There's another rather unreasonable theory, which is that regardless of looks, appearance, talent, personality, or character, that great Prophet Jose was just too perfect, and people who are overly perfect inherently don't fit in this flawed world. So Jose died, while someone like Tom, who has serious flaws, is still alive.
In short, regardless of whether it's the Holy Mountain Sumier side or the Northeast Diocese of the Whisper Sect, what Motan saw was their depleted strength after both sides were damaged and their Primordial Qi was worn out.
But this wasn't necessarily a bad thing for Motan, after all, although he had considerable command abilities due to some of his traits, he had a critical shortcoming that was difficult to remedy in the short term, which was a lack of understanding of this world's strength. Therefore, the higher the level of both sides, the weaker his control over the situation.
