After all, as the host of the Asura invitation, even after death, one can inherit the highest mission progress rating, unlike the Great Heavenly Rank, where the rating becomes fixed upon death.
No need to get involved in this matter.
Furthermore, the combat strength of the Great Heavenly Rank is indeed weaker, even the strongest Corpse King is no match for the Shura's Seven-Star Whip, let alone they possess other magical tools.
If he can't keep up, as long as he doesn't covet the rewards, he can leave first.
Of course, wanting the reward isn't much of an issue, just bear the consequences yourself. Looking at Gu Shanhai's tone, it seems he can't protect them.
"This, can work?" The Great Heavenly Rank is quite self-aware, evident from when buying things from Gu Shanhai. Doing so does make him lose some opportunities, but it's very stable and is key to his gradual progress.
