The painting above revealed countless god veins in space with each and every one of them possessing a being with a shadowy figure looking over it! There were more paintings of those shadowy figures removing a god vein and putting in new ones. Even though their face could not be seen, the look in their eyes was that of amusement! While many would believe that those beings are the gods of the world, Derik knew it wasn't. a god's power is limited! Even a realm protector cannot destroy a god vein! That's why Blake was trying to swallow the god vein, Derik knew he would die no matter how badass his devour power is!
Those beings in the picture are the celestial beings far beyond their level, putting in new god veins and destroying the old ones. This reminded him the time of his god vein has passed and soon the celestial beings will seek to remove it just like they did to the world of the old gods when he was little.
