"Their potential couldn't reach the level of a demigod unless they found a Divine Embryo."
In other words, only those who could find the mythical treasures and nurture a Divine Embryo were qualified to become a demigod.
After becoming a demigod, whether to further enhance themselves and complete the full Divine Endowment and Divine Enthronement depended on their own desires.
"However, this doesn't apply to the demonic races. If the demonic race finds the mythical treasures, even if they are only at the great demon level, as long as they awaken the mythical treasure, they can be directly enthroned as gods."
"Therefore, pioneers, the corrupted ones, and the demonic race, all have different paths. But the pioneers are the only ones who do not rely on the mythical treasures."
"I digress, what I mean to say is, many followers of the new gods expand influence, or masquerade as new gods to gain power."
"The easier it is to impersonate, the more power one can gain."
