The Light God continued, "Cao Xing, you may be strong, but you cannot possibly be a match for beings like us."
"Think carefully. Right now, you can deal with Hero Tier powerhouses."
"But... can you deal with Legendary Tier ones?"
"Even if you join forces with the old king and can handle Legendary Tier combat power, what if something beyond Legendary Tier appears?"
"Even with a demigod artifact in his grasp, the old king would be no match for an existence at that level."
Although the Light God had not answered directly, Cao Xing had roughly understood the level of power these gods possessed after losing their Godheads.
A smile appeared on his face as he continued, "All right, one last question."
"What benefits would I get from joining your Light Church?"
"Don't tell me I'd become a Light Seed. I have no interest in that title."
Hearing this, the glowing humanoid assumed Cao Xing had been tempted and immediately replied.
"Just as I promised Shen Shengjie back then, once I emerge from the Nether Abyss Land, I will help you advance to the Legendary Tier."
"However, you must immediately cease your attacks on the other strongholds!"
Just as he thought Cao Xing would immediately agree.
Cao Xing instead asked with a strange expression, "That's it?"
The glowing humanoid paused slightly, then asked in confusion, "You're still not satisfied with advancing to the Legendary Tier?"
"Do you know how difficult it is to break through to the Legendary Tier?"
"That is the first step on the path to godhood, a barrier that has trapped countless exceptionally talented Hero Tier powerhouses!"
Cao Xing shook his head. "It's merely the Legendary Tier!"
"I can kill Tier 10 Overlord Tier beings right now. Do you think I'm still far from the Legendary Tier?"
