The statue came to life, and the god descended into the mortal world, becoming an ordinary "mortal."
"This feels a little strange."
It was Lu PingAn's first time completing a God Descent. Or rather, only after his Courtyard had reached the true standards of a divine kingdom not long ago had he gained the qualification for remote God Descent.
In the end, God Descent was "high-dimensional" interference with "low-dimensional" existence. If one's level was insufficient, it simply could not be used.

Only after stepping outside the painting, with sufficient processing power to support you—a divine kingdom—could you use your will to interfere with the mortal world, using its foundations as a vessel to shape a divine body and complete a God Descent.
"So fragile, yet not that fragile."
Those seemingly contradictory words were the reality of this even more contradictory body.
Judging purely by physical strength, he was utterly weak, perhaps not even as strong as a third-rank combat professional. Any relatively capable "hero" from this world would surpass him after just one week of adventuring.
