajak. And Raijun (the martial squire one). Though I can only imagine Raijun will mostly lose his support since the martial union would rather support Rui than him besides the most extreme supremacists among them. All the others are already checkmated by Rui
Idk… really finding this recent stuff quite distasteful. He can just say 1) she tried to kill/imprison me (a squire then) as a master. Something if I recall is against the federations rules. 2) attest it was just two tier 10 techniques that he didn’t know would act that way. And 3) she provoked him by taunting him about event number 1. With a martial sages insight she’ll know all this is truth. While this wouldn’t necessarily acquit him, it wouldn’t make sense for this to not massively downgrade his crimes. The federation must have a highly functional set of rules with plenty of consideration and readonability to allow all martial masters to submit to its rules. Just feels forced. But then again, so does Rui’s loss of control. I know it’s part of “finding himself”. But it’s really quite different than the way he’s been portrayed the rest of the novel. Will be kind of disappointing if finding yourself is just an excuse to let MC stir up a bunch of trouble… Anyways love the novel still. Just some mild complaints with the recent plot
