The power of the Divine Realm, back in the day, the Emperor had perfected it, but in reality, many around the Emperor had also learned it. For instance, the Lin's top-level Transcendents nowadays have domain abilities similar to the Divine Realm.

At this time, a top-notch Transcendent skilled in the Divine Realm has appeared. It's hard not to associate them with the Emperor's descendants.
The Lin family is impossible; initially, their people couldn't take Gaia. One could even say they betrayed the Emperor and were not aligned with Gaia.
