The opportunity for ascension is more important than the Magic Potion, it is a kind of idealistic understanding.
It is an affirmation of the path one will take, and the most crucial step in building the foundation!
And once the opportunity comes, one can take the final step at any time. Achieve Overlord status!
The Little Mad King in the Disaster Fog is like this; she had long welcomed the opportunity for ascension, hence she could decisively take the Magic Potion and begin her ascension.
And the Doll, during the battle with the Horror Demon Fear Empress, both encountered the opportunity and ascended to Overlord simultaneously.
Li Yelai now, the quality of Spiritual Energy for ascension to Overlord is there, but the Magic Potion and opportunity remain elusive.
It's like a long staircase, Li Yelai has reached the end.
Arrived at a certain gate, but has no key and no qualifications to step into the world beyond the gate.
