Of course, besides the horrendous gap between every level of the Legendary God Rank, another reason for the Divine Flame Lord's inability to contend with Talroth was the gap in Laws. As a Light Embodiment, even at the same cultivation level, Talroth would forever remain leagues above the Divine Flame Lord who merely was a Fire Embodiment.
And even that was a machination of the Realm Wills which since their creation, geared the Primogens toward certain paths. With that one move, Talroth gave irresistible validation to his words, and brought both the willing and the unwilling to his side.
"Agni, please restrain yourself. As for you, Talroth, though you've spoken many truths and raised salient points, there is no need to act in such an overbearing fashion. We may no longer have the Great Primal Ancestor, but around this table, those able to contend with you are more than one."
