Transcendents from the New Continent, lacking the training systems of the Old Continent, had their potential prematurely tapped into, causing their upper limits to be generally lower than those of the Transcendents from the Old Continent.
If we were to discuss true strength, the Transcendents of the New Continent were completely no match for those of the same level in the Old Continent. However, because the New Continent came in contact with the Evil God too frequently, many Transcendents became tainted with its aura, causing their power to somewhat reflect that of the Evil God.
The power of the Evil God was ever-changing and mysteriously unpredictable; Transcendents skilled in manipulating the Power of the Evil God had a significant advantage in battle.
