Bai Pu certainly knew the reason within.
He had not truly opened his mind to embrace suffering.
He merely touched it slightly.
If Bai Pu opened his mind, allowing the Holy Thorns to drain his blood dry, there were two possibilities.
First, Bai Pu dies.
Second, Bai Pu, by some luck, does not die and receives the infusion of the Power of Twisted, perhaps mutating into a Level 7 Lord, earning a moniker like "Whipper."
By then, the three Divine Favorers might become four Divine Favorers.
However, this would mean abandoning the identity of an Awakened to become a member of the Original Sin World. Whether or not he could retain his consciousness, he would certainly become a loyal hound to the Master of Suffering.
Bai Pu definitely wouldn't do that, hearing Father Arius's question, he could only helplessly shake his head, "I don't know why either, I could feel the gods' gaze, but for some reason, they turned away and did not bestow the divine grace."
