All races with powerful bloodlines face a common issue in the Heavenly Realm, which is that after prolonged reproduction, the bloodline gradually degrades unless during this period, a new Heavenly Venerate emerges to reactivate the entire clan's bloodline.
But that is almost an impossible event; a Heavenly Venerate is rare even in tens of thousands of years.
Besides, there is another way to slow down bloodline degradation, which is the sudden emergence of a new direct lineage of the royal family within the clan, and this bloodline is not widely spread within the clan.
Just like the case of Li Yi.
Thus, even though Li Yi's origins are unclear, the Heavenly God Clan did not hesitate to absorb him, making him part of the direct royal lineage of the Heavenly God Clan, and even Emperor Haoguang was willing to publicly back him up.
