Originally, in the entire Demon Realm, only the Abyss Demon clan were considered royalty, and it was the appearance of the Supreme Wood that broke that stalemate. The Demon Realm had once fallen, the Abyss Demon clan had been driven out, and the realm had been taken over by the Nether Clan.
The Nether Realm's Patriarch Hou Tu never shaped people with his bare hands. After discovering that the Supreme Wood underwent strange changes upon arriving in the Demon Realm, it actually gave birth to innate demon fetuses. The aptitude of these innate demon fetuses was comparable to that of the Abyss Demons, so a batch of royalty was created, with the initial purpose of countering the Abyss Demons.
The growth of innate demon fetuses required a massive amount of resources, meaning they could not be mass-produced. Therefore, Hou Tu snapped the Supreme Wood, diminishing its might so that each successive generation of innate demon fetuses would be inferior to the last.
