"Until... the world's fortune began to decay."
"For some unknown reason, the world's total fortune began to decay. Though the process was very slow, it would one day dwindle to a point where there wouldn't be enough to sustain all the gods."
"At that point, a god could exist for ten thousand years at most."
"It was also around that time that a rumor began to spread: the Abyss of Descent held the secret to immortality."
Immortality!
Bai Yuan and the others' pupils contracted in shock.
The temptation of that single word was simply too great for anyone in the world to resist.
And the same was true for the gods.
Even powerhouses like the Grand Ancestor Emperor and the Demon Sect Ancestor Master could only live for eight hundred years. It was short—far too short.
Even the ancient gods had a limited lifespan.
Who wouldn't want to live forever?
No wonder so many great demons from antiquity had gone to the Abyss of Descent.
It was a temptation no one could withstand.
