Tao Qian knew that there were gods in the Outer Realm, and they were numerous.
However, these gods were divided into good and evil, righteous and malevolent, or perhaps neutral types.
Like the Longevity Star who once scattered Immortal Peaches at Meiling, it likely was one of those gods who didn't side with any particular camp.
The Toad God, on the other hand, belonged to the friendly type.
"When I obtained the Nine Toad Bead that day, the triggered Record stated: 'The Toad God is a lazy, obese god from the Outer Realm, extremely friendly to the Human Clan, who had helped many strong individuals from the Nine Toad Sect advance to the Daoist Transformation Realm.'"
"It is rare indeed that this 'Evil Python,' a god from the Outer Realm, could enrage the Toad God to attack it."
