Was it worth it to sacrifice a gigantic, habitable planet just to kill a mere god-level incarnation?
Yes, it was.
Fang Ning explained that, after all, the universe had many similar planets such as this. Furthermore, humans now mainly lived on Earth and they had no pressing need for the planet.
This planet had just started development, which meant that it was still in a state of ancient wilderness. Using this as a price for getting rid of a descended one who was a god-level incarnation and being able to show the strength of this time and space's power, was a hugely meaningful battle strategy.
It was just like the appearance of nuclear weapons, which guaranteed that there was no World War 3.
Similarly, Fang Ning believed that getting rid of a god-level incarnation such as the Spirit Lord would scare those gods into hiding. Those gods who were once high above humans, forcing them to sign so-called contracts with the gods.
