Han Jue's (TTP) - Immeasurable Merit Divine Might Heavenly Sage

Mine would be Jade Beauties. A 100 Billion Concubines

I'm thinking Han Jue from Top Tier Providence would immediately panic upon learning that all these verses exist within the Larger cosmos, especially if some of their MCs are as strong as or stronger than him. He'd probably go straight into another ridiculously long seclusion to cultivate, while cursing the shit out of any MC who even remotely poses a threat to his verse.

What's the reason behind this?

So I've been thinking about how genuinely fucked up cultivation worlds are, and not in the usual "a rogue cultivator could blow up your city" way. Everyone already knows that part. It's something darker that I don't really see people talk about.

Basically, in any cultivation verse, if you follow the logic all the way out, someone eventually reaches the top. Like the actual top. Given enough time, a million years, a billion, whatever, someone claws their way up the ladder and becomes the supreme being of the whole cosmology. Control over the Dao, life and death, space and time, all of it. That's not really a maybe, it's just how these worlds are built. There's a peak, so eventually somebody is standing on it.

And the thing that gets me is that getting to the top has nothing to do with being a good person. It's all luck and ruthlessness. Right fortuitous encounter, right bloodline, surviving the right tribulation. Morality was never part of the requirements. So we're honestly just lucky that in most of the stories we read, the guy who makes it is the MC, someone who's at least trying to be decent.

But there's no rule saying it has to be the MC. Sooner or later, in some verse somewhere, the person who reaches the absolute peak is a young master.

You know the type. The arrogant psycho who kills mortals for looking at him wrong, takes whatever he wants, treats everyone below him like they're not even people. We've read that character a hundred times as the villain the MC has to put down. Now imagine that guy just won. Got the lucky encounter, survived everything, climbed all the way up. And now he owns reality.

Say you're just some random dude, a nobody in a small sect, and way back before he was anyone, you crossed him. Maybe your sect was above his and you beat his ass. Maybe you took the girl he wanted. Maybe you just talked shit and forgot about it the next day. For you it was nothing. He didn't forget though.

Fast forward and you've spent 200 years grinding just to hit Foundation Establishment. You've barely gotten anywhere. Meanwhile this guy, through his encounters and his control over time, is now a hundred billion years ahead of you. And one day he's bored, remembers your face, and comes down from his Multiversal domain to deal with you personally.

And what does revenge even mean for something like that? You can't fight him. You can't run because he controls space and time. You can't even kill yourself to get out of it, because he controls life and death, he'll just bring you back and do it again. In a lot of verses these beings control existence and nonexistence itself, so finding a way to erase yourself from existence is pointless. There's no floor to how bad it can get, because he's the one who decides what the worst thing that can happen to you even is.

And it gets even worse if you're a woman in a world like that. Think about the Jade Beauty angle. This guy is sitting at the edge of existence, bored one day, scanning through the multiverse he owns, every timeline, every planet, and he just picks out whoever he wants. Then he descends on some random world and takes her, and there is nothing she can do to refuse a being like that. We already know how the young master archetype treats women in normal stories, they're straight up predators. Now it's that same predator except he owns every woman in existence and no power in the cosmos can tell him no.

That's the part that actually messes with me. Take the worst kind of person that already exists IRL right now, some predator with zero conscience, and scale him up to the top of a multiverse. One bad dude who happened to get lucky, now sitting at the peak of everything, able to do whatever he wants to anyone, FOREVER.

And Why was breaking it the only choice? Couldn't he have chosen a future where it didn't exist?

Bleach VS OPM

I've always found it a little unfair that the Monarch of Shadows is the only Monarch with such an obvious way to continuously grow stronger through Shadow Extraction.

For example, can the Monarch of Destruction create more dragons? Does destroying things actually make him stronger? Can prolonged wars or massive destruction trigger some kind of growth for him?

The same question applies to the other Monarchs. Do they have their own ways of increasing their power, or are their abilities and power basically static?

Because if their power is static while the Shadow Monarch can continuously increase his army and power by raising more shadows, it kinda feels like the Monarchs were destined to lose eventually.

I haven't read Ragnarok, so I'm wondering if this was ever properly explained there, or if I missed something from the original story.

And many more not included above.

The beam will reach the planet in 24 hours, giving everyone time to prepare.

The goal is to save the planet by any means necessary:

• Destroy the beam.
• Deflect or redirect it.
• Block it.
• Teleport or hax it away.
• Any other method that prevents it from destroying the planet.

Verses:

• Bleach (Soul Society)
• Naruto
• Dragon Ball's Earth (Pre-Namek)
• Fairy Tail
• One Piece
• Jujutsu Kaisen
• My Hero Academia
• Yu Yu Hakusho
• One-Punch Man (No Saitama, Blast or CF Garou)
• Invincible (Planet Viltrum)
• Black Clover

Explain why and provide example verses.

Scenario 1: It's the real world. You are not a cultivator and can't cultivate, but you get the benefits of your chosen cultivation system. You can level it up through daily achievements, quests, or whatever progression system that verse uses.

Scenario 2: You get the full cultivation system and become a cultivator. However, Random gooners on Earth also gets to choose a cultivation system from any other manhua/Xianxia story. From day one, everyone knows other system users exist and can hunt each other down. The goal is to kill your competition before they become too powerful.

Which cultivation system are you choosing, and why?

Keep it simple.

Scale your favorite verse using feats only. No statements, no databooks, no guidebooks, no fan calculations, and no overly complicated explanations.

Just use what has actually been shown on-screen or on-panel. Where does your verse realistically scale based purely on its demonstrated feats?

So essentially, at what cultivation level do cultivators no longer have to worry about aging and gain true immortality? They have an infinite lifespan and will live forever naturally, but they can still be killed.

Post the cultivation level where this happens, along with the previous level and its lifespan. If the previous level's lifespan is unknown, just give your best estimate.

For example: Apotheosis

True God - Infinite Lifespan
Heavenly Venerable - 300 million years

Forget about universes, multiverses, and everything beyond. Just regular planets/worlds, the place where most stories begin and end.

It's kind of crazy to think that for some characters, casually launching a single attack is enough to wipe out an entire world and end the story right then and there.
