The Lord of Justice and Order gazed at Jiang Hao, studying him closely.
To break through the Abyssal Consciousness's blockade and send a message to the Good Snake, the Lord of Dawn had shattered himself and fallen into the Astral Plane.
But unlike the God of Justice, whose Authority had no possibility of advancing to Divine Rank 19 and could strengthen the Sovereign of Order's Authority, the Lord of Dawn possessed something different. After Tyr fell, his Authority had been transferred to the Sovereign of Order, who became the Lord of Justice and Order and drew ever closer to Divine Rank 19.
The Authorities the Lord of Dawn held—Glimmer, Dawn, Radiance, and others—were all offshoots of the Sun Authority. One more step would bring him to Divine Rank 19.
Besides, the Lord of Dawn was the strongest of the benevolent gods apart from the Lord of Justice and Order. Transferring his Authority to another Avatar of an Intermediate Divine Power True God would merely raise that Avatar to Greater Divine Power.
Rather than have another True God's Avatar replace him and become a second Lord of Dawn, it was better to pull the Lord of Dawn back from the Astral Plane.
At least that would give him one more True God-level Avatar.
