The Oudro continent originally had many dark deities, who once were the rulers of the world and had some recognition for Ma Lin, but not to a high degree.
In today's interstellar federation, they feel that they have witnessed the true facet of the universe, that is, many races are simply backward and ignorant, only fit to be slaves to the deities.
After emigrating to those backward planets, they indeed developed quite a bit of vanity, as the locals worshipped them and supported them like the Oudro continent used to, doing as they pleased.
They would also cooperate with the federal government, assisting in infrastructure construction.
Then, the reverence of the residents for them would deepen.
Anything good they did, no matter how minor, would deepen the residents' reverence for them.
They felt that being a deity was truly a matter of pride, and that their own greatness was a cause for joy.
They liked this kind of life.
