Four-Armed Divine Emperor

Therefore, the White Tower's understanding of resources is different from that of the Romans. In their view, victory or defeat in the supernatural realm determines everything else. So for this reason, they would give up the mortal world's territory. After all, it would still be mine if I win. There is no point in protecting them now. For the White Tower, which has accumulated resources over a long period of time, their war reserves and potential are still the "strongest" even if they lose all their territories in the mortal world.

But for the Four-Armed Ones, the growth rate of the tribe's power is linked to the number of intelligent lives under their rule. The more the latter, the faster and stronger the former. Therefore, it is most reasonable and effective to first become mortal and then transcendent.
