So only god emperor is at the peak of rank 2 ? I was expecting that all the gods where peak rank 2 just to different stage but well. and immortal is bellieved to 'fligh' over rank 1 once he reach divine rank since he posses all path of sage avenue... then what about Varian ? and if you consider Synergy what about his wife.
Primordial gods were rank 3. But it is only inferred information and there is no direct proof. God Emperor is indeed the only peak rank 2. Varian's ascent in divine ranks would be unprecedented. The relative speed with which he will advance would be greater than celestial ranks, due to the 7 path advantage Synergy will help them greatly. However, it'd impossible to catch up once he crosses them. A big gap would open up and wouldn't be filled anytime soon.
