"Why stop him?"
Yolanda was the first to ask, "If my brother ascends to godhood, isn't that something to celebrate?"
If Duke Qinghui became the Celestial God of a new era, then all the Purity People would rise with him. Another Realm of Order would be added to the Mortal World, and this catastrophic Chaos Tide that has disrupted the Mortal World's order will be resolved thanks to the new Ascender.
You could say there's no downside.
"If my love were to ascend to godhood by his own will, it would indeed be a joyous occasion, one that would sweep away all our troubles and hardships."
Wan Qi explained calmly,
"But he is using my... the ritual left behind by the Venerable Master of the Azure Heaven. If he ascends to godhood this way, the Celestial God he becomes will be nothing more than a puppet, possessing only Divinity and a lingering obsession."
