Watch Very Closely! I

A Universal Hegemony could not act against those of the lower levels!

An oath was sworn with every rising Universal Realm expert as the most these beings could do was exert influence on those below them. 

This influence alone was extremely domineering, and it was enough to show the grandeur of the Hegemonies that stood at the peak of power in many Universes.

But it was still just that- influence!

For those that wished to break under the influence of Hegemonies, certain conditions had to be met. They had to either be truly powerful Paragons that neared the Universal Realm themselves...or they had to have something shocking in their arsenal like the comprehension of a Cosmic Dao!
