The theoretical strength of the middle-rank gods in the world of deities is comparable to the Supreme.
But that is because the King of Gods has meticulously planned their ascension paths for them.
As long as they remain within this framework, they can exhibit the same divine peculiarities as the Supreme.

In contrast, upper-rank gods, with their formidable strength, are on par with Li Pin when she first mastered the Fourth Layer of the Imaginary Space Law; in one-on-one situations, the Supreme clearly has the disadvantage.
However, as time passed and with the spread of the Imaginary Space Law, the Supremes also managed to barely maintain the situation.
Moreover, with the constant aid of the impending Creators, they indeed held off the first wave of attack brought by those more than three thousand deities.
But this was also within the estimations of Li Pin and Gui Ling.
