Gongsun Qian's confidence stemmed from his formidable strength. A strong being in the Reincarnation Realm could indeed look down upon the Heavenly Martial Continent.
In the Heavenly Martial Continent, one could not become a god. Even if there were gods present, they were all from before ancient times and had not left the Heavenly Martial Continent.
Just like the old man who appeared when the Star Giant Beast attacked the Outer Space Star Tunnel, though he was a god, no one knew his identity. He remained on the Heavenly Martial Continent because he was its Guardian.
Only if the Heavenly Martial Continent faced a significant crisis would these gods appear. Otherwise, they would not. Below the gods are the powerful beings of the Reincarnation Realm. Some of these cultivators risk the peril of certain death, crossing the Endless Sea to the central world on the other side, seeking an opportunity to become gods.
