So, this should be straightforward plus it's a downgrade so people are bound to agree.
Anyway, 9-Essence Paragons are currently High 1-B and 4th Step cultivators are 1-A. Now, 4th Step cultivators are fine since they scale to literally being 1-A concepts and all. However, 9-Essence level beings are High 1-B through scaling to Ancient Realm Meng Hao, who can control "countless" (in context infinite) spatial dimensions via the Essence/Dao of Space. Now, the issue here isn't that the feat itself isn't legitimate but that this is just hax done via slightly manipulating a 1-A Dao. It doesn't actually scale to their physicals and as such they should be downgraded.
This blog covers the proposed tiering of the 3rd Step.
TL;DR of tiers:
7-Essence to 8-Essence level cultivators: Low Multiverse level (Equivalent to the Avacaniya realm, which is described as being capable of making multiple universes manifest. Unfathomably superior to Quasi-3rd Step cultivators, who can warp the universe and space-time with their techniques and are repeatedly stated to be able to destroy the universe and Ecang, who's an existence on the same level as an entire universe. In the same realm as Vast Expanse Lifeforms such as Harmonious Morus Alba, a peak Avacaniya being, varying from being inferior to being comparable to it)
9-Essence level cultivators: Multiverse level (Comparable to Ancient Realm Meng Hao, who can shake the entire Vast Expanse. Said Vast Expanse being endless to beings that can hold universal space-times within themselves and containing countless vortexes large enough to hold these creatures. Are unfathomably superior to all other 3rd Step cultivators)
Quasi-4th Step cultivators: At least Multiverse level, likely Low Complex Multiverse level (On the level of the embodiment of the River of Time and can manipulate it at will, said River being the overarching timeline of the entire Vast Expanse, onto which many smaller timelines are embedded)
Essence/Dao Magic just become 1-A hax anyway, since well, Daos are already 1-A and they don't scale to physicals.
Affected profiles:
Meng Hao (Post Immortal Ascension)
Bai Xiaochun (Eternal World)
Fang Mu
The Arch-Ancestor (A Will Eternal)
The Mortal Renegade
Agree: 8 (Nepuko, Zaratthustra, SamanPatou, DarkDragonMedeus, Antvasima, Setsuna_tenma, Ricsi-viragosi, ZackMoon1234)
Disagree:
Neutral:
