Taiyi was perplexed, for in the era he lived, the term "Saint" had only recently emerged, symbolizing the supreme position and unmatched power.
At that time, everyone only saw the benefits of becoming a Saint but failed to consider the responsibilities that came with it.
After becoming a Saint, one indeed attained supreme authority and privilege, but freedom was the price to pay.

During the Ancient Era, everyone aspired to achieve sainthood, even figures like Di Jun, who held sovereignty over Heaven and Earth, could not resist the allure. But after the Ancient Era, fewer sought to become Saints.
Because the lack of freedom associated with being a Saint had, over the years, been witnessed by countless Great Divine Transcendents.
