The next stage after the Golden Core is the Nascent Soul.
And a Nascent Soul must possess a Great Dao.
What is a Great Dao?
A Great Dao is a composite Law, formed by combining a sufficient number of Laws, capable of creating a self-sustaining cycle within a world.
Simply put, a Great Dao is what can support the operation of a world.
The greatest, most perfect, and thus most complete Great Dao is the Great Cosmos itself.
But Nascent Souls obviously cannot reach such a height.
The completeness of their Great Daos is clearly lacking. They can only support the operation of a world under certain conditions.
Within a world, supported by the Great Dao of the Great Cosmos, the difference isn't too apparent.
But upon entering a place where the Laws are in chaos, such as the borderlands of a world, the quality and completeness of a Great Dao become evident.
