Though they were both Ninth Tier True Gods, the man in golden armor and the man dressed in beast skins both chose to ignore the Black Robed Woman, instead staring each other down with raging battle intent surging between them.
According to Guding's assessment, the Black Robed Woman's dismissal was likely not due to gender, but because of her relatively weaker aura. In contrast, the auras of the man in golden armor and the beast-skinned man were very close in intensity, both at the Ninth Tier True God Peak level, thus the confrontational stare-down between them.
However, Guding had made a misjudgment. His prior assumption was that these two would likely not engage in combat during this type of selection battle. But as it turned out, he was grossly mistaken. Not only did the two fight, but their battle turned the world upside down.
