Xu Ran, Gu Yuena, and the Goddess of Life were all top-tier powerhouses.
But beyond them, Xu Ran's side had no other powerhouses to call upon.
If one of them were assigned to protect the people around Xu Ran, only two would be left capable of fighting. That obviously would not do.
Besides, in terms of top-tier fighting strength, he was now no worse off than the Divine Realm. But the Divine Realm's First-Level Gods, Second-Level Gods, and host of divine officials all had fighting strength as well.

"Gu Yuena, don't think I'm doing this for you. I wouldn't care even if you died. I'm worried about Xu Ran. If a temptress like you bewitched Xu Ran into overestimating himself and opposing the Divine Realm alongside you, only to end up smashed to pieces, that would be terrible. Xu Ran has a family. He already has so many women. If something happened to him, many people would be heartbroken." The Goddess of Kindness spoke with a somewhat haughty air. She felt that her concern for Xu Ran was not for her own sake, but out of consideration for the others around him.

"Xu Ran loves me so much. Of course he'll stand on the same battle line as me." Gu Yuena gave a delicate snort.
"You!"
"I think you're just using Xu Ran, trying to make him help you. You don't truly love him at all. You only got together with him
