The advancement of a Divine Tree is not the same as that of a warrior. In fact, Xiao Chen himself did not have full understanding. In the era of the Desolate Wilds' Gods, if all things in the world received creation's favor, they could become gods. Ancient mountains nurtured mountain gods, while the essences of plants and trees nurtured the gods of Spiritual Wood, and the expanses of lakes and marshes gave rise to water spirits.
Not to mention those deities born innately, but in this current age, with the silence of the gods, the divine traces that remained were hard to find, and whether a Divine Tree transforming into a spirit meant becoming a god or something else was difficult to distinguish, because since ancient times, there had been few Divine Trees that fashioned kings.
