The avatar had already expected this situation the moment he changed his energy into that of Avergis' followers. Those temple members would consider him someone of a much higher rank than themselves.
Although he was still at Immortal Overlord Stage, the purity of his energy was something that, in their view, could only be possible if he possessed a cultivation stronger than the Immortal Realm.
He took advantage of the fact that there were groups from the higher heavens present in the second heaven so he could move freely. He even brought up one of their leaders to make his story more believable.
He knew all the names of the groups that Avergis had sent from the higher heavens, as they had been inside his domain in Su City. During the time he observed them, he learned all of their identities and all of their plans from the discussions they had among themselves.
