The other Dao Lords didn't think their demands were unreasonable. Tepid Scholar believed that since the Forging Pathway used to belong to him, it was right for him to ask that it be returned to its original owner.
As for Martial Will, if he wanted to be unreasonable, he would have asked for Black Chain's Enslavement Pathway. But he knew that it was impossible to get Black Chains to give up two pathways in a row.
So he didn't bother to ask for the impossible. Instead, he also asked for something that he believed was rightfully his. It was also something that other Dao Lords would support.
Just as he expected, every Dao Lord began to pressure Black Chains about the matter of letting the Blessed Heaven World ascend. All of them joined with Martial Will in shouting and argued with Black Chains to his face.
What they were asking for should have been something that they didn't need to ask for. But Black Chains had made it so that they needed to ask for his permission.
