Using a divine persona like that was a terrible waste. If he surpassed level 16 in the future, he would be able to extract rules from the divine persona, enabling him to acquire power of the water element god without having to train.
Extraction would enable him to save up to 10,000, even 100,000 years. At present however, he used the divine persona to adjust the flow of time. Even if the divine persona remained intact when he was done, the powers within would be drained and the rules would be damaged, making extraction very difficult.
There was no way he would waste a divine persona. He summoned all his followers from the magic amplifier and had them all train.
All the resources that he had brought with him were distributed among them and Saleen made it clear that they were able to afford to spend 1,000 years there doing nothing.
