After leaving the Lower Realm, Qian Xunji slowed down.
He spread his hands. In his left palm rested a Light Godhead radiating pure white light; in his right was a Darkness Godhead wreathed in ink-black mist.
The auras of these two First-Level God godheads were resonating in some way with the dawn core and Dusk Aspect within him.
Because he had once obtained the Light-Dark Dragon King's power, his Angel had gained the ability to transform through Three Phases. If he devoured and fused these two godheads himself, he would likely rise another step.
Qian Xunji studied them for a moment, then closed his fingers and returned both godheads to his storage ring.
They were fine treasures, but he could not use them.
Leaving aside the fact that he had secured the Light Godhead for Qian Renxue in the first place, forcibly absorbing them now was ill-advised even from the standpoint of his own interests.
No matter how many First-Level God godheads he stacked together, crossing the threshold to God King would still be difficult.
More importantly, the reason he could sit at the same table as those four from the God Realm Committee and divide the spoils was a delicate balance of combat strength.
Or rather, even as a Half-Step God King wielding the Inverse Celestial Balance, the threat he posed to a God King was limited. As for who was most likely to become the Inverse Celestial Balance's target now, that was already an open-book question.
If he truly got lucky, broke through to the God King realm, and upset that balance, Destruction God, Life God, Goodness God, and Evil God would inevitably reverse their attitudes toward him.
The ally who had once kept Asura in check would become a potential threat to the Divine Realm.
