To become a divine entity requires performing a deification ritual, but for Chen Feng now, this is simply a matter that cannot be considered.
A population of millions is not enough to support a deification altar.
Of course, population is only a small part. For Chen Feng, the real condition restraining him is strength; with mere Half-Step Epic power, he can't even defeat Rosse's projection, and with such strength, naturally cannot become a divine entity.
What Chen Feng needs to do now is to accomplish the status of a [Pseudo-God].
Perhaps it can be said that any non-True Divine Being who receives believers is a Pseudo-God, and Pseudo-Gods who steal believers from True Gods will be suppressed by the gods. A Demigod is in the cradle period of a True God, just a step away from becoming a formal True God, and small-scale collection of believers can be tolerated, but there will still be True Gods from opposing forces coming to sabotage.
