Gods also differed greatly from one world to another.
In most multiverses, they were often regarded as part of the world's rules, derivatives of the World's Will. Once a great deal of "foreign capital" had been invested, control naturally belonged to the "investors"—the worlds.

At this moment, the high-level combat forces under Lu PingAn had also concentrated all their efforts on "conversion."
They needed to remove the remnants of power from the Underground World and return to their normal, independent forms.
Control that was never exercised was no different from having none at all. And now—
