Baili Qingfeng understood the key point very quickly.
"Demigods fear death, but true gods don't."
"..."
Flame King thought it over. It seemed to make sense.
But...
Both demigods and true gods feared death, didn't they?
"To kill a true god, all you have to do is wear away their will and energy, right?"
"That... is true, but... a demigod is one thing. A true god... especially a true god who possesses a divine kingdom..."
"Then it's easy. It'll just take a little longer, that's all."
Baili Qingfeng said,
"A true god, especially one who has condensed a divine kingdom, can almost never truly perish. Countless believers will remain in their divine kingdom and even provide them with strength in the form of spirits. Even if every spirit within the divine kingdom perishes, as long as a single believer still offers sacrifices to them, they'll awaken from their slumber... It's nothing more than a matter of how much time it takes."
"Unless you destroy their divine kingdom?"
"A divine kingdom is a collective formed from the faith of countless believers guided by a true god. It's very difficult for an individual to destroy it, just like how a powerful knight can assassinate the opposing commander amid an army of tens of thousands, yet cannot fight an army of tens of thousands alone!"
"I can."
Baili Qingfeng said,
"A ninth-level fighter fighting an army of tens of thousands—even an army from the Twin Moon World—would only need to spend a little time."
"..."
Flame King looked at Baili Qingfeng. After a long while, he said, "You're right. There are indeed powerful ancient gods who can use their own strength to wear away a true god's divine kingdom..."
Baili Qingfeng nodded.
He already knew that even without Flame King telling him.
