"With your cultivation at the peak of Saint-Level back then, if it had been a normal holy war, under your leadership, the Dark Army would have undoubtedly inflicted tremendous losses on my Light Army. If I had exposed you too early, you naturally wouldn't have continued to dream of devouring the Chrysanthemum Pig. Although I could still suppress you with the power of the Absolute Love Poppy, I couldn't have kept you, and the Absolute Love Poppy can only be used once. Even if we won the holy war, if you managed to escape, it would be an eternal threat to our Bright Five Element Continent. Hidden in the shadows, you could bring us catastrophic disaster. Therefore, I had to take a risky gamble, allowing you to devour the Chrysanthemum Pig and temporarily become a god. Only in such a situation would you not escape, giving me the true opportunity to destroy you."
