In all cases, everyone understands one thing clearly…
being a Guardian who shares a seventh stage law with other cultivators is a terrible situation—an exceptionally dangerous and restrictive position that few would willingly accept.
And yet, despite the risks and the countless stories of those who fell because of such choices, some people still choose to advance using a law already claimed by others.
Why would anyone take that gamble?
Because it is generally easier, safer, and perhaps the law itself is more powerful.
For example… the Patriarch of the Destra Family generously provided all Destruction-Path laws to his children, handing them down like weapons forged directly from his own comprehension.
From Hedrick's perspective, among that arsenal, the strongest in his eyes was clearly the Crumbling Law, so he chose it without hesitation.
