Mages could sense more Elements. Assassins would be more agile and better at concealing their presence... Every Profession, when awakened at a young age, would show some kind of remarkable performance, and they would also be more likely to awaken High Tier Talents.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Plus, awakening earlier means embarking on the path of a Professional earlier, giving them a head start in life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, even though such an awakening would cause a backlash to the body, even leading to incurable disabilities and injuries, parents still flocked to the idea, desperate for their children to awaken early.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Incurable disabilities and injuries? Just the thought of it is terrifying.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Forced by their parents...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I guess no matter what world you’re in, there are always obsessive parents willing to sacrifice their own child’s health just to make them famous.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if it were merely injuries and disabilities, that wouldn’t have been enough reason to prohibit early awakenings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Compared to gaining a powerful Talent, such side effects were considered an acceptable price to pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all, with Demons running rampant, being too weak could just as easily lead to being gravely injured by one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh... Suddenly, I can kind of understand where those parents were coming from.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’After all, this world isn’t like the one I came from. Being weak here can actually get you killed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The real reason early awakening was strictly prohibited stemmed from a major research report published by the Life Church thirty years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These children who awakened early, almost without exception, became paranoid and insane after becoming High Level Professionals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They would even become monstrously evil, their personalities changing drastically.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even those who were originally kind-hearted would inexplicably become twisted and malevolent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, everyone assumed they had simply gone through some trauma, or that they had been driven mad by a desire for something like the Demon Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no shortage of obsessive Mages, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...until the report pointed out...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The reason they changed so drastically was that their Spirituality had been contaminated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Initially, the major Kingdoms dismissed the report, believing it to be baseless fear-mongering that wouldn’t have any major impact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Until... three years after the report was issued, a massive blood sacrifice incident occurred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Mage pursuing the Demon Dao, in order to get one step closer to the Root Source and to present a ’satisfactory answer’ for his advancement, chose to complete his research via a blood sacrifice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That blood sacrifice resulted in the deaths of three billion people. Two Kingdoms completely collapsed as a result, and it was deemed the largest-scale evil Sacrifice event of the century.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Subsequent investigations revealed that this Mage was a prodigy who had awakened his Mage Class at the age of nine. Before the blood sacrifice, he had always been known as the benevolent Lord of the Meise Territory.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The incident served as a wake-up call, shocking the surrounding continents and hundreds of Kingdoms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meetings related to the matter were held frequently during that time. One of the most significant resolutions passed was the prohibition of awakening a Profession before the age of sixteen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the incident, those Professionals who had awakened before sixteen and had already reached Level 4 or higher were placed under close observation by the major Kingdoms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Life Church conducted further research into the matter and made significant progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here is what current research has uncovered: The Spirituality of those under sixteen is more powerful, causing them to receive more of the ’gaze’ during the awakening Ritual. This ’gaze’ then unconsciously erodes their souls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the Level of their Profession rises, they become increasingly obsessive on their path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ultimately, their obsession turns them into seekers who will stop at nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In their quest to climb to greater heights, they are capable of committing any inhuman act.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They become the purest of villains.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Cang’s mind reeled as he listened...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So that’s what happened... It seems the rule about not awakening before sixteen wasn’t just pulled out of thin air.
