Regardless of how formidable the original Divine King was, after Zhou Tian used the power of the Divine Emperor's treasure to weaken his strength by more than half, his performance at that time exceeded the level of a True God. However, compared to other Divine Kings, he was far from comparable.
If, at that time, when the Divine King's power was weakened, the strength of Zhou Tian's True Gods was amplified, then the difference in strength between that Divine King and the True Gods would not have been as great as outsiders might think.
With Zhou Tian's arrangements, that Divine King had no way to showcase his cultivation level through his performance.
If matters truly progressed to that point, even if that Divine King's cultivation had indeed reached the realm of a Divine King, it would have been meaningless as Zhou Tian's True Gods would not believe he was a Divine King.
Who would have thought that one day, a Divine King would be only slightly stronger than the True Gods?
