Laine shook his head slightly. After all, this was also one of the reasons why his divine self was outside, while his human incarnation still had to descend again.
Despite the respected Lord of the Spirit Realm having claimed, for many years, that he wanted to explore the path to divinity, using this to analyze a deity's authority from below upwards, his actual achievements to date were zero.
Indeed, what about demigods, what about self-generated divinity? These were concepts he had investigated during the middle of the second era, yet further developments were still absent, just as they were back then.
Cohen's success, at best, demonstrated from another angle the potential of different methods of self-generated divinity, but it made no progress towards ascension to divinity itself.
Thus, in such circumstances, Laine wasn't keen on directly following the various branches that stemmed from these two paths, after all, he didn't know whether they were dead ends.
