Corpse King

 The Thunder Emperor waited patiently as the Waking Monarch considered all his options. He was not willing to bow to some so-called God. Gods were the thins of mortals and nothing more. This was the general belief held by most cultivators. Even though there was irrefutable proof for the gods having existed in the past, the cultivators still held no reverence for these ancient beings. Instead, many of them sought to surpass the gods and reach the apex of power.

The Waking Monarch was no different from these cultivators. In fact, he believed that he would reach the level of the gods sooner rather than later. He was very confident that his Dao was comparable to that of the Gods.

Since this was the case, why should he have to worship them. It would be better if he worshiped himself.
