After such a long period of practice, Rod had gained a pretty clear understanding of how to acquire divinity.
Its core point was not about humans, but about oneself.
The positive impact you had on humans determined how much divinity you could acquire.
As powerful as the core legion was, even Rod, if he had joined, would have been just one among twenty non-human-level warriors.
Even if he had conquered Storm Pass, his role would have been minimal.
Thus, Rod decisively declined the invitation to join the core legion.
Dalin was quite regretful; the invitation had come from Luo Weiya, a Fire Son, but since Rod had declined, he had to choose another twenty second-level combatants.
The second choice was to become part of the auxiliary force that fought alongside the core legion.
Dalin told Rod that the core legion was like an unimaginably huge battleship—strong but very bulky, requiring some smaller, more agile escort ships to handle petty affairs for it.
