Three years is neither long nor short, but for Lu Ping'an, this period held tremendous significance.
It's rare for someone to dutifully remain at the eighth-tier for three years. This has eased many observers who had consistently been monitoring him... they were genuinely suspicious that Lu might instigate the resurrection of Evil Gods and directly inherit the World's Reason from the Disaster Beast and ascend to godhood.
"... Do I look like an extremely dangerous entity like Big Cat? I'm perfectly normal."
"True extremists, fanatics of Evil Gods, and lunatics all believe they are the normal ones; they think it's the rest of the world that's crazy, even believing the entire world has gone mad."
This is probably as convincing as a drunk driver insisting they aren't intoxicated, yet they genuinely believe it themselves.
But the stability over these years, along with the visible "appreciation" of his worth, has relieved many of his followers.
"His divinity has grown stronger."
