Chapter 1130: Obedient
Given the Jackal God’s strength and the sheer number of beast gods gathered in the hall, Eugene should not have had any chance of ascending to godhood in the first place.
Beastmen Plane had already hit its saturation point for divine influence over a hundred thousand years ago.
Every new beast god meant fiercer competition with older, more established deities for limited resources.
Unlike the Magus World, where the number of Rank Four and above knights and mages continued to grow steadily, the number of higher-ranking beings in allied planes had remained stagnant for ages.
It was not because those worlds lacked talent, but because there simply was no more space left at the top.
One could say there was already a donkey in every stall.
Paired with scarce resources, this bottleneck had caused development across many planes to level off into a plateau.
Of course, some believed this stagnation was no accident, but the result of subtle manipulation by Magus World itself.
Magus World mages, with their sharp minds and precise calculations, had long since determined the optimal number of Rank Four entities each plane could sustain.
They prized “balance” above all—more specifically, checks and balances.
After all, too many high-level beings within the alliance were not necessarily good for the long-term development of the Magus Civilization, which held the true reins of power behind the scenes.
