I mean, he's not wrong. If you look at pretty much any religion other than the judeo-christian ones, piety usually comes a distant second behind interesting and entertaining in terms of getting a god's attention.
I think the word that you’re looking for is novelty but still following the teachings. Piety is pretty useless. Acknowledging that there is a higher being and knowing them is good enough. I’m not comfortable with the idea of religion in general but you learn a lot with there teachings.
I'm talking end game, probably levels up to godhood power then takes Goddess as his wife (concubine #4).
Ahh what'd it be like to only be concubine #4 when you're the God of creation for this entire world? I'm sure she won't kill or torture the others (wife + 1-3)?
